Eagles Fan Who Saved 70-Year-Old at Training Camp on Aug 7 Dies in U.S. Steel Plant Explosion


Philadelphia, PA –
The Philadelphia Eagles family is mourning the sudden loss of Timothy Quinn — a devoted fan, loving father, and unexpected hero — whose story went from saving a life at training camp to tragedy just days later.

A Moment of Heroism in Midnight Green

On August 7, 2025, at the NovaCare Complex, Quinn was among the crowd watching his beloved Eagles prepare for the season. When a 70-year-old woman collapsed from cardiac arrest, Quinn reacted instantly. Drawing on CPR skills, he worked alongside medics to revive her, a lifesaving act that earned him the admiration of everyone in attendance.

Eagles fans on X hailed him as a symbol of Philadelphia’s “Brotherly Love” — a man who didn’t hesitate to act when it mattered most. “Timothy saved a life at camp and was our heart. We lost a brother, but his legacy endures,” wrote @BleedGreenPhilly.

From Celebration to Loss

Just four days later, on August 11, tragedy struck. While working his shift at the Clairton Coke Works, the largest coke-producing facility in the U.S., a massive explosion tore through the plant. Quinn, 39, was killed instantly, becoming one of two victims in the disaster that also injured 10 others.

His sister, Tricia, described him as a dedicated steelworker and a passionate Eagles supporter who never missed a tailgate in his Jalen Hurts No. 1 jersey. “He loved this team, but more than that, he loved people,” she told WTAE Pittsburgh.

A City in Mourning

The loss has rippled through both the Philadelphia sports community and Quinn’s hometown in Pennsylvania. A GoFundMe campaign for his three children has already raised thousands, echoing the generosity Eagles fans have shown for causes tied to players like Brandon Graham and Jason Kelce.

Some supporters have proposed honoring Quinn at the Eagles’ August 17 game with a moment of silence or a patch bearing his initials — a tribute to a man whose legacy is measured in kindness and courage, not statistics.

Remembering Timothy Quinn

In just a few days, Timothy Quinn embodied everything Philadelphia holds dear — loyalty, bravery, and selflessness. He saved a stranger’s life wearing midnight green, and his sudden passing has left an empty seat in the stands and a permanent mark on the hearts of Eagles Nation.

For a city that cherishes its heroes, Timothy Quinn will be remembered not only for what he did, but for who he was.

Chiefs Locker Room Erupts, Chris Jones Under Investigation for NFL Sports Betting in Jaguars Game - HC Andy Reid Hands Down Harsh Punishment
Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Chiefs' locker room is in turmoil following an NFL investigation into defensive star Chris Jones over allegations related to sports betting. Jones, a multiple-time Pro Bowler, has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through Week 10, while head coach (HC) Andy Reid has imposed internal penalties after a suspicious performance in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. SOURCE: https://x.com/TheNFLDrop/status/1975574483990909165 The incident stems from a decisive play at the end of the game, where Jones – the Chiefs' top defensive tackle – appeared to "do absolutely nothing" to stop quarterback Trevor Lawrence from scoring the game-winning touchdown. According to sources, this lack of effort prompted the NFL to launch an investigation, suspecting possible involvement in betting, a serious violation of league rules. "He just stood there watching Lawrence run into the end zone like he was watching a movie," an anonymous teammate shared, reflecting the outrage in the locker room. Jones, 31, has been a cornerstone for the Chiefs since being selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft from Mississippi State. With an impressive career including 3 Pro Bowls, 2 Super Bowl wins, and 75.5 sacks, he signed a 5-year, $158 million contract in 2023. However, this season, Jones has only recorded 2 sacks through 5 games, and his performance against the Jaguars has drawn sharp criticism from Chiefs fans on social media. HC Andy Reid reacted strongly, penalizing Jones by sidelining him from practices and requiring an internal explanation. "We do not tolerate any behavior that harms the team or undermines the integrity of the game," Reid stated post-game. "Our organization prides itself on discipline and trust, and while we await the results of the NFL's investigation, we'll handle this internally to ensure it doesn't distract from our goals. Chris is a talented player, but no one is above the standards we set here in Kansas City." Meanwhile, the Chiefs' locker room is described as "explosive" with arguments, as some players like Patrick Mahomes express disappointment but still offer support for their teammate. The NFL investigation is expected to continue, and if violations are proven, Jones could face a long-term suspension. The Chiefs, currently at 2-3, must quickly stabilize their roster ahead of their next matchup. Fans are watching closely, with many calling this potentially the "biggest scandal of the season."
