This Buffalo Bills fan who traveled to Cincinnati for Monday night’s football game, stopped by the local hospital before heading home to pray for Bills player Damar Hamlin, who has collapsed on the field in the first quarter.
It’s Andre. A Western New York Bills fan. He came to Cincinnati to watch the game last night. He is about to hit the road to go home.
He said he had to come and kneel down and pray. He told me he currently feels “lost and shocked” as he waits to hear from Damar Hamlin. pic.twitter.com/EHgyjSIqSt
