The Kansas City Chiefs fan who sacrificed his beers so offensive tackle Eric Fisher could bust out a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin-inspired celebration is being treated to "something special."

Budweiser was able to track down the fan after the Chiefs' 51-31 comeback victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday, and the brand said he'll be rewarded with free beer and other surprises.

Fisher also gave a shoutout to the fan - who's been identified as Alex Thompson of Springfield, Missouri - and said he plans to thank him "Big Fish style."

Thompson told KMBC 9 News he didn't expect to go viral and was still shocked a day later.

"I was like, 'There is no way this is coming right at us,'" Thompson said. He added, "I mean, that was probably my highlight of all Chiefs games that I've been to."
