The legend of “Florida Man” continues!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was a grade-A punisher against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, throwing a whopping five touchdowns in a 48-14 beatdown of his former team. But his brilliant performance actually ended up getting interrupted by … a duck? (RELATED: Several Players Hit With Ejections After Insane Brawl Breaks Out Between Eagles, Cowboys)
Yes, one of our feathered friends (unless you’re a hunter) made its way on the field of Raymond James Stadium, and boy oh boy, what a sight it was.
During the third quarter, CBS’s cameras cut to a duck who was doing his thing on the turf just waddling around, and it sent fans on social media into a frenzy.

And to make this story even better, it has a happy ending, as the duck was saved by the iconic “Florida Man” in all of his glory!
Sometimes Florida man is the hero we need.
