"To go out there and play for her and do it in her honor while my family was all together watching, I don't think it could have been a better tribute," he said. "She was a huge Bills fan. I called my family right after the game and just started balling, and they were crying too.
"[My parents] said, 'She's got the best seat in the house,' her and Papa do. It was pretty surreal. It was a special moment for myself and my family."
Stefon Diggs said Allen's composure and selflessness were par for the course from the quarterback.
"I've dealt with loss," Diggs said. "I felt for him after the game because people didn't know about it. Not too many people knew about it. He's one of the guys that we call our leaders. He leads us. In a moment like that, damn sure he probably wasn't in the best place, but he put his best foot forward on game day. You've got to respect that as a man, as a teammate, as a brother."
As for Bills Mafia, Diggs said the donations were further proof that the Buffalo fanbase is one of a kind. The receiver has become more and more aware of the relationship between the team and its fans despite not yet having been able to play in front of them.
Allen, on the other hand, knows as well as anyone what it's like to play in front of a full crowd inside Bills Stadium. He intends to keep doing so for a long time.
"I know my family is forever ingrained here, myself included," he said. "I don't ever want to leave, obviously. I want to play here for as long as I can and give back to the community and give back to the Bills Mafia here."
