Bills' Damar Hamlin, Cardinals' James Conner exchange jerseys post game

There was a very appropriate jersey exchange following the final whistle of the Buffalo Bills' season-opening win against the Arizona Cardinals.

In a meeting near the middle of the field at Highmark Stadium after the 34-28 final, Bills safety Damar Hamlin and Cardinals running back James Conner exchanged jerseys.

It's a longtime tradition in sports, but with these two, it felt right.

Both players attended the University of Pittsburgh. More than that, they've overcome life-threating battles.

In Buffalo, everyone is well aware of Hamlin's scary cardiac arrest during a game. Years prior, Conner was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma back in 2015.

In a fantastic sight, both continued to live out their NFL dreams in Orchard Park on Sunday.
