Damar Hamlin Makes Triumphant Return to Buffalo Bills Stadium for Playoff Game Against Bengals

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin made a triumphant return to the team’s stadium on Sunday for the playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals, three weeks after his on-field collapse and near death. Hamlin was welcomed back with a video posted on the team’s Twitter account, captioned “Welcome home,” which showed him donning sunglasses, a hoodie and a puffer jacket as he is driven by security to the team’s locker room.

The video also showed Hamlin’s mother and younger brother heading into the locker room separately. Hamlin gave a locker room talk to his teammates ahead of the game, according to CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson. CBS also showed the arrival at the stadium of two people the broadcast reported to be Hamlin’s mother Nina and his younger brother.

The Bills’ victory in the Wild Card Weekend set up a rematch between the Bills and Bengals in the next round. Hamlin’s return to the field was a heartwarming moment for the team and their fans, who have been cheering him on since his collapse earlier this month.

The Bills and Bengals will face off in the next round of the playoffs, and the team is hopeful that Hamlin will be able to make a return to the field. Regardless of the outcome, the team and their fans are grateful for the safety’s return and are looking forward to seeing him back in action.
