Bills Fans Show Massive Support to Dawson Knox with Charity Donation Following Brother’s Tragic Death

Fans of the Buffalo Bills are showing incredible support for tight end Dawson Knox following the tragic passing of his brother, Luke. The Florida International linebacker was 22 years old.

Bills fans showed their support by donating to P.U.N.T., a pediatric cancer organization close to the Knox family. Fans donated $16.88, in honor of both players’ jersey numbers.

Per TMZ Sports, the organization revealed it received nearly $100,000 in donations. That amount came in since Thursday, according to the organization.
