Hello and welcome from the Chris Wessling podcast studio.

It's around the NFL.

Our week 18 preview, a week in the NFL, unlike any we can remember, of course, with

Damar Hamlin and everything that continues to unfold

around the bill's safety.

Dan Hans is here.

Greg Rosenthal, Mark Zessler.

How are we doing, boys?

I think in higher spirits after watching that press conference from the University of Cincinnati.

Absolutely. Dr. Timothy Pritz and Dr. William Knight spoke with the media, gave us updates on where Hamlin stands, who of course suffered the cardiac arrest during Monday's game against the Bengals.

And we learned on Thursday that he has shown, quote, remarkable improvement over the past 24

hours. And this is huge as well, appears to be neurologically intact, according to the doctors.

Speaking of the doctors, one of the things we learned, Mark, was that Hamlin was responsive,

opening his eyes and even in writing form, asked if the

bills had won the game on Monday night, unaware, obviously, of everything that had transpired

after he went down on the field.

Here is what Dr. Pritz had to say.

To paraphrase, one of our partners, you know, when he asked, did we win, the answer is, yes, you know, Damari, you won, you've won the game of life. And that's probably the most important thing out of this. And we really need to keep him at the center of everything else that's going on. And we really want to ensure a good outcome for him. They also mentioned that, you know, he's shown the ability to move his hands and feet.

He's able to nod to respond to questions.

I mean, he's obviously not speaking verbally because he's, you know, under their care at this point.
