The Streaker Who Ran Out Onto The Chiefs VS. Bills Field Got $1,000 On TikTok

The NFL Playoffs are finally here, working up everyone to another (hopefully) meme-worthy Super Bowl. The memes are already coming in, however, with QAron Rodgers and Old Man Brady, just to name a few.

Yesterday, however, a more memeable moment happened during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills divisional game when a fan ran out onto the field during the second half of Monday Night Football. Was it just another case of an ordinary streaker? Perhaps … but if you were on TikTok at all yesterday, you would know that the streaker had a premeditative purpose.

At a moment during the second half of the Chiefs vs. Bills game, a streaker wearing a Travis Kelce jersey ran out onto the field of the Arrowhead Stadium, trying to pick up the game ball. He was met, however, with the brute strength of Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who tackled him near the 20-yard mark.

Soon after, stadium security wrestled and restrained the streaker, holding him for the authorities. He was later arrested and charged for the bold maneuver, receiving a municipal charge and given a court date of February 24th. Luckily, Carl Fugate on Twitter was able to film the whole scene, posting it yesterday and receiving over 3,400 likes.

At first, no one really batted an eye at the streaker. In the stadium and at home, many just brushed it off, trying to focus on the rest of the game ahead as the Chiefs took out the Bills in a close, nail-biting 42-36 win. Most were seemingly too distracted to think about the streaker's identity. However, on TikTok, people didn't have the same experience. Many were at home scrolling their "For You" pages instead of watching football, where they might have seen a video that read like a hoax.

Most users didn't believe TikToker @trentsdreamco yesterday when he recorded his friend live at the playoff game. In the video, he tells his friend that he'll give him $1,000 to run out on the field, egging him on by saying, "You will not do that." The friend knows he'll probably be arrested and spend a night in the drunk tank, but a thousand dollars is a thousand dollars.

In a quick edit, the next clip is of the streaker, running out onto the field and getting tackled. Bodiless "OMGs" can be heard from where the cameraman's standing, who ended up captioning the video, "Wouldn't think he really would …"

Obviously, no one on the app thought it was the same guy, with many TikTokers commenting stuff like "No way that was him." Others just decided to comment on his eyelashes, relaying how long and luscious they are. But as pictures of the streaker on the field began to emerge, many online saw a resemblance, and everyone began to put the pieces together.

Three hours after the first TikTok, @trentsdreamco posted another video with text overlaid reading, "Anyone who says it's fake here u go … " attaching the most hilarious picture of the security guard picking up his streaker friend, making a pouty face like Casy Frey. As the song Pushin' P plays over the whole thing, many started to digest that the event was a reality. They'd just witnessed a man earn $1,000.

Overall, the biggest story of the night was not the streaker, as the Chiefs beat the Bills in classic, Patrick Mahomes style. Many on Twitter thought the streaker might have jinxed the team but they'd be proven wrong as it came to a close. Spending the night in custody, maybe the streaker saw the rest of the game on the jailhouse TV, coming down from his booze-induced decision, ready to make another at the Super Bowl.

Pretty debatable considering they won
