Damar Hamlin’s presence at Bills-Bengals game sparks body double conspiracy theories

Damar Hamlin‘s fans were super excited when the safety attended the Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals playoff game on Sunday and made a heart gesture. However, some people on the Internet now are coming up with conspiracy theories saying that a body double was used in the 24-year-old safety’s place.

Hamlin collapsed on the field the last time the two sides met. Three weeks after the incident, the 24-year-old is recovering and came for the divisional game at the Highmark Stadium. Hamlin, wearing a mask, hoodie, and sunglasses, was shown on television and the stadium scoreboard as he gestured to his fans. However, it was hard to catch a glimpse of Hamlin’s face because of the bad weather in Buffalo.
