Daring Fan Sprints with Josh Allen's Errant Pass in Thrilling NFL Game
6 Oct
Summary
- Fan catches Josh Allen's pass that bounced into the stands
- Sprints up the stadium stairs to keep the ball
- Broadcaster Mike Tirico provides lively play-by-play of the fan's dash
On October 2nd, 2025, during a Sunday night showdown between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots, a Bills fan found himself in an unexpected spotlight. When Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw an incomplete pass that bounced into the stands, the fan in a Matt Milano jersey quickly scooped up the ball and began a daring sprint up the Highmark Stadium stairs.
Broadcaster Mike Tirico, who had been describing a rather uneventful game up to that point, seized the moment to provide a lively play-by-play of the fan's dash. "Nice catch there," Tirico began, before building up the excitement. "Oh, he's gone. Milano! Milano's gonna go! He's in row 10! He's in row 15! He might get a beer!"
The fan's determined jog up the concourse captivated viewers, with Tirico continuing to narrate the fan's progress. "Milano, where you goin' man? This is your moment. Milano at row 40! Led by [a fan dressed like] Allen. He's gonna take it the distance! Maybe it wasn't his seat! Maybe he doesn't want to be on TV! He's gone."
The unexpected moment of levity seemed to energize the game itself. The Bills scored a touchdown on the very next play, and the Patriots responded with their first touchdown of the night on the ensuing drive. While the fan may have missed the touchdown, he likely walked away with a much more valuable prize - a Josh Allen-thrown game ball to bring back to his tailgate.
