Los Angeles Rams star Bobby Wagner went viral Monday night after he leveled a fan who ran onto the field during the game against the San Francisco 49ers. That fan decided to file a police report as a result.

TMZ reported the fan filed a report with the Santa Clara Police Department on Tuesday, alleging “blatant assault” by two Rams players. Two fans jumped from their seats in the second quarter with pink smoke bombs, but only one made it onto the field. That fan ended up getting tackled by Wagner and Takkarist McKinley.

Wagner was asked about the report during his media availability on Wednesday, and he said he knows about it and shared his side of what happened.

“Can’t really focus on it,” he said. “I’m more concerned about the security guard that was hurt trying to chase him and the people that was … we don’t know what that is and you just gotta do what you gotta do.”

Rams head coach Sean McVay also defended Wagner’s actions considering the circumstances.

“We all know where Bobby’s intentions were, and I support Bobby Wagner,” McVay said.

Peyton, Eli Manning celebrate Bobby Wagner obliterating fan on field during Monday Night Football

The San Francisco 49ers led the Los Angeles Rams 14-6 in Monday night’s primetime matchup and did a solid job of keeping the 49ers’ offense limited, except for an impressive catch and run by Deebo Samuel. On that play, the Los Angeles defense failed to take the San Francisco star down.

However, two of Los Angeles’s star defenders made up for it with an impressive tackle when the defense wasn’t even on the field.

Linebackers Bobby Wagner and Takkarist McKinley teamed up to take down a streaker who had made his way onto the field. The takedown drew cheers from the opposing 49ers fans and brothers Eli and Peyton Manning on their Monday night Manningcast.

“Yes! Yes! That’s what we’re talking about,” Peyton Manning shouted.
