Parachute jumper at Lions game nearly crashes into players (video)

The Detroit Lions attracted an unwanted guest as they lined up on the sideline before Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium.

While the national anthem was being played, a parachute jumper tried to land on the field to fire up the crowd.

He did eventually land, but nearly crashed into Lions players standing on the sideline in the process.

Maybe that was all part of the Vikings’ plan to spook their opponent. The home team did manage to jump out to a 17-3 lead against their divisional foe.
