Buffalo Bills fans rallied around Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews after a critical drop in the AFC divisional round ended the team’s Super Bowl hopes. In return, Baltimore fans are showing support for Andrews and his charity, Breakthrough T1D, which aims to support children with diabetes.
A GoFundMe campaign was created to support Andrews’ charity and has raised over $140,000 through more than 4,000 donations. Bills fans donated to the cause and shared messages of support, with one message reading, “Donated from Bills Mafia, we’ve been there. Keep your head up, you’re an amazing player and you caught so many to get your team to get close in this game. Move on and continue to do all your good works.”
However, after the Bills’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, Buffalo tight end Dalton Kincaid found himself in a similar situation. On fourth down with the Bills trailing by three late in the fourth quarter, Josh Allen’s pass fell through Kincaid’s hands, effectively ending the team’s playoff run.
Ravens fans saw the opportunity to return the favor and created a GoFundMe campaign to donate to the Summit Center for autism, the charity Kincaid works with. As of Tuesday, more than 400 donations have been made, totaling over $13,000.
