Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley pushed through an NFL game just two days after his brother Jabari Henley was shot and killed.

“Right now, I’m just floating, and the only thing that’s consistent right now in my life — and this is crazy to say — is football,” Daiyan, 25, told reporters on Sunday, November 2, after helping his team beat the Tennessee Titans, 27-20. “For me, that’s why I’m out there because this is the most consistent thing I’ve got in my life right now is football. And I’m just trying to make the most of it.”

While playing at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, Daiyan impressed Chargers fans with seven tackles, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit.

After collecting a sack, Daiyan appeared to drop to his knees on the field in prayer.
