Fan-favorite Buffalo Bills linebacker Joe Andreessen was fined by the NFL for a Week 8 hit, so Ryan Fitzpatrick came to the rescue.
It’s never ideal to hear that an NFL player was fined for a questionable offense, but the story hits a bit closer to home with regard to Buffalo Bills linebacker Joe Andreessen.
It was an unbelievable story, and fans, thus, have taken a fast liking to the hometown kid. There's a bevy of players above him on the depth chart at linebacker, and Andreessen, thus, has only been active for four games thus far this year; he made the most of his scant opportunities during his most recent appearance, however, making an impressive tackle on Seattle Seahawks returner Laviska Shenault on one of his 16 special teams snaps in Week 8.
Bills fans were, understandably, a bit peeved at news of Andreessen’s fine, with one, in particular, offering to pay the fee on behalf of the fan-favorite linebacker. It just so happens that said supporter started 53 games for the team at quarterback from 2009–2012.
