A Buffalo Bills fan had the time of his life when he caught an errant pass from Josh Allen and flew out of Highmark Stadium during the team’s loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday night.
But while most people watching the game thought the man took home a souvenir and missed out on a pretty epic game, it turned out to be quite the opposite.

Wednesday’s fan was identified as Brian Kemp. He spoke with WIVB-TV about the moment and explained that he and his wife, Tara Halliwell-Kemp, had been buying tickets from their friend, who is also a Bills superfan. Brian Kemp saw Allen roll to his right and throw the ball.
“Next thing I know, that Allen bullet is coming… I mean, the biggest gun in the league, you know, there was some heat on that ball,” he told the station. “I was able to grab it, bring it over, and I looked at my wife and said, ‘I’ll meet you at the car.'”
Tara Halliwell-Kemp said security approached her and asked that her husband give her the ball back and that they would get him another soccer ball. He explained to the officials that he had been promised this in the past, but that it had never been fulfilled.

Brian Kemp explained that he ended up returning to his seat and ended up returning the ball. But the ball he received in exchange will end up going to his friend.
“I ended up going back to the seat and happily returned the ball,” he told the station. “They gave me another ball in return, so unfortunately this ball is not the ball that Allen threw and that I caught.
“However, all is right with the world. There was no theft. There was no stolen item.”
