Jim Kelly enjoyed a hall of fame career and made a lot of money playing football, but he hasn’t had the easiest life. There are the four consecutive Super Bowl losses, of course, but those pale in comparison to the adversity he’s faced off-the-field. He lost his son, Hunter, at an early age and has faced cancer (and won) twice.
Kelly spoke about that adversity in this tear-jerker of a Thanksgiving package that CBS ran before his Bills took on the Cowboys. There’s a good chance someone is actually cutting onions around you right now, so you can probably get away with watching this one in front of others.

Kelly announced he was cancer-free (for a second time) in January of this year. For that, the NFL world is very thankful.
