It is the pass that put the Seattle Seahawks into the Super Bowl -- again. In overtime, Russell Wilson threw it to Jermaine Kearse, who threw it to... Scott Shelton?
The fan sitting in end zone seats caught the ball when Kearse heaved it into the stands in celebration. And now his life has momentarily changed.
"Everyone's going crazy. I can't believe I got this ball!" said the 32-year-old man from Monroe, whose voice is still hoarse from screaming.
"Wilson drops back. Throws a strike to Kearse," Shelton gleefully gave the play-by-play. "Pulls down the game-winning catch. He got up and chucked it into the stands. And it bounced about four times. And right into my lap. Just right into my chest. Like, just, boom! Just like that. And I jumped up into the seat and just screaming! It was just amazing! Amazing feeling! We just won the game. I got this thrown to me, by Kearse. It was, it was like a dream come true. It still is. I haven't woke up yet, you know. "
Catching the famous football has given Shelton an emotional lift like nothing else in his life because it comes at a profoundly difficult time for the jobless father of two young children. His family says he's had a challenging life, including serious brushes with the law -- even spending time behind bars as a juvenile and facing more next month.
If Shelton does end up going to the Super Bowl, he'll need to hurry back to Western Washington because at 2 p.m. the next day, his mother says a judge will take him into custody to start serving several months in jail.
Admiring his football, Shelton is still in the moment.
"This is a cool ball, man. To think that this is the one that I watched sail. The pass is still re-playing in my mind. It's been going all night and all day - really, that really happened!" he said.
