‘The reaction of the Bills’ players was raw and wrenching. Football players always say the only guarantee is “a 100% chance of being injured.” Games have continued after players were immobilized and stretchered off. A prime example of that came in Week 2 against Tennessee, when Bills cornerback Dane Jackson’s neck was bent back during a play and he was transported to the hospital.

‘Virtually everyone, everywhere, is pulling for the same guy, the same result, the same perseverance and thrill of victory. The outpouring of emotion, generosity, and clarity of purpose has been remarkable – from players, media and fandoms of every city and every team.’
