After going into Monday night with vastly different rooting interests, Bills and Bengals fans ultimately found themselves pulling for the same outcome.
Interest in the Week 17 game between Cincinnati and Buffalo at Paycor Stadium was completely lost after a terrifying, first-quarter scene involving Damar Hamlin. The Bills safety suffered cardiac arrest after making a tackle and needed to have his heartbeat restored on the field before he was transported to a local hospital.
The University of Cincinnati Medical Center is roughly two miles away from the Bengals’ home stadium. And after Hamlin was brought to the facility for further treatment, fans of both AFC powerhouses congregated outside the hospital to show their support for the 24-year-old.
Hamlin was in critical condition as of 2 a.m. ET on Tuesday morning after he was sedated.
