Today’s lesson: Always be aware of objects leaving the field of play when you’re on the sidelines at an NFL game.
One poor bystander learned that the hard way during Sunday night’s game between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots.
Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler was forced out of the pocket and had to throw the ball away during the second quarter at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Osweiler made sure the pass left the field of play, and that was bad news for an unsuspecting man on the sideline, as the ball drilled him right in the face.

We sure hope the NFL had this man enter the concussion protocol, but based on the league’s handling of Jacoby Brissett’s concussion, we’re sure this man is back on the Denver sideline.
