A TEN-YEAR-OLD Kansas City Chiefs fan has received a very special gift – after having his souvenir from Patrick Mahomes snatched away.
Joey Masters, 10, went viral last month after the Chiefs 22-9 win over the New York Giants.

The youngster was seen being gifted a headband by quarterback Mahomes at MetLife Stadium.
But as he took the momento from the two-time MVP, it was taken from his grasp by local woman Nina Miller.
Masters, who lives in New York, got tickets to watch the Chiefs vs Giants for his 10th birthday.
“I just want that band back really bad,” Joey told Kansas City news station KCTV5.
“Patrick Mahomes walked over to me, locked eyes with me, tries to give me his headband and the woman just swoops in and snatches it from me.”
“It was such a great day,” added Joey’s mom Mindy.
“The players were amazing with us, the fans were.
“Just to have one person swoop in and take that from him is heartbreaking for a mother to watch.”
The Chiefs have since caught on to the viral storm created by the incident.
And they decided to send Joey a money-can’t-buy gift.
The 10-year-old was seen unpacking a huge haul of gifts in a new social media update.
Joey received a signed Chiefs jersey from Mahomes, as well as a headband worn by the play-caller in a recent game.
He also unpacked a host of Chiefs merch, including a cap, flag and water bottle.
Miller broke her silence on the incident last month, insisting the “noise and excitement” led her to grab the headband from Joey.

“At the game, with all the noise and all the excitement, I honestly thought that Pat Mahomes was giving me the headband,” she said in a TikTok video.
“I reached for it without thinking.
“Later I found out that it was meant for that little boy for his 10th birthday.
“When I found out I felt horrible, because I don’t want to ruin anyone’s little time at the game and ruin their little birthday.
“To the young boy, I’m sorry that I ruined your moment.
“You should have had your moment for your birthday.”
Nina Miller has since apologized for taking the momento[/caption]
