Not all heroes wear capes and Philadelphia Eagles security guard Big Dom is one of them. 

After backup quarterback Kenny Pickett was pulled from Week 17's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a rib injury, third-string quarterback Tanner McKee stepped in and threw his first career touchdown on a third down attempt in the fourth quarter. 

The former 2023 sixth-round pick connected with wide receiver A.J. Brown for a 20-yard touchdown. It's typical for quarterbacks to keep their first career TD ball, but Brown had accidentally thrown it into the stands full of wild Eagles fans. 

That's when Big Dom stepped in to save the day and retrieved the ball back for McKee. 

The fan walked down the stadium stairs, handed the ball back to Big Dom who gave it to a ball boy, and back to Brown, who was the one to make sure it got to McKee. 

McKee later threw another touchdown to wide receiver DeVonta Smith. 

He finished the day completing 3 of 4 pass attempts for 54 yards and two touchdowns as the Eagles went on to beat Dallas 41-7 and clinch the NFC East.
