Josh Allen On Tee Higgins-Damar Hamlin Hit: 'Nothing Else' Higgins 'Could've Done'

The Bills quarterback spoke to the media for the first time this week on Thursday.

CINCINNATI — Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen made sure to send well wishes to Tee Higgins following his first comments to the media after the Damar Hamlin incident.

"That's a football play, and I hope he doesn't hold that upon himself," Allen said about Higgins. "There's nothing else he could've done in that situation."

Allen and the Bills are in a much better headspace after Hamlin's father talked to the team, assuring the group that Damar would want them to play this weekend.

Higgins had to deal with a lot of unwarranted backlash that Allen deemed as unfair.

"I hope he got some relief today. I saw some stuff on Twitter. ... There's nothing else he could've done in that situation," Allen concluded.

The game is reportedly not going to get finished—leaving the AFC playoff structure in limbo until the NFL figures out a final plan.

Josh Allen showed his support for Tee Higgins, unprompted at the end of his presser.
