A young fan may have attended their first NFL game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Sunday.
They probably won't remember the Carolina Panthers hosting the Denver Broncos. Heck, they may not even remember eating their first hot dog. But they should never forget when a corgi broke loose onto the field just before the start of the second half.
The Panthers held a corgi race during Sunday's game as halftime entertainment. Afterward, one broke loose.
The corgi evaded four people before they corralled it at the 40-yard line. Try to count how many tackles it broke while listening to "NFL RedZone" host Scott Hanson.

"A corgi is loose," Hanson said. "And the handlers can't handle him. The second half is supposed to be kicking off. They can't get him at the 40. They can't get him at the 45. They can't get him at midfield. The corgi is loose. He's checking to his left, checking to his right. He's looking at himself on the big video board. And finally, they tackle him until about a 100-yard gain."

Perhaps someone should time that corgi during a 40-yard dash. He displayed some decent speed while running away from his handlers. But we doubt he has the athletic skills of Disney's "Air Bud." He was a "Golden Receiver."
All fans (young and old) should've enjoyed the "Great Corgi Chase" on Sunday. The kids, however, should've gotten the biggest kick out of it.
Parents will also find it amusing, but some hope it doesn't make one of their kids want a dog for Christmas. They know they'll be the ones taking care of it, even if the kids promise they will. And they will be the ones chasing it down the street when one lets the pup break loose.
