Rally Squirrel is the chillest squirrel you’ll ever see.
As the Philadelphia Eagles were down 21-14 during NFL pre-season action against the Miami Dolphins tonight, an attention-seeking squirrel scampered onto the field.
It even paused at the 25-yard line, laying down on the field. For a really long time.

But it was the comic relief – or boost – the Eagles needed to keep it going in the 2nd quarter.
The Eagles went on to defeat the Dolphins 38-31.
But we know who the real player of the game was.
