Kirk Cousins of the Falcons and Baker Mayfield of the Buccaneers put their rivalry aside to help those affected by Hurricane Helene

They may be division rivals set to face off in Week 5 on “Thursday Night Football,” but Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield have put their NFL differences aside to become one to help common cause.

Cousins and Mayfield announced that they will each donate $50,000 to Team Rubicon to help victims of Hurricane Helene, which affected their respective fan bases in the southeastern United States.

“After Hurricane Helene, countless lives across the southeastern United States were profoundly impacted. The destruction was severe and many families struggled to find shelter and essentials,” Mayfield said in a video posted by Team Rubicon on X Veteran-run humanitarian organization that helps communities during disasters and crises.

“That’s why Kirk and I are joining forces and donating $50,000 each to support Team Rubicon.”

Cousins added, “(Team Rubicon has) volunteers who are on the front lines, getting their hands dirty and committed to doing all the work needed to clean up.”

“We are donating and would encourage all of you to donate what you can.”

Mayfield and Cousins are among many who have committed money to hurricane cleanup, including Mayfield's boss, Buccaneers owner Jay Glazer, who donated $1 million to help local nonprofits provide relief to those affected by the hurricane to help in the Tampa Bay area.

The Buccaneers played their scheduled game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay last week, and Mayfield delivered a resounding 33-16 win for the team.

The storm's death toll in Georgia rose to 33 on Thursday, with damage totaling $417 million.

Thursday night's game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where both fan bases can get along well.

“We stand with those affected and honor the lives lost and the families who are still in need. Together we make a difference,” Mayfield said at the conclusion of the video for Team Rubicon.
