Defense had the interesting notes:

The Buffalo Bills got after it against the New England Patriots and ended up taking a close win, 27-21, on Sunday afternoon in Week 17.

But who exactly were the ones on the field for the Bills (10-6) doing all the dirty work against the Patriots (4-12)?

More often than not, taking a look in between the lines at snap count totals for Buffalo’s players can give us some insight as to what went down in between the lines on the gridiron.

There is always plenty to discover when looking at these finer details.

With that, here’s how the Bills depth chart broke down via snap counts in their latest win against the Patriots:

PFF: 5 worst-graded Bills players on defense in Week 15

PFF: 5 worst-graded #Bills players on defense in Week 15 vs. #Cowboys:

The Buffalo Bills easily won a thrilling 31-10 final in their Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Bills (8-6) had a few players that stood out above the rest in this one. On defense, the Bills had a strong showing out of multiple players, including cornerback Christian Benford who had an interception against the Cowboys (10-4).

But not every player helped pull out the win. If Buffalo is to crack the 2023 postseason, they’ll need better performances from these players.

According to Pro Football Focus, they’ll need these players specifically to start to play at a high level.

Here are the five worst-graded Bills players on defense against the Cowboys in Week 15:

NBC showed Damar Hamlin picking his teeth in the middle of a serious conversation about his injury

This was an unbelievably awkward time to show Damar Hamlin.

Sunday night was an emotional one for the Buffalo Bills.

It marked the first time that safety Damar Hamlin returned to the Cincinnati Bengals’ home field since his scary cardiac arrest last January. Hamlin didn’t play and has understandably featured in little action this year as he gradually works his way back in. But his on-field collapse remains one of the more harrowing moments in NFL history. As such, NBC’s Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth took some time to discuss the emotional gravitas of Hamlin’s injury and return to the NFL during the game. There was just one itsy-bitsy problem.

The network’s cameras probably couldn’t have a picked more awkward time to cut to Hamlin on Buffalo’s sideline as he picked his teeth. I’m almost stunned they showed Hamlin in this unflattering position at all:

I know the folks at NBC can’t predict what Hamlin or any player on the sideline will do at any given moment. But man, I don’t know. If we’re going to have a serious discussion about someone’s life-threatening injury from football on live national television, perhaps we should ensure we don’t show them from a compromised angle.

A solemn Damar Hamlin revisited the spot of his cardiac arrest after Bills – Bengals

Damar Hamlin stood alone at the spot where he collapsed last season at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium.

For Damar Hamlin, it couldn’t have been easy to return to Paycor Stadium as his Buffalo Bills played the Cincinnati Bengals.

It was the first time he was back since collapsing in the middle of the January game last season due to cardiac arrest. Thank goodness Hamlin recovered fully. 

Since then, the safety returned to NFL action, and although he was inactive on Sunday night, he was filmed after the game as he returned near the spot of his collapse, looking solemn as you’d expect given what he must have been thinking about at that moment.

Here are the videos, along with Hamlin’s tweet about that moment:

Bills’ Damar Hamlin took lap alone around Bengals’ Paycor Stadium after game

Damar taking a moment to himself:

As expected, it was an emotional day for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin who was returned to the home of the Cincinnati Bengals for the first time since 2022.

The last time there, Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest in a freak accident on the turf in Cincinnati.

Hamlin, 25, was inactive on game day. But after the contest, Hamlin was spotted taking an emotional lap around the turf after everyone left following the 24-18 loss for his team.

Hamlin even went over to the spot where he originally collapsed, a moment which changed his life forever.

Damar Hamlin announces scholarships to honor 10 who saved his life

Damar Hamlin brought big news with him to Cincinnati.

After Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in last year’s Buffalo Bills game against the Cincinnati Bengals, his life was saved by medical staff in the city of Cincinnati.

To honor the 10 people who helped save his life, Hamlin said he will be launching a scholarship program for Cincinnati youths on Sunday. The foundation, Chasing M’s, will award $1,000 scholarships to 10 individuals from the under-served communities in the area for each of the next three years.

“I’m humbled by the opportunity to set up a scholarship program to honor this team of professionals – my Cincinnati heroes – who helped save my life,” Hamlin said in a statement. “Today, as I look at honoring these Cincinnati heroes and lifting up young people who are trying to find their way, I’m reminded of the enormous blessing I’ve been given through my charity and the generosity of people around the world.”

All 10 of the individual scholarships will be named after a different one of the 10 first responders, nurses and doctors who treated Hamlin after he went into cardiac arrest that night during the game.

The announcement comes the day the Bengals and Bills match up in the regular season again on Sunday night in Cincinnati. Hamlin made the trip with the Bills and announced the scholarship program in Cincinnati after the team arrived Saturday. Hamlin made the Bills roster again this season, but has only played in one game.
