A complete of 4 landing passes had been thrown through the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs’ dramatic 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, however a very powerful catch at Financial institution of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, got here after the sport.
Followers clamored across the railings of the stands to place themselves for a memento or high-five from Chiefs gamers exiting the sector. But it surely shortly turned scary for one little one, when he misplaced his footing and slipped over the sting of the elevated stands.
Fortunately, Kansas Metropolis defensive sort out Tershawn Wharton was on the spot to make the play of the day.
Wharton made two tackles on the sector in opposition to the Panthers. However the two-time Tremendous Bowl champion defensive lineman confirmed the palms and instincts of a large receiver as he lunged ahead and caught the falling little one, stopping him from hitting the turf.
“Actually it was pure response,” Wharton stated on the “Pat McAfee Present” on Tuesday. “I sort of grabbed him proper by the again of his again and sort of pushed him into the stands slightly bit extra.”
Wharton’s fast response helped the kid keep away from a head-first drop. He stated in his interview with McAfee that he is trying to invite the younger fan to a Chiefs recreation.
