Watch: Mascot wipes out a bunch of kids during Bengals halftime 'game'

Halftime shows tend to provide some light entertainment for fans who haven’t run to the concession stand or bathrooms, but the Cincinnati Bengals inadvertently took things up a notch on Sunday.

The Bengals staged a game between numerous mascots and some kids. Obviously, this is for fun and not usually highlight worthy. Don’t tell that to the Cincinnati Bearcats’ mascot, who absolutely wrecked a bunch of kids trying to tackle them.

There’s some strong Marshawn Lynch energy with this one. Maybe the mascots saw what happened to the New England Patriots’ mascot last year and wanted to exact some revenge on the human race.

Either way, this is just brutal, and also extremely hilarious.
