Earlier today, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton enlisted the help of social media to track down travel bags that fell out of the bed of his truck. That’s right, instead of starting the offseason with a trip to Mexico, the Dalton’s were forced postpone and try their luck with thousands of strangers.
The Red Rifle didn’t have high hopes, calling his request a “long shot,” but just hours later a man named Robert has come through in the clutch for the Daltons:
#bagsearch2016 is officially over! Thankful that Robert found our bags. The power of social media is real! pic.twitter.com/3lzPnef0FL

There you go, folks. The power of social media is very real if you are a professional athlete with 158,000 followers on Twitter and another 138,000 on Instagram.
