Damar Hamlin's life and career almost ended on Monday Night Football in 2023.

The Buffalo Bills safety made his first career interception on Monday Night Football more than a year and a half later.

Hamlin picked off Trevor Lawrence in the second quarter as the Bills continued to rout the Jacksonville Jaguars, sending the players and fans Highmark Stadium into a frenzy. Lawrence overthrew Brian Thomas Jr. and Hamlin dropped to a knee to bring in the interception. He returned it 19 yards to the Jaguars' 19-yard line.

Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field when the Bills played on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2, 2023.

Hamlin has started all three games for the Bills this season. He recorded 10 tackles in a Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins.

"That's amazing," Sean McDermott told ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge at halftime. "Damar has been amazing. What a journey he's been on."

What happened to Damar Hamlin?

Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field due to cardiac arrest caused by commotio cordis while tackling Cincinnati's Tee Higgins on Monday Night Football.

First responders administered CPR and used an automated external defibrillator to restore Hamlin's heartbeat as he lied on the turf at Paycor Stadium. Hamlin was given oxygen as he was loaded into an ambulance and he was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was in critical condition.

He was alert two days later and asked doctors who won the game. Hamlin was released from the hospital on Jan. 9, 2023, and was medically cleared by doctors to resume on-field activities in April 2023.

Hamlin made the Bills' 53-man roster in 2023 and played in five games, making two tackles.
