Sports have the ability to bring strangers closer together and the camaraderie among Kansas City Chiefs fans was on full display Friday.
Severe winter weather struck the Midwest in the days leading up to the AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and the Tennessee Titans and caused more than 100 flight cancellations out of St. Louis-Lambert International Airport on Friday night, according to FOX 2 St. Louis.

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 offered to drive Hill’s grandparents across the state in the icy weather. Fearn was heading that way to see the game as well.
Dakota Fearn, Dave’s son, 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.

Hill thanked Dave Fearn on Twitter for his generosity.
