The Seattle Seahawks mascot entered the stands during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. 

The mascot is a live hawk named Taima, and the team regularly unleashes the bird to fly around CenturyLink Field, ostensibly to get the crowd fired up.

Nothing unusual about that, right?

Only this time, the stunt backfired. The bird refused to go its handler after making a few laps, flying into the stands and landing on a fan.

This certainly adds a new dimension to the 12th Man's aura.
