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.
