Kansas City Chiefs guard Jeff Allen had some issues getting to Arrowhead Stadium for Saturday's playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts, but thanks to a man named Dave he didn't miss out on the team's 31-13 victory.
Allen took to social media after the game to explain that his car was stuck in the snow when Dave, who didn't know Allen was a member of the Chiefs, stopped and offered his help.
"My car got stuck in the snow before the game & a nice guy named Dave help pull me out without knowing I was a player. I want to give him tickets to the AFC championship game for helping but don’t have a way to contact him. He drove a 97 or 98 Black Suburban. Pls RT #ChiefsKingdom"
By Sunday afternoon, Allen had successfully located Dave Cochran, a homeless man who lives in his Chevy Suburban with his girlfriend and dog, according to a report by 41 Action News in Kansas City.
“It’s like a dream come true," Cochran told 41 Action News. “I saw the message this morning, and I am not going to fake with you—call me soft if you want to, homeboys—I started bawling to know he is a man of his word and he reached out to contact me.”
Allen will be giving Cochran tickets to Sunday's AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots. Additionally, a GoFundMe page has been set up for Cochran.
