Damar Hamlin's Bills' Playoff Game Attendance Sparks Body Double Rumors

Damar Hamlin attended the Bills' playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday as his image popped up on the screens at Highmark Stadium as the snow was falling to the ground.

Hamlin was shown holding up his hands in the shape of a heart, which has become his signature move. He was also cheering despite his Bills teammates' struggles on the field.

Coach Sean McDermott said at the season that he thought it was "a pretty cool moment." He added that the game was not trending the way they wanted it to.

McDermott said that he was "super happy" for Hamlin and thankful that the Bills safety's health is returning.

Damar Hamlin returned to a Bills game after he was hospitalized. He was with his family and was also invited with his teammates to the locker room.

The injured Bills safety did not come on the field after almost three weeks of being under cardiac arrest during a game against the Bengals.

Meanwhile, his attendance at the Bills' game sparked wild rumors that he used a body double.

Damar Hamlin Body Double Rumors

Hamlin's reported presence at the Bills' game triggered wild conspiracies on the internet, alleging that used a body double in his place.

Multiple sources refuted the rumors and said that it was not true.

Hamlin did not speak with the media while his face was not seen clearly, prompting people on Twitter and online forums to suggest that he used a body double.

One conspiracy post reported by Newsweek noted that a Reddit user said that the Bills owner has not been seen in public and now people are supposed to believe that it was Hamlin who attended the recent game.

Hamlin was filmed to have arrived at the stadium before the match but his face was covered in the video.

His teammates and coach have confirmed that he came into the Bills' dressing room shortly.

McDermott told the press Hamlin came in a limited time and just got himself acclimated again in the environment.

In addition, he has been active on social media even before and since his Bills' game attendance.

The Buffalo Bills team tweeted a video of Hamlin arriving at the game with his mother and brother 30 minutes before the kick-off, according to The U.S. Sun.

He was also seen waving his arms to Bills fans and doing his heart gesture.

Hamlin has hinted at his return on Instagram hours before the Sunday game. He also shared snippets while he was battling for his life.

The Bills safety was discharged on January 9 and flew back to Buffalo to continue his recovery. His teammates also visited him five days later at Buffalo's training facility.

He spent days in the ICU, with the hospital's doctors noting that Hamlin was "neurologically intact."

Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on January 2 after he collided with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.

Higgins said that he would be happy to see Hamlin and expected to have a conversation with him to be "laughs and giggles."
