Packers linebacker Brad Jones got his first sack of the season on Sunday against the Lions, and taking down Detroit’s Matthew Stafford wasn’t even his best hit of the day.

Instead, Jones delivered his biggest hit to a fan who jumped out of the stands at Lambeau Field and ran onto the playing field.

Jones held onto the fan, who is reportedly 15 years old, until security arrived to escort him away.

Sunday’s game was also Jones’s first start of the season on defense, and he was the team’s special teams captain for the game.
