Classy Ravens Fans Return the Favor for Foes–After Bills Player Drops Ball in Heartbreaking Playoff Loss
The quality among Baltimore Ravens fans have donated to a GoFundMe to raise money for an autism charity supported by Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid, who just dropped a key pass that could have taken the franchise to the Super Bowl.
In a bizarre reversal of circumstances, the fundraiser mirrors what happened last week: when Bills fans set up a GoFundMe to raise money for a diabetes charity supported by Ravens tight end, Mark Andrews, who also dropped a key pass that may have taken his franchise to the Super Bowl.
Two tight ends, two missed passes, two class fan bases, two good causes: it’s quite the story.
Kincaid allowed a pass to slip between his body and arms in the Bills’ 32-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in a game that decided who would play the Philidelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Ravens Flock, a Baltimore supporter group that they would “return the favor.”
“As many of you know, Bills TE Dalton Kincaid made a phenomenal attempt to catch Josh Allen’s last pass of the season but couldn’t haul it in, upsetting a lot of Bills fans,” the Flock organizers wrote in their GoFundMe.
“We want Ravens Flock to donate to Summit Center for Autism, the charity Dalton works with, and try and return the favor Bills Mafia did for us and Mark Andrews. Let’s raise what we can, please repost!”

Bills Mafia is known for cheekily donating to charitable causes held dear by players on opposing teams that the Bills defeat, and managed to raise $147,000 for a charity supported by Ravens tight end Andrews, whose failed catch in the End Zone allowed the Bills to advance to play the Chiefs.
Andrews is a type-1 diabetic and regularly works with a charity working to find a cure called Breakthrough TD1, which was recently given this massive haul by the generous fan base from Buffalo.

At the time of writing, the Ravens Flock have put together $17,000 for Autism work, just $3,000 shy of the $20k goal.
It’s a lovely demonstration of how Buffalo might triumph over Baltimore, and Kansas City might triumph over Buffalo, but at the end of the day, though we come from different cities and wear different colored toques, scarves, and jerseys, we all live in the same society and face the same challenges.
