BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — 12 Bills fans are going to the postseason game in Houston for free thanks to the generosity of multiple fans.
It all started when Charlotte-based Bills die-hard Leshawn Jerman tweeted he spent $2,200 on eight endzone tickets to the game in Houston. Two were for himself, but he said he would donate six tickets to fans who retweeted him.
I’m a man of my word! I just went crazy and purchased 8 tickets in the end zone😳. I will give away 6 tickets. Retweet this and I will pick 3 winners that way you can bring someone with you. I will pick 20 finalist on Thursday at 4pm and 3 winners Thursday at 5pm. Lets go Buffalo https://t.co/PxtAdQX4Zn

That's when things took a turn. Fan favorite former wide receiver Stevie Johnson reimbursed Jerman for all eight tickets.
Then, two other fans stepped up to donate six more tickets for Jerman to give away.
This is getting insane! Check this out. @ToddJClausen just sent me over 2 more tickets to bring his total up to 4 and @NateMendelson was kind enough to purchase 2 tickets just to give them away. You gotta love it! Now I have my 6 plus another 6 to give away. It’s almost time❗️ pic.twitter.com/3fRFNPLX3f

I can't believe it!

All fans who won will have to find their own way to Houston. Most of them tweeted they booked flights after learning the news.
This isn't Jerman's first big-hearted act towards fellow fans. In 2019, he gave away season tickets on Twitter.
