The nearly $5,000 in contributions donated so far started to come in after the Jaguars beat the Bengals’ rival, the Steelers, 45-42. “Fans are at the core of the football experience and it’s truly exciting and rewarding when they band together, regardless of the team they cheer for, to make a positive impact in the lives of others. I greatly appreciate the support displayed by Bengals fans and they should know their support will make a difference,” said Bortles, who helped lead the Jaguars to victory Sunday by throwing for 214 yards and a touchdown. Cincinnati sports radio host Mo Egger encouraged Bengals fans through his blog, Twitter page, and during his show Monday to, as he said, “pay it forward” and support the Bortles Foundation. Earlier this year, Buffalo Bills fans donated generously to the Bengals’ Andy Dalton Foundation after Cincinnati knocked off the Baltimore Ravens, clearing the way for the Bills’ first trip to the playoffs in 17 years. Established in 2016, the Blake Bortles Foundation supports first responders in Oviedo and Jacksonville, Florida, and partners with organizations in Jacksonville and Oviedo to help children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) lead pursue full, independent lives.

I'd be happy if those guys could show their appreciation by actually beating the Stealers themselves for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, how does the Jags defeating the Stealers help the Bengals. When the Bills fans donated to Dalton's foundation it made sense because they made the playoffs, I don't see how this benefits the Bengals. If anything this makes our fan base look weirdly obsessed with the Stealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
