Tee Higgins wants to meet Damar Hamlin, reveals what he'll do if he sees Bills star

Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins spoke about what he would do if he met Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin when the teams meet in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs in Buffalo.

The last time the Bengals and Bills faced off was in Week 17 in Cincinnati. In the first quarter of that game, Hamlin ran into Higgins after a play. When Hamlin got up, he collapsed back onto the field.

The Bills safety suffered a cardiac arrest and was given medical attention, including CPR by Bills trainer Denny Kellington.

"I'm pretty sure we just gonna chop it up, laugh and giggles," Higgins said. "Just gonna be happy to see him."

Damar Hamlin was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after being taken off the field in an ambulance.
