If you’re standing anywhere on the field during an NFL game, your eye needs to be on the game. That includes folks standing on the sidelines.

Sometimes, that isn’t even enough.

During Sunday’s NFL matchup between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, one ball boy learned that the hard way. As players headed toward the sideline, the ball boy failed to get out of the way quick enough and was trampled by some pretty big dudes.

Yeah, that probably didn’t feel too good.

That ball boy may request to where a helmet and shoulder pads during the next game. At least he was paying attention to the play. That could’ve been a lot uglier.
