Damar Hamlin announced before the game that he would be watching the Buffalo Bills playoff game from home.

While Hamlin has made incredible progress, his road to recovery is still long. While Bills Mafia would have loved to see Hamlin on the field, his health is the most important thing right now.

Hamlin wasn't able to show up to Orchard Park but made his presence known throughout the game.

Hamlin was cheering on his teammates through social media, highlighting big plays and celebrating the success the team saw throughout the contest.

Immediately after the game, Hamlin sent a direct message to Bills Mafia. While the message was simple, it was powerful.

The entire world has been keeping up on the Damar Hamlin injury updates since his traumatic injury on Monday Night Football.

Hamlin is back in Buffalo with his family and was discharged from the hospital, a marked improvement and yet another incredible update on his road to recovery.

Surely, just seeing Hamlin on social media, and cheering on the team will give the Bills a much-needed morale boost.

The talented safety hasn't ruled out making an appearance during the next Bills playoff game. If number three were to make it onto the field, the Bills Mafia would surely erupt in the stands.

While it wasn't pretty, Buffalo advanced in the postseason and will be eagerly awaiting their upcoming opponent.

If Cincinnati is able to secure the victory over the Ravens, it would be a storybook rematch and quite the moment if Hamlin were able to make it back to the stands.

For now, Buffalo is going to sit back and enjoy the victory before moving on to their next opponent.

Bills Mafia, you can breathe. At least for a few days.
