Buffalo Bills defensive end Michael Hoecht suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

He hopped down the sideline to the defensive linemen's bench area, remaining there for the rest of the game to cheer on his teammates. When asked if he was okay, Hoecht repeatedly told them, "We'll deal with this tomorrow. Let's go win." His dedication was evident as the Bills completed their 28-21 win, with Hoecht demonstrating his love for the team through a gutty performance after leaving the game.
