No, it didn't quite get to the point where Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel ran into a burning house and heroically rescued a woman, but he still played the role of hero. Cassel managed to alert his neighbor to her burning house on Thursday night, perhaps saving her from serious injury if not worse.
Neighbors told KMBC 9 News that Cassel's wife first spotted the smoke and flames coming from the home's chimney. Cassel ran to his neighbor's house, rang the doorbell, pounded on the front door and started to circle the house until he saw the woman who lives there come outside.
The woman said she didn't realize her house was on fire until the Cassels acted.
