Holy hell! Insanity in Charlotte!
There’s nothing wrong with being one of those NFL fans who stays after a game in an attempt to greet one of their favorite players, or even better, you get lucky and end up with an autograph or some piece of merchandise. It’s an exciting part of being a fan. Just uh… Make sure you don’t fall out of the stands in the process.
This exact thing happened following the Week 12 contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers, a game that the Chiefs won, 30-27. (RELATED: Sports Gambler Loses An Incredible $1 Million After Rams Fail To Cover Spread Against Eagles)
After Kansas City kicker Spencer Shrader hit the game-winning field goal, a few Chiefs fans decided to stay a little longer to see their players leave the field, hoping to have a moment.
Tershawn Wharton, a defensive tackle for the Chiefs, was one of the players who came over to the fans. However, while walking over to give a kid his gloves, the child ends up falling out of the stands in a scary scene. Fortunately for the young fan, Wharton made it to him in the nick of time to save him from crashing into the ground, eventually helping him get back into the stands.

Note to the Panthers: Make sure all your barriers are actually protected.
