The emotional energy permeated through Highmark Stadium on Sunday after the Buffalo Bills returned the New England Patriots’ opening kickoff for a touchdown.
Bills running back Nyheim Hines returned the kick 96 yards in the game’s opening seconds. The touchdown generated an undeniable emotional buzz just six days after Bills safety Damar Hamlin was taken off the field in an ambulance.
The 24-year-old went into cardiac arrest after assisting on a tackle during Buffalo’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on “Monday Night Football” at Paycor Stadium.
Warriors superstar Steph Curry felt the emotion from the Bills Mafia after the huge play.
Sports man! Sheesh. Can’t help but feel the emotions in that Stadium 🙏🏽 https://t.co/Yx4aFcCos2
