The Unlikely Love Affair between Andy Dalton and Bills Fans Continues
Love is indeed blind, particularly in the NFL.
This theory is the only logical way to explain the complicated relationship between Andy Dalton and the entire Buffalo Bills fan base.
You may recall the immense solid that Dalton and his Cincinnati Bengals did for the Bills last season when they took out the Ravens with a small miracle.
For the uninitiated, here's the play in question:
This madness sent the Bills to the promised land for the first time since the early Renaissance, also creating a beautiful friendship between the Red Rifle and Bills fans that has now blossomed into love.
Along with being sloppy drunk, Bills Nation was also pretty excited.
They're a classy bunch, indeed.
But also rather appreciative, as Bills enthusiasts proceeded to donate an estimated $450,000 to Dalton's charitable foundation.
This prompted the Bengals QB to make a sizable donation of his own to a Cancer Center in Buffalo.
This is an undeniably cool story, and it's apparently still in progress, as Dalton paid a visit to the hospital while in town for an important pre-season game.
Thank you, Buffalo. #CINvsBUF@jjdalton5 and the @ajdfoundation stopped by @RoswellPark for a ribbon cutting ceremony for their donation of a technology hub (with a surprise appearance from @andydalton14).

At the game, emotional and still probably drunk Bills fans reciprocated.

This should give everyone a warm fuzzy, with the possible exception of John Harbaugh.
