Damar Hamlin was on the other end of a serious injury in primetime on Thursday night. 

In a dreadful night for the Miami Dolphins, a 31-10 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills included a concussion to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter. The hit that caused Tagovailoa’s concussion came on a tackle by Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered an on-field cardiac arrest in January 2023.

Tua had only passed for 145 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions prior to the injury, as Miami fell into a 31-10 hole.

With Tagovailoa out, Dolphins backup Skylar Thompson came in and failed to lead a touchdown drive. His first series resulted in a sack on a critical fourth down deep inside Buffalo territory. 

Second-year running back De’Von Achane’s performance was one of the few bright spots for Miami. Achane was questionable with an ankle issue coming into the game, but looked completely healthy on the field. He finished the game with 96 rushing yards, 69 receiving yards and the Dolphins’ only touchdown.
