Social media is in stitches over a viral image of a Denver Broncos fan dealing with a raccoon that invaded the stadium during Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Several images and videos surfaced of a raccoon running around a seating section of Empower Field at Mile High while the Denver Broncos hosted their AFC West rivals in Week 5.

The Broncos fans in that section got more than they bargained for, but they also got to watch their team pick up a third straight victory with a 34-18 win over the Raiders.
