Before leaving the press conference, Josh Allen said, “I do want to say one more thing: I haven’t reached out to Tee [Higgins]. I saw some stuff on Twitter. People should not be attacking him, whatsoever, and I’m glad that Damar’s family came out and said that. Hopefully, he found some relief today because, again, that’s a football play. And I hope that he doesn’t hold that upon himself because there’s nothing else that he could have done in that situation.”
Very classy move by Josh Allen, who made sure to say this before his press conference ended today: "People should not be attacking Tee Higgins whatsoever. Hopefully he found some relief today. I hope he doesn't hold that upon himself."

The Damar Hamlin case is a marvelous illustration of why it brought people together in large numbers, putting aside differences and showing a universal feeling of sympathy and kindness. Catastrophe reveals the best in people; hopefully one day it will be obsolete to come together.
Despite such a tragedy, Josh Allen is ready for the Week 18 game.
