Overview

• In Cleveland, a bright green sex toy landed on the turf during the Browns–Bengals game’s second quarter, appearing to come from the Dawg Pound before an official tossed it to the sideline and play continued.
• A similar device was thrown into the end zone during the Dolphins–Colts game in Indianapolis, where security quickly removed it without a stoppage.
• The trend originated this summer in the WNBA, where multiple games were disrupted and several spectators were arrested, and the league publicly pledged cooperation with local and federal law enforcement.
• One WNBA defendant, identified as Charles Burgess, faces 10 charges including second‑degree attempted assault after a young fan was struck during a New York game.
• Betting site BetOnline.ag has posted novelty props on whether more devices will hit NFL fields in Week 2, while a cryptocurrency group has claimed involvement in earlier stunts with no confirmed link to the NFL incidents.
