Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton wasn’t too pleased with the staff deciding to bench him, on his birthday no less. He noted his agent then sought a trade before Tuesday’s deadline.
But there is a ray of light within the otherwise dark week for Dalton — a grassroots campaign to make $14 donations to his non-profit Andy and JJ Dalton Foundation has caught fire.
Director Amy Floyd said more than 90 percent of the small flood of donations have come in at the $14 mark, according to Jeremiah Kirven of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
This is reminiscent of 2018 when Buffalo Bills fans flooded the foundation with donations after Dalton helped push the Bills to the playoffs.
