Damar Hamlin Achieves Milestone with First Career Interception
Damar Hamlin's Remarkable NFL Achievement
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin's miraculous comeback reached another milestone Monday as he grabbed his first career interception. Hamlin intercepted Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence late in the second quarter. Lawrence overthrew receiver Brian Thomas Jr., and Hamlin was ready and waiting to accept the errant pass. Follow along for live coverage. The Bills scored their fourth touchdown only a few plays later.
Hamlin's Journey Back to the Field
Hamlin is in his fourth season with Buffalo, but it’s his first season as a starting safety. He earned the spot in training camp after the Bills parted ways with their previous starting safeties in the offseason. Through two weeks, Hamlin has played the vast majority of Buffalo’s defensive snaps, and entering Monday he had recorded 14 total tackles. This interception is particularly poignant as it comes 20 months after his near-fatal injury against the Cincinnati Bengals.
