Sam Hubbard fans supported his charity in droves this week following the defensive end's 98-yard touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens.
After Hubbard's historic play helped the Cincinnati Bengals win Sunday's wild-card round game, fans showed their appreciation by donating in increments of $98 or $9.80, a nod to his 98-yard dash, to the Sam Hubbard Foundation.
The foundation received 608 donations between Sunday night and Wednesday morning, collecting a total of $25,165, according to Kathrine Nero, director of media at Game Day Communications.

Hubbard, a two-time Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award nominee, launched his foundation in 2021 to help fight food insecurity in Greater Cincinnati. In October, he started Hubbard's Cupboards to provide students with back-to-school needs and healthy snacks.
The Bengals travel to Highmark Stadium on Sunday to play the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.
