Carolina Panthers defensive lineman Kyle Love looked as alert as his defense late in his team’s blowout loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.

With his team down 52-21 and under six minutes remaining, Love was shown sitting on the Panthers’ bench with his chin resting against his chest and looking asleep.

Was he taking a nap? Praying? Thinking?

Maybe he’ll catch some crap in the film room for that — if he’s awake for it.
