Super Bowl 60 briefly halted by fan on the field

SANTA CLARA, CA — Super Bowl 60 was disrupted early in the fourth quarter when a fan bolted onto the field. 

A shirtless man ran on from the direction of the Seattle Seahawks end zone, briefly forcing a pause in the action. He ran a good length of the field as security tried to converge on him but actually split them on the opposite half of the field, spreading his arms in a victorious pose as he continued his sprint. As he approach another pocket of guards deploying to stop him, Patriots receiver Kyle Williams left his huddle and jogged toward the man in what appeared to be a half-hearted attempt to stop him. 

Williams stood near the fan as security finally apprehended the fan around the 10-yard line and took him away.

Coincidentally or not, the Patriots scored their first points of the night on a touchdown pass to Mack Hollins shortly thereafter.
