With a gala performance, quarterback Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to their third win in the third NFL game – but Damar Hamlin provided the emotional highlight.

In the 47-10 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the 26-year-old, who had to be resuscitated on the field after suffering a cardiac arrest at the beginning of last year and had fought for his life, made the first interception of his career.

In the first quarter, the 26-year-old intercepted a pass from Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the fans in Highmark Stadium cheered wildly.

His teammates “played a big part in me being able to pull off this kind of comeback,” Hamlin said. “They were even happier than I was when I had my first interception.” That just shows what kind of community we have here in Buffalo. It’s a special place.”

Bengals in misery

In the second Monday game, the Cincinnati Bengals are ahead of the Washington Commanders 33:38, so the team around star quarterback Joe Burrow is still waiting for its first win.
