While Carolina and Denver were engaged in a fairly entertaining game Sunday, the real highlight of the afternoon at Bank of America Stadium likely came via a four-legged friend.
An on-field event during halftime saw corgis race against one another, as they have begun doing at various sporting events in recent years as a means of keeping the masses engaged during breaks.
However, one corgi wasn’t satisfied with just participating in the race. He wanted to stay on the field to watch the rest of the game unfold.
Scott Hanson of NFL RedZone lended his voice to break down the corgi’s mad dash and the many individuals who attempted to corral it.
“A corgi is loose and the handlers can’t handle him!” Hanson exclaimed. “The second half is supposed to start, and they can’t get him at the 40, the 45, he’s at midfield. He’s checking to his left, to his right, he’s looking at himself on the big video board and finally they tackle him, but not until about a 100-yard gain.”
Bryce Young and the Carolina offense may want to look into seeing if this corgi is eligible to play some running back or slot receiver, or perhaps he can just provide pointers on how to avoid would-be tacklers.
