Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott was moved to tears during a press conference alongside quarterback Josh Allen while touching on the support Damar Hamlin has received in the wake of his in-game injury.

During the conference, McDermott deflected questions about himself. At one point during the conference, after being asked about how Hamlin’s injury has affected his mental health, McDermott underlined his desire to focus on the health of Hamlin, Hamlin’s family and his fellow players. “Again, this isn’t about me. I’m human, just like anybody else.
