During the Week 4 "Monday Night Football" game between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner helped security by trucking a fan who stormed the field with a pink flare.

According to a TMZ report, the boy at the Atlanta-Tampa Bay game "hopped (the) stadium railing" and "made it several yards down the sideline ... juking stadium workers who were trying to stop him." The report said that the boy was issued a civil citation, given notice to appear in court and then released.
