Early in the season, the Bills suffered a great deal of injuries.

Damien Harris had one of the more frightening injuries. According to GH records, Harris needed to be removed off the field by paramedics in Week 6 due to a neck injury:
In Sunday’s game, offseason addition and former Alabama Crimson Tide star Damien Harris sustained a neck injury that required him to be taken off the field while the NFL community gasped in unison.

“FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, PLAYING THE GAME OF FOOTBALL HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST
PRIVILEGES IN MY LIFE. GETTING TO REPRESENT THE NAME ON THE BACK OF MY JERSEY ON AND OFF THE FIELD, GETTING TO COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL WITH AND AGAINST THE BEST COMPETITORS WHILE WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS, AND BEING COACHED BY THE 2 GREATEST HEAD COACHES OF ALL TIME IN NICK SABAN AND BILL BELICHICK ARE ALL JUST A SMALL PART OF WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN MY LIFE WITH THE GAME OF FOOTBALL.”
The things that mean the most to me are the people I’ve met, the places I’ve been and will continue to go, the experiences and memories I’ve created, and the impact I’ve been able to make thus far. “The Quality of Being Thankful; Readiness to Show Appreciation for and to Return Kindness” is the definition of gratitude. I’m thankful that I had the strength to leave the game that I adore so much today.
