Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen was emotional Thursday thanking paramedics for their quick response to Damar Hamlin’s demise and for “saving his life.”
Allen, speaking at a news conference in Orchard Park, New York, stopped to calm himself as he went through the experience.
He said: “You lose sleep, you feel sorry for your brother. “A lot of sadness is shared.”
“But (getting) updates, and positive updates, helps alleviate a lot of the pain and stress you feel,” the midfielder said.
“That scene plays over and over in your head,” Allen said when asked to think about his thoughts during the medical response at the scene. “It’s hard to answer that question and really describe how I felt, how my teammates felt in that moment.”
Allen has credited head coach Sean McDermott for his “perfect” response in the locker room and support of his players in the days since Hamlin’s demise.
