A scary moment occurred during the Indianapolis Colts-Jacksonville Jaguars game when Michael Pittman Jr. accidentally ran over a security guard, who fell hard to the turf near the end zone.
On what would have been a touchdown — Pittman was called for offensive pass interference to nullify the grab in the end zone — he was pushed and lost his footing in rainy conditions as he slipped on the grass.
But Pittman immediately punched a security guard, who wasn’t looking behind him as he performed his duty watching the Jacksonville crowd at EverBank Stadium. The security guard hit the grass hard, causing the back of his head to hit the ground.

Pittman was quick to check on the man before finally joining his team on the field.
After the game, Pittman posted to X hoping to find out the security guard’s status.
“Any news on the security guard who hit his head on the field yesterday?” Pittman asked his followers with a praying hands emoji.

PK Press Club Digital asked Pittman on Wednesday if he had ever heard of the man he collided with.
“So, I’ve heard from other people,” said Pittman, who also discussed his partnership with Oral-B. “We’re still working on it – we have a great media team in our building. They said they were going to get his name so I could contact him personally and check on him.
“It was a scary thing for everyone involved, but they said he made it out on his own. He’s OK, so that’s good.”
NFL players always go the extra mile to help their teams win games, but sometimes the heat of competition causes spectators on the sidelines to become collateral damage. This was one of the scariest blows between a player and game staff, but it’s good to hear that the security guard seems to be good.

It would have been the first touchdown pass of rookie Riley Leonard’s young career if Pittman’s grab had yielded six points. But it ultimately didn’t work in the 36-19 loss, where starting quarterback Daniel Jones was lost for the season with a torn Achilles tendon in the first quarter.
As a result, the Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who last came out of retirement to play in the NFL in 2020 – Pittman’s rookie year in the league.
PERFECT CLEAN, PERFECT GAME
Pittman teamed up with Oral-B, which was recently named the official toothbrush of the NFL, and he shot some fun content with the Colts’ beloved mascot, Blue.
Pittman and Blue were trying to clean their pearly whites with the new iO Series electric toothbrush, and while Blue is known for his belly that moves during games, he also had a set of giant teeth to get right before the game.

As someone who never strays from their play routine, it starts with brushing your teeth before anything else in the morning.
“Smiling is everything,” Pittman said. “With Oral-B being the official toothbrush of the NFL, I felt like it was a perfect partner because they give you the perfect clean so you can play the perfect game with their IO Series toothbrush that they just released. It does all the work for you, so it couldn’t be easier.”
