What started as a joke soon turned into a generous cause. The Bills fans blamed the officials calling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ match for the loss. The Bills lost 33-27 in overtime. They started donating to a non-profit organization that helps people with vision loss. The fans did this to mock the referee and call him blind. Most of the donations were $17. It was a tribute to their quarterback, Josh Allen. 

News 4 Buffalo reported that over $20,000 has been donated in $17 increments. They recorded this number only until Wednesday afternoon. The donations keep on coming, and the final amount will be significantly higher. Even though it started as a way to mock the officials, this amount will change the lives of many people.
