• Quinn the Corgi delayed the Carolina Panthers vs. Denver Broncos NFL game after breaking free during a halftime Corgi race

• RedZone host Scott Hanson narrated the chase as handlers struggled to catch the speedy pup

• Ollie officially won the race, while fans joked Quinn deserved an NFL contract

The Carolina Panthers’ 26-21 win against the Denver Broncos was overshadowed by a corgi who broke loose onto the field during halftime.

The second half of the game on Sunday, Nov. 8, was delayed after a corgi broke free during the Panthers’ Corgi Race and ran across the field at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

Hilarious footage posted by race organizers, the Charlotte Corgi Club, and the official NFL YouTube account showed the Corgi named Quinn speeding up and down the field as handlers dove to the ground to try and catch the pooch. She was eventually caught around the 40-yard line, per Yahoo Sports. 

“Next Panthers running back?” a caption read over the clip.

“GO QUINN GO! We had the best time at the @panthers game today and always love being a part of halftime,” Charlotte Corgi Club responded to the funny incident.

RedZone host Scott Hanson gave hilarious commentary on the viral moment in a video ESPN posted on Instagram.

“A corgi race and a corgi is loose! And the handlers can’t handle him,” he said. “The second half is supposed to be kicking off. They can’t get him at the 40! They can’t get him at the 45! He’s at midfield.”

“He’s checking to his left and his right. He’s looking at himself on the big video board and finally…” Hanson shouted as Quinn was eventually caught.

The Panthers reposted the funny clip, writing, “Still a good boy though .”

Despite Quinn’s fast pace on the field, Ollie the Corgi was officially declared the winner of the dog race, per Charlotte Corgi Club’s Instagram.
