Timing plays a significant role in life, and for Damar Hamlin, he found himself in an unfortunate moment.
Damar Hamlin returned to Cincinnati nearly a year after a life-threatening incident on the field. NBC captured the Buffalo Bills’ defensive back on the sideline during Sunday night’s game, even though he was inactive for the match but had traveled with his teammates. Unfortunately, the Bills ended up losing to the Bengals on Sunday Night Football.
As NBC’s cameras focused on Hamlin on the sideline, they caught him in an awkward situation.

Viewers were taken aback as they witnessed the commentators, Collinsworth and Tirico, adopting a solemn tone to discuss Damar Hamlin’s injury while the live sideline camera captured him picking his teeth and even consuming the removed fragment.
Some NFL fans found it amusing.
“Did they really have to show Damar Hamlin picking his teeth with his finger and eating it while they were talking about him? ?,” remarked one fan.
“Damar Hamlin picking his teeth and eating it. Weird choice, NBC,” another fan commented.
“COLLINSWORTH: ‘He’s an inspiration to us all.’ DAMAR HAMLIN, SUPERIMPOSED BEHIND HIM: picking teeth, looks at it, goes back to picking teeth,” one fan humorously noted.
“The fact that they just put live footage of Damar Hamlin picking food out of his teeth and eating it behind the announcers kills me,” another fan added.
It was an unfortunate and somewhat embarrassing moment, but in the grand scheme of things, it was an emotionally charged return to Cincinnati for Hamlin. Many felt that Damar Hamlin deserved better treatment.
