Kansas City, Missouri – – Following the incident that stirred public outrage at MetLife Stadium, where a New York Giants fan dubbed "Giants Karen" snatched the headband that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes intended to give to a young fan about 10 years old, Mahomes has taken a heartwarming action that has touched the NFL community. The 30-year-old star proactively reached out to the boy's family, gifting him an authentic jersey of his own and sponsoring tickets to the Chiefs' next game to make up for the unfortunate experience.

The incident occurred right after the Chiefs' 22-9 victory over the Giants on September 21, 2025, in Week 3. In a viral video on social media platform X, Mahomes ran to the fan barrier, looked directly at the boy wearing a Chiefs jersey, and handed him the headband used during the game. However, the woman in a blue Giants jersey suddenly intervened and grabbed the gift, leaving the boy looking sad and disappointed. The video quickly spread, garnering millions of views and criticism from the community, with many calling the woman's action "selfish" and "unacceptable."

 
 

After learning about it, Mahomes directly contacted the boy's family through social media and Chiefs representatives. He not only sent the boy a personalized signed No. 15 jersey but also sponsored VIP tickets for him and his family to watch the Chiefs' next game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. It's known that the day of the incident coincided with the boy's birthday, making the story even more poignant. Mahomes arranged a short video call to chat with the boy, encouraging him to continue his passion for football.

Mahomes' action has received widespread support from NFL fans, with many praising him as a "true hero" both on and off the field. The woman in the video, identified as Nina Miller, later defended herself in People Magazine, claiming Mahomes intended it for her, but replay footage clearly shows the gift was meant for the boy.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
