Buffalo Bills Fanbase Rises to Support Ravens' Mark Andrews Following Tough Game
In a heartwarming gesture, Bills fans contribute to charity in honor of Ravens' tight end after a pivotal game.
Following a disappointing game where Ravens tight end Mark Andrews dropped a crucial pass, his charity dedicated to helping juveniles with diabetes received thousands in donations from Bills fans. Originally aiming to raise $5,000 through a GoFundMe campaign, the endeavor has now garnered nearly $40,000.
Support from the Ravens
The Ravens officially expressed gratitude towards the Bills Mafia, acknowledging their generous donations. They tweeted:
“Shout out to Bills Mafia for showing support to our guy Mark Andrews and donating to the @BreakthroughT1D organization,聽which works towards curing and improving the lives of those dealing with Type 1 diabetes. 馃挏https://t.co/tQfjchcmOx”
This follows a tough loss for Andrews, highlighted by his costly fumble and missed opportunities in the face of a Buffalo Bills victory, which ended their playoff run.
Community Spirit
Andrews has received overwhelming support from both teammates and fans alike. Lamar Jackson, the Ravens’ quarterback, empathized with Andrews, asserting:
“I’m just as hurt as Mark. [It鈥檚 not] his fault鈥攚e all played a factor in that game.”
This impeccable support mirrors past moments when Bills fans similarly rallied to support players from opposing teams during difficult times, such as their $250,000 donation to Andy Dalton’s foundation after a critical game in 2018.
