KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Because of a snowstorm, a number of people likely had trouble getting to work in the Kansas City area Saturday — including Chiefs offensive lineman Jeff Allen.
Allen made it to Arrowhead Stadium in time for the AFC divisional playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts, thanks to a good Samaritan named Dave.
Allen was asking for the public’s help in finding Dave, because Allen wants to repay the favor.
The prize for lending a helping hand? Tickets to the upcoming AFC championship game.
Not bad, right?
Here is what Allen tweeted shortly before midnight:
“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”
Eventually, Allen found his Dave.
He tweeted this:
“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 Davidco59434183”
David Cochran tweeted: “Look all I try to do is survive and live life one day at a time and I love to go all out to try to help ppl”
