Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Jeff Allen had a little trouble getting to work the other day as a major snowstorm struck the area. Of course, his work was the NFL playoffs and he’s kind of important to the team.
But, luckily, a good Samaritan named Dave helped Allen and the star lineman took to social media to help find the hero:
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

Success, but not after a number of fans impersonated “Dave” in the hopes of free playoff tickets:
Update: Despite the recent influx in people changing their name to Dave in the KC area lol, I was actually able to track down the Dave that helped me thanks to the power of social media and #ChiefsKindgom. Thanks for your kindness https://t.co/e4OkEg6AAw
