TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have donated $10,000 to the family involved in a car accident on their way to the Bucs' Nov. 4 Monday Night Football game at the Kansas City Chiefs. The accident killed Connor Barba, 18, of Norman, Oklahoma, and seriously injured his mother, Megan Barnett.
Barnett surprised her son with tickets ahead of his birthday so he could see his favorite player, Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield, who said through a Bucs spokesperson that he and his wife Emily plan to reach out to the family.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to Megan and her family as they deal with this heartbreaking loss," Mayfield said in a statement.
