chongli Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) In the 55TH ANNUAL PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME PHOTO CONTEST (2022 SEASON) released a few days ago, Dylan Buel won first place and the Dave Boss Award of Excellence, 2022 (Photo of the Year) for his pic of the Buffalo Bills in the game at Cincinnati, named "Comfort", featuring Tre'Davious White and Mitch Morse. The Bills were also shown in an honorable mention photo in the action category (shown at the end here). There were three winners in two categories ("Feature" and Action"), plus seven honorable mentions in both categories. [I put the three winners in both categories here. But for the honorable mention pics, go to the link: https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2023/top-photos-of-2022-nfl-season-revealed-in-pro-football-hall-of-fame’s-annual-contest/ (TBH, I think a lot of the honorable mention pics were better than some of the winners.) Feature category: First Place – Dylan Buell, Getty Images, “Comfort,” Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals, Jan. 2, 2023 Dave Boss Award of Excellence, 2022 (Photo of the Year): Short excerpt: "The tense, chaotic and angst-filled moments following the collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin on the playing field in Cincinnati fueled the raw emotion captured in the Photograph of the Year for the 2022 National Football League season. Dylan Buell, a photographer for Getty Images, submitted “Comfort” in the 55th annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Photo Contest, and a panel of judges has declared it the winner of the Dave Boss Award of Excellence. “Comfort” shows Bills center Mitch Morse embracing cornerback Tre'Davious White a short distance from the spot where training staff and medical officials were providing Hamlin with life-saving aid. The game, at Paycor Stadium on Jan. 2, 2023, was canceled following the near-fatal incident. “When reviewing a historic night like this, it can be difficult to choose just one photo from the event,” Buell said after learning he was this year’s Dave Boss Award of Excellence winner. “However, it wasn’t long before this photo in particular stood out to me. The action is subtle, but speaks volumes about both the relationship between these two players and their bond with their teammate.”" Second Place – Sarah Snyder, New York Jets, “On the Cusp,” Buffalo Bills at New York Jets, Nov. 6, 2022: Third Place – Jeffrey Nguyen, Detroit Lions, “Mark of a Lion,” Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions, Jan. 1, 2023: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Action category: First Place – Brennan Asplen, Miami Dolphins, “When Worlds Collide,” Miami Dolphins at Detroit Lions, Oct. 30, 2022: Second Place – David Richard, Freelance/Associated Press, “Finger Pickens Good,” Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns, Sept. 22, 2022: Third Place – Brad Rempel, USA Today, “Jefferson Dive,” Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings, Oct. 9, 2022: Honorable Mention – Ryan Meyer, Cincinnati Bengals, “White Out,” Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills, Jan. 22, 2023: Edited June 3, 2023 by chongli 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
