During halftime of a preseason game between the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos, the mascots of local Colorado sports teams challenged a group of youth football players.
But the Denver Nuggets’ character, Rocky, might have taken an opportunity to make a tackle a little too seriously.

Poor kid. He was already out of bounds, but that didn’t matter to Rocky.
Plus, Rocky should have been tagged with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the late hit, then another 15-yarder for taunting the budding superstar. Yet somehow, he escaped seeing some laundry on the field.
If only the Nuggets played that physical, too.
