Bills fans have been partying like it is 1999 ever since Dalton threw his YOLO 4th down TD pass to beat the Ravens and send the Bills to the playoffs.
They are already sending wings, but now they are doing something even cooler.
A spike in donations to the Andy and Jordan Dalton Foundation came from the most unlikely source on Monday morning.
Dalton’s 49-yard touchdown throw to Tyler Boyd in a fourth-and-12 situation on Sunday night not only sealed a win against the Ravens to knock them out of the playoffs, but it also secured the Bills first playoff berth since 1999.
Fans in Buffalo were understandably thrilled, and they wanted to let Dalton know it. While the Bills organization promised to send the Bengals Buffalo wings, the fans decided to donate to Dalton’s cause.
“I think I’m the hottest guy in Buffalo right now,” Dalton joked to the media on Monday. “According to my Twitter, I think everybody’s loving us right now. Obviously that’s a crazy fan base, and they’re all pretty excited.”
Dalton pulled out his phone to check the numbers on donations to his foundation, noting that most of them were in $17 increments. He thought about it for a moment, then he realized why.
The $17 dollars represent the 17 seasons between playoff berths for the Bills.
Nice job Bills Mafia.
