Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin celebrated his team's Wild Card win against the Miami Dolphins from his home in Orchard Park, N.Y., on Sunday. Buffalo survived a furious effort from underdog Miami to hold on for a 34-31 win at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.

Hamlin tweeted a simple reaction following the team's win: "W."
Hamlin was transferred from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to a Buffalo-area medical center more than a week after he suffered cardiac arrest on the field during Monday Night Football on Jan. 2. On Monday, he was released from the hospital.
"My heart is with my guys as they compete today! Supporting from home as I focus on my recovery. Nothing I want more than to be out there with them! LFG ❤️ #BillsMafia" he tweeted.
Following Hamlin's medical emergency during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the NFL held numerous league-wide tributes during its week 18 games. Players wore Hamlin's No. 3 on their uniforms, the no. 3 was highlighted on yardline markers on all NFL fields and games were preceded with various acknowledgements of the 24-year-old.
On Saturday, Hamlin attended Bills practice, according to Brooke Kromer, daughter of offensive line coach Aaron Kromer.
"He was at practice & the guys were all in great spirits! Bills by a million! No word on tomorrow," she wrote on Twitter.
The Bills took a two-score lead early Sunday, but the Dolphins stormed back in the closing minutes of the first half to trail by 3 points at the break. The Bills had a 10-point lead at one point in the fourth quarter and again the Dolphins cut the lead to 3.
Ultimately the Dolphins' issues with managing the play clock would cost them late, pushing the offense from a short yardage situation to fourth-and-long which it was unable to convert.
Josh Allen threw for 352 yards and 3 touchdowns in the win.
Buffalo awaits the results of Sunday's game between Baltimore and Cincinnati to learn who it will face in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
