Bills fans raise over $60K for diabetes research to support Ravens player who dropped crucial pass

Buffalo Bills fans may be known for eccentric antics, but instead of jumping on tables this week, they’ve banded together to jump to the support of an opposing player after he was subjected to a wave of online hate.

During the , Baltimore tight end Mark Andrews fumbled and then dropped a two-point conversion that would have tied the game in the fourth quarter. Ultimately, the Bills won 27-25 and will be facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday for the AFC Championship Game.

Andrews appeared heartbroken after the loss and video showed Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson consoling him after the game.

“We’re a team,” Jackson said. “It’s all of us, bruh, it ain’t just you.”

Both Jackson and Head Coach John Harbaugh following the loss. Jackson reminded reporters that he was the cause of two turnovers in the first half and added that Andrews had been “battling all season.”

Harbaugh described Andrews as a tough, high-character person, who he was confident would handle the scrutiny well. The coach added that he was proud of Andrews the same way he was of every player.

“There’s nobody that has more heart, and cares more, and fights more than Mark,” Harbaugh said. “We wouldn’t be here without Mark Andrews.”

But Ravens fans expressed their anger anyway, flooding Andrews’ Instagram account with resentful comments. His last post was for National Diabetes Awareness Month in November, where Andrews discussed the continuous glucose monitoring system he uses to treat his Type 1 diabetes.

People called for his contract to be canceled in the comment section, with some calling him a “disappointment” and others implying they’d physically assault Andrews if they saw him. There were also supportive fans in the comments, encouraging Andrews to keep his head up.
