We’ve been following the story of the Cincinnati Bengals signing Devon Still to its practice squad in order for him to afford his daughter Leah‘s medical bills, but this latest update might be the most heartwarming so far!
Devon is a defensive tackle for the Bengals, and was at their game against the New England Patriots yesterday, when he received a gift that completely caught him off guard.
When the Pats’ cheerleaders took the field, they weren’t wearing their normal red, white, and blue numbers… they were, instead, all rocking Devon’s orange and black ’75’ jersey, in support of his four-year-old daughter!
Devon was so moved by their gesture, that he was actually brought to tears on camera.
Leah is suffering from Stage 4 neuroblastoma, but is doing well thanks to her strong will, her father’s love, and the Bengals allowing Devon to stay on the payroll and giving him health insurance.

Leah’s undergone a couple of successful surgeries so far, and the team raised $400,000 for her in the first four days of their fundraising, so we bet it’s safe to say the Bengals really are her favorite team!
After doing their good deed, the Patriots Cheerleaders cheered on their boys as they went on to beat the Bengals 43-17.
Ch-ch-check out the emotional moment between Devon and his rival cheerleaders (below)!!!
