Bills fans donate over $30K to Mark Andrews’ charity days after his Ravens drop

Bills Mafia is stepping up to the plate for Mark Andrews. 

The Ravens тιԍнт end, at the center of the team’s AFC divisional round loss to the Bills on Sunday after his key drop on a late two-point conversion, has seen his charity flooded with donations to — by Bills fans.

More than $38,000 has been raised for Breakthrough T1D, a charity organization that is helping find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes and aids those impacted by the disease, in honor of Andrews, who supports the charity and has Type 1 Diabetes.

Andrews has faced a wave of negativity following his drop that would have tied the score and in response, Bills fan Nicholas Howard set up the GoFundMe to support the charity the Ravens тιԍнт end has been linked to in the past. 

The original message on the page had hoped to raise at least $5,000. 

“As many of you know Ravens TE wasn’t able to catch the game-tying 2-point conversion and upset Ravens fans. On top of that the TE has been receiving death threats and nasty comments after his performance last night. We want Bills Mafia to donate to Marks charity for Juvenile diabetes,” the page read.

The show of generosity caught the attention of the Ravens, who showed appreciation in a post on X. 

The charity expressed appreciation in a statement to ESPN on Tuesday night. 

“Breakthrough T1D [formerly JDRF] greatly appreciates the generosity of the Buffalo Bills community and the many fans who were compelled to donate after Sunday’s game,” Breakthrough T1D said in a statement. “These donations will support research and advocacy on behalf of the 1.6 million Americans who, like Mark Andrews, live with type 1 diabetes.”

Andrews has not publically addressed the dropped catch since it happened, avoiding reporters following the game on Sunday and again on Monday. 

The gut-wrenching moment was featured as part of Tuesday’s episode of “Hard Knocks: In Season With the AFC North” and featured a moment where viewers could see the heartbreak that Andrews suffered in that moment. 

The HBO Cameras caught him sitting on the bench slamming his arm on the bench and moments before that, viewers saw Lamar Jackson trying to comfort Andrews on the sideline.

“I’m just as hurt as Mark. I don’t [think it’s] his fault,” Jackson said after the game. “Like, all of us played a factor in the game. It’s a team effort. Just not gonna put that on Mark, bro, because he’s been battling all season.

“He been doing all the great things he’s been doing all season. It don’t always go our way. We wanted to but at the wrong time it’s like it’s not going our way. We need to figure that out.”
