The Denver Broncos’ 26-21 win over the Carolina Panthers provided not only an entertaining on-field football product, but a very entertaining and funny halftime show for those in attendance on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

During halftime, the Panthers had a corgi race on the field. As the teams were getting ready to once again retake the field in the second half, one dog got loose, and eluded several handlers, looking more like Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker in Week 1 against the Broncos’ defense than a canine. It took several missed tackles before the corgi was finally corralled, much to the delight of the crowd.

RedZone host Scott Hanson provided a hilarious play-by-play of the dog eluding its handlers in the viral moment.

It sounded even better when set to music:
