NFL Week 12 will see the Indianapolis Colts hosting the Detroit Lions at Lucas Oil Stadium, with plenty of action both on and off the field. Among the spectators was none other than NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, casually soaking in the pregame buzz—until something hilariously unexpected almost turned the spotlight on him.

In a moment, straight out of a comedy sketch, Roger Goodell narrowly avoided being hit in the face with a cream pie, all caught on camera. As the pie’s trajectory became apparent, Goodell’s reaction was priceless—he panicked and immediately pointed toward the player he was chatting with, visibly startled by the unexpected “attack.” The viral X post capturing the moment sent fans into a frenzy, showing Goodell caught off-guard in what could’ve been a messy situation.

Adding to the hilarity, the Colts mascot, known for its cheeky antics, was the prime suspect but denied any responsibility. The post’s caption, “Just kidding… I would never 😏,” perfectly summed up the mischievous vibes, leaving fans laughing and speculating whether the mascot was innocent—or just really good at playing it cool. Either way, Goodell got a much-needed reminder: always keep an eye on the mascot!

The suspense built as Blue tapped the commissioner on the shoulder. Fans likely held their breath, hoping for a classic pie-to-the-face moment. But just when things seemed to escalate, Blue pulled the ultimate curveball—he ditched the pie and went for a friendly hug instead, leaving Goodell visibly relieved and NFL fans slightly disappointed.

Social media lit up with reactions, with fans poking fun at Blue for “blowing the chance of a lifetime.” But hey, Blue’s got a good gig pulverizing kids at halftime—not risking it all for a pie prank!

“Blue, Noooo!”: Fans react to Colts Mascot nearly pieing Roger Goodell

NFL fans were left in stitches after Colts mascot Blue came hilariously close to pulling off the prank of the season. But just as fans held their breath, Blue ditched the gag for a hug instead. The internet? Predictably, went into a frenzy.

One fan summed it up perfectly: “It should have been, could have been, wasn’t.” A GIF of a disappointed reaction accompanied the post, encapsulating the collective letdown of what almost went down. Another fan joked, “Imagine if Blue actually did that, Roger would immediately banish the Colts to the shadow realm.” Let’s be honest—Goodell probably wouldn’t have taken it lightly.

Others couldn’t help but mourn the missed opportunity. “That would be the last time we saw Blue 😂,” laughed one user, poking fun at the inevitable consequences if the pie actually connected. Another chimed in, “I was really hoping you did it, Blue!”—a sentiment shared by fans everywhere.

“Would have been a LEGEND,” declared one, while another admitted they were on edge, yelling, “Blue, Nooooo!!!” Even without a pie to the face, Blue left everyone talking. What could’ve been? We’ll never know.

With the Lions– Colts game at its first quarter, much more excitement is yet to be unfolded. Stay tuned for more updates.
