The Buffalo Bills opened up their regular-season finale against the New England Patriots in electric fashion as they played for injured teammate Damar Hamlin.
It turns out that Hamlin was watching.
Nyheim Hines opened up Sunday’s game in Orchard Park with a 96-yard kickoff return touchdown, setting off a frenzy of cheers and emotion at Highmark Stadium. Shortly after, Hamlin took to Twitter to react to the play, writing, “OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

It’s been an emotional week for the Bills and the NFL at large in the wake of Hamlin’s scary injury against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football.
