A pair of football gamers tackled someone who was not on the opposing staff Monday evening when a protester darted on to the area.

The Los Angeles Rams had been participating in versus the San Francisco 49ers when the protester ran on to the industry carrying some thing emitting what appeared to be pink smoke. As the protester was operating, Rams gamers Bobby Wagner and Takkarist McKinley chased right after him and pushed him to the floor, according to ESPN.

"That's what we're conversing about, Wagner!" stated commentator Peyton Manning. "A veteran, proper, get'em down, now get out and allow these guys choose over!"

The protester, recognized as Alex Taylor, is a supporter of Immediate Action Just about everywhere, the grassroots network of animal rights activists mentioned on social media. Taylor appeared to be carrying an orange shirt with purple lettering.

Wagner and McKinley's intervention marked the 2nd time a admirer ran onto the industry with a gadget letting out pink smoke for the duration of Monday night's match. The other protester, Allison Fluty, was tackled by protection.

The collision by the two players on the protester still left a obvious mark on the soccer field in the vicinity of the 40-garden line, according to ESPN.
