Buffalo Bills offensive linemen Jeremiah Sirles and Spencer Long were eating lunch Monday with Sirles' wife, Emma, when the former Nebraska Cornhuskers teammates decided they needed needed to take action.
Flooding that Nebraska's governor called "the most widespread destruction we have ever seen in our state's history" had caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to farms, displaced families and destroyed property.
No longer wanting to remain spectators to the natural disaster occurring worst in the northern part of the state, Sirles and Long have organized a dinner for Thursday night in Schuyler, Nebraska that will provide relief to both first responders and those affected in hard-hit Colfax county.
