The Jacksonville Jaguars mascot, Jaxson de Ville, continues to risk it all this season with a thrilling bungee-jumping backflip before kickoff — but on Sunday the daring cat had to be bailed out after his cord got stuck in the air.
Video from Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons showed the mascot starting off with a perfect backflip, only to stop abruptly on the way down.
FALCONS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF JAGUARS’ MISTAKES IN 21-14 VICTORY
Users on social media posted videos of the mascot being lowered into the stands among fans – unharmed.
Jaxson de Ville’s stunt may have been an omen for Sunday’s game as the Jaguars lost their ninth game of the season, with a 21-14 final score.
