Sports have the ability to bring strangers closer together and the camaraderie among Kansas City Chiefs fans was on full display Friday.

The cancellations meant that Tyreek Hill’s grandparents couldn’t get across Missouri to see the wide receiver play in the conference championship. However, one fan came to the rescue.
Dave Fearn, a longtime Chiefs fan, was on the same flight as Hill's grandparents. When they got stuck in St. Louis, Fearn decided to rent a large SUV to drive them and three other Chiefs fans to Kansas City, Dave's son Dakota told Fox News on Sunday.
Dakota Fearn told FOX 4 Kansas City that his father won the tickets to the game in a bet with his friends over the Chiefs-Houston Texans game just days prior.
