It’s a crucial game for the New England Patriots today, who are holding on to playoff hopes. But it’ll be an emotionally-charged one for the Bills. The game will be played in Buffalo today and our photographers snapped this photo of the special redesign of the number 3 on the 30 yard line to pay tribute to Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Fortunately Damar has shown lots of improvement this week since that terrifying collapse on Monday Night Football.
