The Buffalo Bills fell to the New York Giants to begin their 2025 preseason. The final score isn't what the Bills care too much about, though. Rather, it's the individual performances that Buffalo is watching. However, one player had a play that is facing a lot of criticism.
Damar Hamlin has been one of the best stories over the last two years, returning to the field after suffering cardiac arrest against the Cincinnati Bengals back in the 2022 season. The Pitt product, though, had a play that fans were critical of.
Jaxson Dart threw a touchdown to Lil'Jordan Humphrey, beating Dane Jackson in the end zone. However, fans were quick to point out that Hamlin wasn't in a good spot to provide safety help and was merely jogging to the spot, not showing the necessary effort.

That's not a great look for a guy who isn't guaranteed consistent playing time.
