Super Bowl LX was a defensive struggle for most of the night, but the moment people kept talking about had nothing to do with a touchdown. In the third quarter at Levi’s Stadium, with the New England Patriots already trailing the Seattle Seahawks by three scores, a shirtless fan ran onto the field and stopped play. The Patriots were trying to mount some kind of comeback. Instead, the game paused while security chased the intruder across the turf. What made the scene even more surprising was who joined the pursuit.
Kyle Williams takes matters into his own hands during Super Bowl LX field invasion
The fan appeared to be promoting a day trader known for past Super Bowl stunts. He managed to outrun several security guards and nearly made it the length of the field. That is when Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams decided he had seen enough. Williams, who ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash at last year’s NFL Combine, sprinted after the fan and quickly gained ground. Realizing he could not escape, the streaker slid near the 10 yard line. Security then stepped in, detained him and escorted him off the field.
The man had “@FXAlexG” and “Trade with Athena” written on his back, along with “Trade in the blind spot” on his chest. FAlexG is the Instagram handle of day trader Alex Gonzalez, who has been involved in similar chaos before.
During the 2024 Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium, Gonzalez and Sebastian Riviera ran onto the field during the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers matchup. They were later taken into custody at the Clark County Detention Center on misdemeanor charges for prohibited conduct at a sporting event. After his release, Gonzalez admitted he had “literally just paid $42,000 to go to jail,” saying he had long dreamed of making it onto the field during a Super Bowl.
Television viewers never saw the Super Bowl LX interruption. Networks cut away from the action, a long-standing policy designed to avoid giving field invaders the attention they want. As a result, every angle of Williams chasing the streaker came from fans inside the stadium. Ironically, it became one of Williams’ most memorable moments of the night. He finished with just one catch on two targets for seven yards.
The Seahawks controlled the game overall. They built a good lead in the first half with three field goals and never truly lost command. After the delay, the Patriots briefly showed life. Drake Maye threw a touchdown to Mack Hollins, and later Rhamondre Stevenson added a receiving score.
But Seattle’s defense shut the door. The Seahawks sacked Maye six times and sealed a 29-13 win. New England managed only 79 rushing yards, and the championship belonged to Seattle.
