Damar Hamlin thanks Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars for ‘coming together in prayer’

Damar Hamlin tweeted his thanks to the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars as they put their rivalry aside Saturday night to pray for him ahead of their big AFC South matchup.

The two teams met at midfield at TIAA Bank Field and took a moment to pray for Hamlin, who went into cardiac arrest playing for the Bills against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.

Hamlin had previously posted on social media for the first time since the incident, but felt compelled to speak out once more, minutes after watching the scenes unfold.

‘Love is felt, and it is extremely real. No matter race or religion, all unite in prayer!’ Hamlin wrote.

The Titans and Jaguars came together to pray for Hamlin before his game on Saturday.

It prompted a second tweet of the night from Damar Hamlin, who was watching

The NFL itself shared footage of the teams meeting and wrote: “We’re all thinking of you Damar.”

Earlier on Saturday, the Chiefs played the Raiders in the first game since Monday against the Bills vs. Bengals, capping off an emotional week for the sport.

The Bills delivered a positive update on the 24-year-old Hamlin’s condition on Saturday, saying: ‘According to doctors at UC Medical Center, Damar is making continued progress in his recovery, but remains in critical condition.

He continues to breathe on his own and his neurological function is excellent.

Before seeing the symbolic gesture of the Titans and Jaguars, Hamlin wrote on Instagram: “When you put true love out into the world, it comes back to you 3 times over.”

“The love has been overwhelming, but I am grateful for each person who prayed for me and reached out. We rallied (sic) the world behind this.

‘If you know me, you know that this will only make me stronger. On a long way she keeps on praying for me.’

Hamlin (No. 3) got to his feet briefly after making a tackle on Tee Higgins before falling backwards in shocking scenes as the Buffalo Bills played the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hamlin collapsed moments later, falling backwards and lying motionless on the ground.

The NFL will also show its support for Hamlin during all of Week 18’s games, which begin Saturday afternoon, including a pregame moment of support, painting Hamlin’s number 3 at the 30-yard line and pregame jerseys featuring ‘Love for Damar 3’. The Bills will also wear ‘3’ jersey patches.

Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped Monday night after making what appeared to be a routine tackle in the first quarter against the Bengals.

The game was initially put on hold before being officially canceled later in the week.

The Bills plan to pay tribute to Hamlin and the first responders and medical personnel who treated the player when they close out the season Sunday by hosting the New England Patriots.
