During the Los Angeles Rams' 24-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Monday, Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner delivered a vicious hit, and it wasn't on a 49ers player. Wagner trucked a streaker who ran onto the field with a pink flare which interrupted the game in the second quarter.

The clip went viral, with many people defending and commending Wagner for his actions. The fan was absolutely leveled as he took a hit from one of the hardest-hitting professional linebackers in the sport.

TMZ reported that the fan who got hit by Wagner suffered a concussion during the collision. Alexander Taylor, the streaker who was hit, filed a police report to the Santa Clara Police Department declaring that he had suffered a headache as a result of the hit.

After the game, Wagner spoke to the media and said he took the fan down because he didn't know what he could have had on him. Head coach Sean McVay supported Wagner's actions.

Fans on social media showed no sympathy for the person who ran onto the field during the game, as they defended Wagner in a series of tweets. Here's how Twitter users reacted to the news:

Davante Adams had a simliar but different situation as Bobby Wagner

Another Monday night, another lawsuit filed in the NFL.

At the conclusion of last night's Monday Night Football game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs, Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams pushed a cameraman to the ground as he walked off the field after suffering a 30-29 loss.

Both cases are different, but involve a police report filed against NFL players.

While Wagner is likely not to face any fines or suspensions, the same can't be said for Adams, and it will be interesting to see how that situation plays out.
