The Buffalo Bills Mafia saw their Lombardi hopes crash yet again. But they had a ray of hope when they saw Damar Hamlin. The Bills’ safety made his first public appearance in front of the masses after the horrifying cardiac arrest. However, there were claims that the one who appeared at Highmark Stadium was not him. Amidst that, Josh Allen was quick to scrutinize the theorists.
During the latest episode of Kyle Brandt’s Basement, Josh Allen joined and talked about a few subjects. Host Brandt also discussed the ongoing Damar Hamlin drama. Some people speculated it was a body double who was present at the Bills-Bengals divisional round game at Orchard Park.
