JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Beating the Pittsburgh Steelers has paid off for Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles in more ways than one.
Cincinnati Bengals fans have been donating money to the Blake Bortles Foundation as a way to say "thank you" for the Jaguars' 45-42 win last Sunday, which knocked one of the Bengals' biggest rivals out of the playoffs. According to the Blake Bortles Foundation, more than 100 fans have donated close to $5,000 since the game ended.
"Fans are at the core of the football experience and it's truly exciting and rewarding when they band together, regardless of the team they cheer for, to make a positive impact in the lives of others," Bortles said in a statement.
