After much commotion after Damar Hamlin‘s injury last night, many NFL pundits and fans alike have posted their condolences to Hamlin, his family, and the Buffalo Bills.
When a tragic incident like this occurs, it can be difficult to know what to say, and how to come up with the right words to say in a given situation.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen shared a short but simple sentiment late last night.
Please pray for our brother.

In tough times, it’s important to remember simple truths.
While the majority of NFL fans are not doctors or medical professionals and cannot help Hamlin in that sense, they can certainly help in other ways.
Whether it’s a prayer, “good vibes,” or some combination of the two, Allen reminds all NFL fans that Hamlin is a human first, and he certainly deserves to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Allen is a leader, not only on the Bills but across the NFL as well.
This public sentiment certainly goes a long way, and it is just another reminder that football is more than a game.
These players feel a kinship with each other, and they make each other feel like more than teammates, but rather a big family who all participate in this dangerous sport together.
Players on the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals alike are sure to never forget this situation and will be in constant reminder that life is short, and a life-altering injury can occur at any time.
We are all hoping and praying alongside Josh Allen for Damar Hamlin.
