This time of year is usually a time of peace, vacation, and relaxation for many NFL players. This week, some of the players have been apart of the NFL’s USO Tour in which they travel to different military bases across the world. Marc Sessler sent out a Twitter video today from Italy’s Aviano Air Base showing the Saints’ Mark Ingram – dressed in full body padded protection – attempting to outrun a security K-9. What happened next was…well…unexpected:

Results: TROUBLESOME. 🐶 pic.twitter.com/WE9t34XfHu

Not only could the stud running back not outrun the dog, it also managed to put him on his back. The pup’s highlight-worthy tackle had Twitter rocking, and many even felt the need to tie it in with modern headlines.
