For Tyler Bass and the Buffalo Bills, you couldn’t have asked for a worse way to end your season. While there are ebbs and flows to an NFL football game that ultimately decides an outcome more than just one singular missed kick, it still stings if you are Bass, and the moment feels like it comes down to you and your missed opportunity.
There have been moments of negativity surrounding Bass since the missed kick. And while everyone agrees that it’s not right in any way, there has been some good that has come out of this situation that can be viewed as a positive taken from all of the negatives he has endured since the final whistle blew on Sunday.
NFL Fans Donate Over $50,000 to Ten Lives Club in Honor of Tyler Bass
Bass has faced harassment and death threats since Sunday, so much so that he has shut down his social media to get away from the toxic noise.
However, there are still good people in this world, and they came together to show support for the kicker and a cause that is near and dear to his heart.
Bass has aligned with Ten Lives Club, a charity with a focus on cat adoptions and finding homes for felines, an organization that he has taken great pride in being a part of.

Despite the harsh words, Bills Mafia and Chiefs fans alike have come together to make a positive mark on the situation. They’ve since donated over $50,000 to the cause in increments of $22 in honor of Bass’s No. 2 jersey number.
“We’ve never received this much in a day ever,” said a Ten Lives Club spokesperson.
A true good-hearted situation that has turned a once nasty moment and a black eye on the fans that would say such nasty things to Bass and his teammates following the loss, has now turned into a great story that will benefit a great cause.
Bass may not have made the kick on Sunday to advance his team into the AFC Championship Game, but what ended up happening as a result, galvanized a player and a team’s fans to come together to do something awesome for the greater good of pets loved everywhere.
