A scary moment occurred during the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars game when Michael Pittman Jr. accidentally knocked down a security guard, who fell hard on the field near the end zone.
What could have been a touchdown catch – Pittman was called for offensive pass interference to deny the catch in the end zone – he was pushed and his foot slipped as he slid on the grass in rainy conditions.
But Pittman immediately hit a security guard who was not looking behind him while performing his duty watching the Jacksonville crowd at EverBank Stadium. The security guard hit the turf hard, causing the back of his head to hit the ground.

Pittman immediately checked on the man before rejoining his team on the field.
After the game, Pittman posted up on the X, hoping to learn the status of the security guard.
“Any update on that security guard getting hit on the head yesterday?” Pittman asked his followers along with a praying hands emoji.

Fox News Digital asked Pittman on Wednesday if he had ever heard from the man he ran into.
“So, I got updates from other people,” said Pittman, who also discussed his partnership with Oral-B. “We’re still working on it – we have a great media team in our building. They said they’re going to get her name out to me so I can reach out to her in person and check it out.
“It was a scary thing for everyone involved, but he said he left on his own strength. He’s doing well, so that’s good.”
NFL players are always going the extra mile to help their teams win games, but sometimes the heat of competition causes serious damage to spectators standing on the sidelines. This was one of the scariest exchanges between a player and gameday personnel, but it’s good to hear that the security guard seems to be on good terms.

It would have been the first touchdown pass of rookie Riley Leonard’s young career if Pittman’s grab had lasted six points. But it ultimately did not work in a 36–19 loss, where starting quarterback Daniel Jones was ruled out for the season due to a torn Achilles in the first quarter.
As a result, the Colts have signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who came out of retirement to last play in the NFL in 2020 – Pittman’s rookie year in the league.
perfect clean, perfect game
Pittman teamed up with Oral-B, which was recently named the official toothbrush of the NFL, and he shot some fun content with the beloved Colts mascot, Blue.
Pittman and Blue were trying to clean their pearly-white teeth with the new IO Series electric toothbrushes, and although Blue is known for his jiggling belly during the game, he also had a big set of teeth growing right before the game.

As someone who never strays away from his game day routine, it starts with brushing his teeth before anything else in the morning.
“Smiles are everything,” Pittman said. “Oral-B is the official toothbrush of the NFL, I felt like it was a perfect partner because they give you the perfect clean so you can play the game right with their IO-Series toothbrush that they just came out with. It does all the work for you, so it couldn’t be easier.”
