Buffalo Bills Gift Super Bowl Tickets To Man Who Broke Into School To Save Lives

Around Christmas of 2022, a historic blizzard devastated parts of New York. Areas like Buffalo were hit particularly hard and many people were unprepared for the storm.

Citizens stepped up, like a barber who opened his shop to the public and McDonald's employees who opened the restaurant as a shelter.

Among the citizens who became life-saving heroes was 27-year-old Jay Withey.

According to FOX 6, Withey was trying to drive to help someone who was stuck in the snow when he became stuck himself - and he wasn't alone. He noticed other strangers trapped around him in cars and he knew they risked freezing to death or dying of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Staying outside simply wasn't an option so Withey led everyone to a school and broke the window to get inside. He saved over a dozen lives that night and was hailed a hero.

To show their appreciation, the Buffalo Bills offered Withey tickets to the Super Bowl! They shared the news on Twitter.
