Bills, Bengals fans gather outside hospital to support Damar Hamlin: ‘Least we can do is come down and pray’

Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals fans joined hands in prayer outside the University of Cincinnati Medical Center as they awaited further updates on Damar Hamlin’s condition Monday night.

Fans seemed to come all the way from Paycor Stadium to show their support for the young defenseman after he collapsed on the field during the game. The Bills safety appeared to make a tackle on Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, getting up for a moment and taking a few steps back before collapsing.

Hamlin required CPR and an AED in the field before being rushed to the hospital.

Fans were outside the hospital to show their support.
