Of course this is how the Buffalo Bills started their game Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Of. Course.
The Bills are playing their first game after Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in Cincinnati last Monday night and almost lost his life. It has been an emotional week in Buffalo and those emotions were on display during pregame ceremonies.
And then once play began Nyheim Hines returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown.
I mean, this start was right out of a Hollywood script. It was incredible, and Hamlin, who’s watching from his hospital room in Cincinnati, loved it.
Check this out:
The @BuffaloBills return the opening kick. You couldn't write this script.
