Wow, #BillsMafia and @BuffaloBills fans. Over 11,200 donations were made today in honor of @Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, totaling $290,000 to feed kids on the weekends! https://t.co/tRqcNTQLXJ

The generosity comes after the Buffalo Bills defeated Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens 17-3 in the AFC Divisional Round. Jackson left the game in the third quarter after suffering a concussion. 

Several Bills fans determined they should pay it forward by honoring a charity Jackson has supported:

It has become a tradition for Buffalo fans to donate in support of various players, including notably Andy Dalton after he helped the Bills reach the playoffs in 2018.

Blessings in a Backpack works to provide meals to kids who are often reliant on food from school. The organization gives food to them on the weekends, with $130 providing meals for one student throughout a 38-week school year.

The more than 11,000 donations from Bills fans will certainly help a lot of children in need.

Jackson had worked with the Louisville chapter of the organization since he was in college, donating $25,000 made from autographs in 2018.
