The fan's footwork leaves a lot to be desired...

The massive NFL rivalry between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers was taken to the next level last week as Seahawks mascot Blitz and a 49ers fan went head-to-head. The incident happened at CenturyLink Field in Seattle as droves of fans lined up for extra tickets that went on sale for the two teams highly-anticipated meeting on December 14. The crowd was mostly made up of Seahawks fans but a few people traveled from San Fran to try and get a ticket. The mascot, Blitz, was the entertainment for the fans and some 49ers wanted to take the banter to the next level by challenging Blitz to a one-on-one offensive coverage competition. The fan was dressed in classic sporting attire - jeans and a hoodie while Blitz is a giant blue bird so you'd expect the competitor who isn't dressed up in a giant costume to win, nope! There's only one way to describe what happened, face-plant... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg2zT6eXqTc Hat-tip to Bleacher Report.
