The Bills and Patriots game at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park will be filled with a lot of love for Damar Hamlin.
That, in many ways, provided as much relief as a release for his mates to get back to football.
“His message was the team needs to get back to focus on the goals they had set for themselves,’’ Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott said. “Damar would have wanted it that way. We owe that to Damar, and we owe that to his family.”The game is a weird one in that the 12-3 Bills have less riding on the outcome of the game than the 8-8 Patriots, who have to win to qualify for the playoffs.
A win by the Patriots would clinch their 13th playoff berth in 14 seasons. But the Patriots are in a difficult situation, not only because Buffalo is the better team but because Highmark Stadium is going to be emotionally charged. McDermott said Belichick was among the many NFL coaches who reached out to him to provide support after Hamlin was hurt, saying, “I certainly appreciate his thoughts and prayers.”
