NFL QBs Team Up, Give Big Donations To Hurricane Helene Relief

Kirk Cousins and Baker Mayfield will be dueling Thursday night in primetime. Before taking the field, both QBs united for a positive cause: to help the people in North Carolina facing the destruction of Hurricane Helene.

Cousins and Mayfield pledged to donate $50,000 each to the humanitarian cause, headed by Team Rubicon. 

The two QBs shared a video message proclaiming their support for the people suffering in western North Carolina.

"We stand with those who have been affected," Mayfield said, relayed by TMZ Sports. 

The Category 4 storm that started tearing through Appalachia on September 26, with ongoing damage, produced winds of more than 100 MPH, heavy rain, and flash flooding.
