When Damar Hamlin fell to the ground during the Week 17’s MNF between the Bills and Bengals, everyone was worried about his health. Players, coaches and team’s staff totally forgot about the game and prioritized his health.
Zac Taylor, Bengals’ head coach, was in communication with the referees in order to see what would happen with the game. But he had it very clear and knew that the match was the least important topic in that moment.
“It’s bigger than football. I think Cincinnati and Buffalo are similar in that way and what the communities are about,” said Taylor about the support the city of Cincinnati has shown to Hamlin. “Thoughts and prayers to Damar Hamlin and the Bills organizations. It’ll be a great day when he’s able to see all of the support that he’s been given.”
Since the episode, fans started to donate money to Hamlin’s charity. He and his family have received a lot of support as he’s still in critical condition in the hospital.
