‘As for why Hamlin wasn’t particularly public, Bills center Mitch Morse explained by addressing his personality. “Just his presence I think speaks volumes,” Morse said, per ESPN. “… He’s not a big rah-rah guy and I’m sure that at some point he’s a little bit exhausted of people asking how he’s doing or put in a position that he didn’t ask to be put in.

‘”We got beat on the football field, and sometimes your energy is taken from you when the game’s not going your way and they’re having their way, the other team,” said McDermott during his end-of-season press conference on Monday. “We were playing from behind early, and we had a hard time catching up.
