Watch: Eagles fan escorted out by security after running onto field with players

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated Oct 17, 2022 2:22 PM ET

A recent trend of NFL fans running out onto the field continued in Week 6 ahead of the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles "Sunday Night Football" contest. Instead of a fan running out during the action, however, this Eagles die-hard was somehow able to burst through the tunnel with his favorite players ahead of kickoff for the NFC East clash.

During the Week 4 "Monday Night Football" game between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner aided security by slamming down a fan who stormed the field with a pink flare. During the Week 5 contest between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a 10-year-old boy ran onto the field as the Bucs were lining up for an extra point attempt.

After the child briefly evaded security, he was tackled by stadium workers. Afterward, his mother took to social media to seemingly gloat about the event.

The Eagles ended up defeating the Cowboys on Sunday, 26-17, and remain the only undefeated team in the NFL at 6-0.
