As part of the wager, The Buff Project, a New York City-based fire safety organization and distributor of officially licensed NFL Team Identified Smoke alarms, is donating 50 NFL licensed team-branded smoke detectors per game to the fire departments to use in their fire safety outreach efforts. Also during the NFL playoffs, for every NFL team-identified smoke detector sold on their website, The Buff Project will donate smoke detector to that city’s fire department.
