A fan ran onto the field just before halftime as the San Francisco 49ers took on the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football to cap Week 4. The fan was carrying a pink smoke bomb, and ran down the sidelines until two Rams players knocked him to the ground. Rams defensive end Takkarist McKinley chased the fan down from behind, and veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner lowered his shoulder to blast him to the ground.

The security guard in the yellow jacket did a great job of forcing the streaker to the sidelines, where he knew he had extra help. Wagner volunteered for the job and leveled the dude for what is legitimately one of his biggest hits this season.
That idiot who ran on the field probably would have thought twice about his decision if he knew Wagner was going to truck him. Maybe this will deter the next person who thinks running onto the field is a good idea.
