Homeless Good Samaritan Helps Kansas City Chiefs Player Reach Playoff Game

Kansas City Chiefs guard Jeff Allen has tracked down a homeless good Samaritan who helped him dig his car out of the snow before Saturdays playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts .

Dave Cochran told NBC affiliate 41 Action News that he had no idea Allen was an NFL player when he offered to help, but that it wouldnt have made a difference anyway.

I just looked at him like a normal person, Cochran said. I would hope that he would do the same for me as I did for him.

Hours before the @Chiefs playoff game against the #Colts @JeffAllen71 was stuck in the snow. That is when Dave pulled over to help. Now he is heading to the AFC championship game. #LetsRoll If you would like to help Dave you can email me: steven.dial@kshb.com@41actionnews pic.twitter.com/DUhPFcUgbn
