While Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots turned into a low-scoring battle, one of the most exciting moments in the game came due to an unexpected disruption. In the third quarter of the game at Levi’s Stadium, with the Patriots already down by three scores, a shirtless fan ran onto the field and brought the action to a standstill. While fans usually laugh off streaker incidents, Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams took the situation seriously. 

During the break in the action, the intruder, who appeared to be promoting a day trader known for past Super Bowl stunts, managed to outrun multiple security guards and nearly crossed the entire field. That’s when Kyle Williams decided to take things into his own hands to avoid wasting any more time while his team was still hoping to complete a comeback. Using the speed that helped him clock a 4.4-second 40-yard dash at last year’s NFL Combine, Williams sprinted after the fan and quickly gained ground. 

Realizing he couldn’t escape from Williams, the streaker then slid down near the 10-yard line, where security detained him and escorted him away. The shirtless fan also had “@FXAlexG” and “Trade with Athena” written on his back, along with “Trade in the blind spot” on his chest. FAlexG is the Instagram handle of day trader Alex Gonzalez, who isn’t new to such chaos at the Super Bowl. 

Two fans ran onto the field during the 2024 Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium, where the Kansas City Chiefs played against the San Francisco 49ers. That time, it was Gonzalez and Sebastian Riviera, who charged onto the field with their social media handles written across their chests. However, Gonzalez and Riviera’s appearance was brief at that Super Bowl, as security officials quickly caught them on the field and escorted them down the tunnel.

Authorities later took Gonzalez and Riviera into custody at the Clark County Detention Centre on misdemeanor charges for prohibited conduct at a sporting event. But after his release, Gonzalez admitted he had “literally just paid $42,000 to go to jail,” while further explaining that he had long dreamed of making it onto the field during a massive event like the Super Bowl. 

Now, interestingly, the television broadcast of Super Bowl LX never showed the fan who ran onto the field at Levi’s Stadium. But that did not come as a surprise since networks made that decision long ago to discourage copycat behavior, knowing airtime is exactly what streakers want in a big event like the Super Bowl. So, broadcasts cut away to other shots while the disruption unfolded on the field during Super Bowl LX.

As a result, every angle of Kyle Williams’ pursuit of the streaker came from fan-recorded videos inside the Levi’s Stadium. Ironically, it ended up being Williams’ most memorable moment of the night as he finished the game with just one catch on two targets for 7 yards. However, coincidentally or not, the streaker did make things interesting for the Patriots. 

What happened at Super Bowl LX after Kyle Williams’ pursuit of the streaker?

The Seahawks controlled the first half of Super Bowl LX matchup with dominant defense and three field goals to build a 9-0 lead. Meanwhile, the Patriots failed to score and looked overwhelmed early, but the team continued to show resilience. But after the shirtless fan caused the delay in the third quarter, the Patriots appeared re-energized. 

Perhaps inspired by Kyle Williams’ pursuit of the streaker, the Patriots scored two touchdowns, starting with a scoring pass from quarterback Drake Maye to receiver Mack Hollins. Later in the fourth quarter, Patriots’ running back Rhamondre Stevenson hauled in a touchdown reception that briefly made things interesting. But then Maye and his team failed to score again while struggling against Seattle’s defensive masterclass.

Ultimately, Seattle’s defense sacked Drake Maye six times as the Patriots fell 29-13. Maye completed 27 of 43 passes for 295 yards, 2 touchdowns, and two interceptions. New England also struggled on the ground, managing just 79 rushing yards. And in a cruel twist of irony, it almost felt like the streaker covered more ground than the Patriots’ running backs in Super Bowl LX.
