NFL-Corgi Quinn steals halftime show with runaway romp in Carolina

The ​Carolina Panthers and ​Denver Broncos had ‌competition for ​the afternoon's most elusive runner on Sunday when a corgi ‌in a Carolina blue sweater abandoned her halftime race and gave security the runaround. Quinn turned the field ‌at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium into her ‌personal playground, zigzagging past several would-be captors as fans roared with laughter.

The diminutive escape artist slipped past outstretched ⁠hands ​and appeared ⁠to be heading towards the end zone before handlers corralled ⁠her near the 40-yard line. Her unscheduled exhibition proved a ​hit beyond the stadium, with footage of ⁠the escapade quickly going viral.

Charlotte Corgi Club identified the dog ⁠as ​Quinn on its Facebook page, saying she had been selected for the halftime race ⁠alongside fellow corgis Winnie, Sausage, Daisy, Colorado and Ollie. With ⁠the four-legged ⁠entertainment over, Denver beat Carolina 26-21 as Bo Nix threw two touchdown ‌passes.
