Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin is awake in a Cincinnati hospital, is neurologically sound and is moving his hands and feet, doctors said Thursday, news that has drawn relief and joy from supporters nationwide days after the 24-year-old’s in-game cardiac arrest.

And his first question upon awakening?

“Did we win?” Hamlin scribbled on a clipboard, according to Dr. Timothy Pritts, vice chair for clinical operations at UC Health.

“Yes, Damar, you won. You’ve won the game of life,” Pritts said at a news conference in Cincinnati Thursday afternoon, paraphrasing the response of one of his medical partners.

Hamlin remains on a ventilator, and has been communicating with yes and no answers by shaking his head, nodding or writing brief notes, according to Pritts.

“So, we know that it’s not only that the lights are on, we know that he’s home. And that it appears all cylinders are firing within his brain,” Pritts said.

Having a capable medical crew right there to get on the scene immediately didn’t hurt.

Having a capable medical crew right there to get on the scene immediately didn’t hurt.

Probably the predominant reason he's even alive, much less seemingly flourishing.

Now that we know how well the medical staffs responded, it's actually impressive - especially considering how rare this sort of emergency is.

Kudos to all involved!

It's almost as if appropriately trained medical personnel operating in their field of expertise and current in their training know what they're doing, but I'm certain those who claim to know more could have prevented it from ever happening.

Hey if there are people on this website that know how to coach better than a seven time national champion, why can’t people Not in the medical field know more than doctors?

And just think: one of these has life and death attached to the decisions’, though. I love Coach Saban, but I doubt he’s saved a single life through medical decision making.

He saved mine. I was dying a slow, agonizing death with Shula.
