The Buffalo Bills’ fanbase has yet again helped bring some light to a negative situation.
More News: Mike McDaniel Provides Latest Update on Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins’ Plan at Quarterback
Following the scary injury to Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa that led to his third concussion since 2022, “Bills Mafia” donated to the signal-caller’s charity.
The Tua Foundation revealed the charity has received over $16,000 in donations since the Thursday Night Football scare, per Good Morning Football.

In Thursday’s Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Tagovailoa sustained a concussion in the third quarter of the game. Tagovailoa scampered toward the end zone in an attempt to secure a first down but rushed head-first into the chest of Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Players immediately took a knee as a result of the scary incident, indicating the severity of the situation.
Bills fans donated to the Miami signal caller’s charity in December 2022 following Tagovailoa’s second concussion of his career.
The “Bills Mafia” also donated to the charity of Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2023. Furthermore, in 2017, the Buffalo fanbase raised over $400,000 for Andy Dalton’s foundation after he sent the Bills to the playoffs as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tagovailoa is the latest NFL player to receive a generous donation from the “Bills Mafia.”
Buffalo’s 31-10 win over the Dolphins is merely an afterthought in light of Miami’s present situation.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel gave the latest update on Tagovailoa.
“First and foremost, I’m not assessing the injury through the lens of, ‘Alright, so what does this mean for him playing?'” McDaniel said. “Really, for me, I know the facts are that it’s important that he gets healthy day by day, and in that, the best thing I can do is not try to assess what this even means from a football standpoint.”

“I don’t see how (Tua) would play in the next game,” McDaniel continued. “I don’t see it — but who am I to know or judge? … But again, I have no idea and I’m not all of a sudden going to start making decisions. I don’t even see myself involved in the most important part of (making that decision).”
The Week 2 incident was a major setback for the Dolphins. Tagovailoa is at a crossroads in his career. He can either keep playing and risk another concussion, or he can hang up his jersey.
