He jumped over two rows and started giving the person blows to the back before performing the Heimlich maneuver. The foreign object was dislodged about 20 seconds later.
"We overuse the term hero but the guy saved a persons life. Legit hero," tweeted Grant Paulsen who spoke with Covington at the game.
