Charlotte, North Carolina – At an NFL game between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos over the weekend, it wasn't the athletes who stole the show – it was a small but speedy Corgi!

During a Corgi race at the Panthers' Bank of America Stadium, the dog named Quinn broke free and sprinted across the gridiron.

As shown in an NFL YouTube video, the female Corgi outwitted her handlers, dodging them skillfully throughout the chase.

Several people even threw themselves onto the ground trying to catch the swift little furball – but to no avail.

This pup knows how to break a tackle like the best of 'em!

Only after four people and several minutes did they finally manage to grab little Quinn. The incident even led to a short delay in kicking off the second half.

The audience was thrilled by the animal interruption and even cheered on the little dog. On social media, some are even convinced Quinn deserves an NFL contract!

"That corgi's already got 10 offers from different teams," one commenter joked.

Despite Quinn's rapid pace on the field, the Charlotte Corgi Club announced that it was a Corgi named Ollie who was officially declared the winner of the dog race.
