Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner suffered an astonishing mishap during their game against the Philadelphia Eagles after somehow getting himself stuck in the sideline camera unit.
At the start of the third quarter at Northwest Stadium, Wagner was left trapped in the camera unit while flat down on his back after going crashing into it on an Eagles first down.
Panicked teammates soon intervened as he struggled to get himself up, with two Commanders defenders initially seen trying to pull him out before another two came over to help.
In the end they were able to rescue Wagner from the astonishing situation he found himself in, before he ran back onto the field as the game resumed.
Washington eventually ran out 36-33 winners after a stunning last-gasp touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Daniels got the ball when the clock read 1:58 and delivered his latest masterful performance by finding Jamison Crowder in the end zone with 6 seconds left to give the Commanders an emotional comeback victory Sunday that ended the Eagles' winning streak at 10 games.

It was his fifth touchdown pass of the game as the 24-year-old shined and kept Philadelphia from celebrating an NFC East championship.
'You got those guys that came in on the win streak they were on, they were hot and they´re a very good team - rightfully so, good offense, good defense, all-around well-prepared team and you want to go out there and see where you match up against those type of guys,' he said after the win.
'Those type of situations when it´s on thin ice and plays need to be made, that´s what you live for. If you really love this sport, you live for those big-time moments where it comes down to the end.'
Daniels is the first Washington quarterback to throw for five touchdowns since Mark Rypien in 1991. That was Washington's most recent Super Bowl-winning season.
Rypien, who was the MVP of that Super Bowl, was in attendance for Sunday's game.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, was left without Jalen Hurts for almost the entirety after their starting quarterback suffered a concussion just minutes into the game.
