SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah State and current Los Angeles Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner tackled an individual that entered the field of play during a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers hosted the Rams at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Monday, October 3.
Late in the first half, a fan exited the stands and entered the field. The individual ran down the field and waved his arms with a colorful smoke bomb in one hand.
As he ran down the sideline towards another Rams player and away from a pursuing security guard, Wagner leveled the individual with a big tackle.
