A young Kansas City Chiefs fan nearly suffered massive injuries or possibly could’ve lost his life after tumbling onto the field on Sunday.
Following Kansas City’s narrow 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium, Chiefs players were walking toward the tunnel to exit the field while fans shouted for autographs or anything they could get their hands on.
One young blonde kid in a Nick Bolton jersey could be seen reaching out for two players headed his way, but his eagerness almost got him hurt.
The young Kansas City Chiefs fan began to fall down to the ground below.
Luckily for him, Chiefs player Tershawn Wharton was in the right spot at the right time to save that kid.
After the kid fell, the usher near the guardrail told everyone to go back to their seats.
“Back to your seats, back to your seats, everybody go back to your seats, this kid just fell.”
Fortunately, as he was saying that, the kid was being pushed back up and appeared to be unharmed.
The 26-year-old Kansas City Chiefs lineman went undrafted out of Missouri S&T in 2020 before latching on with the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Kansas City Chiefs Had A Scare But Pulled Out A Much-Needed Victory
Going into the game against the Carolina Panthers, many thought this would be a blowout victory for the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns, but the Panthers kept it close as the road team walked away with a narrow 30-27 win.
On the other side, Bryce Young had 21 completions on 35 attempts for 263 yards and a touchdown.
The win improved the Chiefs record to 10-1. They have to keep winning since the Bills are right there with a 9-2 record.
