Man catches winning kick football at the Superbowl
[CBS Sports] There's no doubt that the Kansas City Chiefs were the biggest winners on Super Bowl Sunday, but if you're wondering who the second-biggest winner was, that answer would probably be Eamonn Dixon, the lucky fan who caught the game-winning field goal that gave the Chiefs a 38-35 win over Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII.
This is the kind of story I just love. In this day and age, that means other people will find 10 things wrong with it.
Harrison Butker gave Kansas City the win when he drilled a 27-yard field goal with just eight seconds left to play.
What you may not have noticed if you were watching at home is that Butker hit the field goal so well that he actually blasted the football OVER the kicking net, which sent it into the crowd and that's how Dixon came up with it.
After catching the ball, the native Australian did what anyone would do and he immediately took a selfie with it.
It's crazy enough to catch the game-winning field goal at the Super Bowl, but that's only one of several unbelievable parts to the story and we're going to go through them all here.
Dixon wasn't even supposed to be attending the game.
