EAGLE-EYED fans spotted a supporter trapped in one of the most bizarre positions possible Sunday.
The man was left in an undignified position during the US national anthem.
The New York Jets began their season against the Pittsburgh Steelers at MetLife Stadium[/caption]
The incident happened at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday.
The New York Jets were beginning their season with a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Shortly before kickoff, the team unfurled a flag that covered the full field.
But as the Star Spangled Banner began to play, fans spotted something strange on the field.
A man was seen crawling from on top of the flag.
He apparently somehow became trapped on top of the giant Star Spangled Banner.
And he was forced to make a rather long and embarrassing crawl to escape.
The clip went viral on X.
“How does that even happen,” one NFL fan wondered.
“The crawl of shame,” another said.
While a third posted, “Typical Jets stuff.”
And a fourth said, “Only the Jets could do something like this.”
The flag incident was the first moment of an entertaining afternoon.
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New York Jets 34-32.
Chris Boswell made a 60-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to seal a dramatic win.

Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes for the Steelers against his former team.
Rodgers was released by the Jets after two disastrous seasons with the team.
He signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in June.
And Rodgers exacted revenge on his former team in Week 1.
His opposite number Fields, meanwhile, ran in for two touchdowns.
