Roger Goodell Surprises Patriots Fan With Super Bowl Tickets
BOSTON (CBS) -- A Patriots fan in New York was given the surprise of a lifetime by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the weekend.
Bill Duggan, a volunteer firefighter, was recently diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
Duggan's family and friends created "Bills Bucket List" and launched a campaign to help him go the Super Bowl. On Sunday morning, Goodell helped them achieve just that.
