Josh Allen sends heartfelt message to Tee Higgins

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a message for Tee Higgins over the part he played in Monday night’s frightening incident involving Damar Hamlin.

Higgins was turning upfield after making a catch in Monday’s game when he was tackled by Hamlin on a typical football player. Hamlin got up and then collapsed after that tackle, as he went into cardiac arrest and has spent the week fighting for his life.

Higgins has been criticized by some for his part in the play, but Allen made clear Thursday that the Bills in no way hold him responsible for what happened. The Buffalo quarterback, unprompted, said there was nothing Higgins could have done differently, and that he hopes Higgins “doesn’t hold that upon himself.”
