The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have donated $10,000 to an Oklahoma family after 18-year-old Baker Mayfield fan, Connor Barba, was tragically killed in a car accident on the way to the game. 

Barba and his mother, Megan Barnett, were traveling over the weekend to Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Bucs take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The mother-son trip was meant to celebrate Barba’s upcoming birthday.
