Man credits Giants kicker Younghoe Koo for saving his life after the kicker botched a field goal attempt against the New England Patriots.
Mark Toothaker of Lexington, Kentucky, says he believes Koo saved his life.
Toothaker says the wiff from Koo made him laugh so hard that he had a seizure.
"I’ve never felt anything like this in my life. I felt like I got electrocuted," he said.
Toothaker was then rushed from his home to the hospital. Following a CT scan, Toothaker says a "tennis-ball-sized tumor" was found on the side of his brain.
The tumor was surgically removed, and Toothaker has no long-term damage, according to the AP.
“[Koo] saved my life because it could’ve happened any other time. I wholeheartedly believe I was in the right spot at the right time, and he was the trigger for that happening. It was a miracle," he told the AP.
"As tough as that thing was, as violent as that seizure was, I have no memory of it and I would find it hard to believe that I wouldn’t have hurt somebody or hurt myself if I would’ve been behind a wheel."
