Bills fans create $60,000 charity fundraiser to support Ravens TE Mark Andrews
‘Over the last few days, the Bills fan community has come together to raise over $60,000 (at the time of writing) for Breakthrough T1D, a non-profit organization devoted to Type 1 diabetes research and advocacy and a charity that Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has supported in the past.’
Amari Cooper finds satisfaction with Bills, trading personal production for team success
‘“I’m very satisfied. I’ve never been this far in the playoffs,” Cooper said following practice Wednesday as the Bills prepare to play the top-seeded and two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.’
Bills fans raise nearly $80,000 for charitable cause of Ravens’ Andrews after dropped 2-point try
‘In a matter of 24 hours, Howard went from being in the stands, cheering the Bills to a 27-25 win over Baltimore in a divisional playoff on Sunday, to starting the fundraiser. He did so in response to Andrews being the focus of criticism, including receiving death threats, on social media in the aftermath of him losing a fumble and dropping a potential game-tying 2-point conversion with 1:33 left.’
How the Bills channeled the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick 'Patriot Way' on their way to AFC title game vs. Chiefs

Josh Allen Praises Bills Fans for Classy Gesture to Mark Andrews After Win vs. Ravens
‘“I think that speaks volumes of what Bills Mafia and Western New York’s all about,” Allen said in a Wednesday press conference. “I think time and time again they continue to show how awesome they are, and I think every fan base should be envious of what Bills Mafia has.

Amari Cooper Had Humble Quote On Role in Bills' Offense During Super Bowl Pursuit
‘”I’m very satisfied. I’ve never been this far in the playoffs. Obviously, every receiver wants to have 10, 20 catches a game, but that’s not always how the cookie crumbles and it’s not always the most beneficial thing for the team… Winning is obviously way more important and there’s many ways to win. We’re getting a job done, so absolutely no complaints from me, because that’s all I truly want,” said Cooper. “I’ve had it every other way and haven’t really reached the pinnacle of the sport how I would’ve liked.”‘
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen carries the weight of defeat with him every day

‘The team held a walk-through practice, so the official injury report is an estimation of what it would be if they held a normal, full practice.’
It was meant to be; Buffalo Bills prepare for AFC Championship rematch against Kansas City Chiefs
‘”Very talented team, a lot of speed on the field and it makes sense in terms of how Andy (Reid) has been able to lead that offense for a number of years,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. “For that team we’re about to play to have that level of success it’s incredible.”‘
