During the Bengals‘ recent matchup against the Ravens, their star QB, Joe Burrow, sustained a season-ending injury with a torn ligament in his right wrist. The Bungles’ biggest conference rival fan base, the Chiefs Nation, was hit with the injury pretty hard, as Burrow won’t be able to lead his team to the AFC conference championship for the third consecutive year against the defending champs.

Fans took a classy way to show their love and support for the sidelined QB. The ‘Chiefs Kingdom Memes‘ fan page took to X (formerly Twitter) to promote the Joe Burrow Hunger Relief Fund. They urged the fanbase to join hands and extend their support toward the charity.
The page requested fans to donate exactly $9, symbolizing Joe Burrow‘s jersey number. They also mentioned how the thrilling rivalry between the Chiefs and the Bengals has been nothing short of applaud-worthy, crediting Burrow, who took it to new heights. The post said,
“Get well soon Joe Burrow!“

The ‘meme’ page also noted that this initiative was previously taken by a Bills fan page and requested no credit for the campaign. Several Chiefs fans took to the comments, highlighting that they did their part by donating $9 to the charity.
Put in my $9. As a @Chiefs fan, even though we are rivals, you never want to see an elite guy like Burrow go down like this. Get healed up quick!

The Joe Burrow Hunger Relief Fund took the spotlight back in 2019 after the star QB’s heartfelt Heisman Trophy speech about food insecurity. It gathered $350000 in contributions, which were later matched dollar-for-dollar by the foundation to reach a total of $700000. Athens, reportedly the most food-insecure area in Ohio, greatly benefited from this initiative.
