Halftime didn't mark a break in the action during "Sunday Night Football" ... as a group of mascots faced off against some youngins in a pickup game on the field -- and it didn't take long for chaos to ensue!!

The annual showdown -- which featured more highlights than the first half of the Vikings vs. Colts matchup -- served as intermission entertainment for fans ... but it was clear at least one furry creature wasn't taking it easy on the little ones.

Blue -- the Colts' mascot -- left it all out on the gridiron ... getting around a group of blockers and throwing one of the peewees to the ground.

Dak Prescott -- who signed a $240 million extension in September -- was caught red-handed trashin' his team (not necessarily unfairly) ... after TV cameras captured him saying "We f*****g suck" during the Cowboys game!

The unfiltered moment went down Sunday during the Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons game at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where Dallas lost 27-21.

Prescott -- who wasn't playing after he was banged up during the game -- was captured by TV cameras as the 'Boys were down 14 in the 4th quarter, knocking his team's performance.

NFL star Chris Olave suffered yet another head injury during the Saints' loss to the Panthers on Sunday ... and now his own brother is speaking out on his health -- saying it's simply not "worth it" to keep putting his body on the line in New Orleans.

The scary incident went down during the first quarter of the Saints' 23-22 defeat to the at the hands of Carolina ... when Derek Carr threw a pass downfield.

Olave narrowly missed securing the high toss ... and was met with a brutal blow from safety Xavier Woods, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness.

A college football game turned into a wild brawl in the stands with police officers beating the hell out of a couple of spectators, and it was partly caught on video.

The fight unfolded Saturday at the Florida Gators-Georgia Bulldogs matchup at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville after some football fans got into it and police responded to quell the disturbance.

Check out the footage ... two cops are going to town on two spectators, pulverizing them with their fists. A woman is seen freaking out, screaming at one officer, "Why are you punching him?"

Travis Kelce seemed to be having a grand ol' time at Taylor Swift's Indiana show Saturday night -- amid the controversy involving his brother Jason using a homophobic slur.

Travis and his buddy, Ross Travis, popped up at Taylor's "Eras" tour concert at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where they shared the VIP section with a group that included Taylor's mom, Andrea, and *NSYNC's Joey Fatone.

Check out the video ... Travis is having a blast with the others listening to Taylor crank out song after song from the stage. At one point, Travis is seen smiling and hugging a woman before heading over to chat with Andrea.

2:40 PM PT -- TMZ has just obtained exclusive video ... showing Jason clearly saying "Who is the f***** now?" 3 times to the person who first hurled the slur at him -- this after Jason got shoved to the ground by the dude.

12:56 PM PT -- More video has emerged from the incident involving Jason Kelce ... with the new angle showing the person whose phone Kelce smashed demanding it back.

Rob Gronkowski's girlfriend, Camille Kostek, says despite her and her man's close connection with Tom Brady, she wasn't given a heads up on Gisele Bündchen's new pregnancy ... but she says she's thrilled for model's incoming bundle of joy nonetheless.

TMZ Sports caught up with the S.I. Swimsuit star while she attended The Nights of the Jack world's biggest pumpkin event in Los Angeles earlier this week ... and she spoke with us about the shocking news that Bündchen is going to have a baby with Joaquim Valente.

Matthew Stafford's wife says she loves Taylor Swift, but initially wasn't too happy with the pop superstar crossing over into her world ... admitting the NFL's coverage of Travis Kelce's romance made her "jealous."

Kelly Stafford weighed in on the topic on her "The Morning After" podcast ... when she made it clear her issue wasn't with Swift at all, but more so how her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar was attracting a ton of buzz.

"I will say I kind of got tired of the Chiefs’ coverage of it, actually the NFL’s coverage, of this budding relationship last year," Stafford said. "And can she do anything about that? No, she can’t."

Aaron Rodgers is putting to bed any rumors he was shaded by Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans following the Jets 21-17 win on Thursday night ... saying the two dapped each other up -- the cameras just missed it!

Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee Show Friday morning ... where good buddy A.J. Hawk asked whether there was any beef between the two men after video began circulating online seemingly showing Ryans ignoring Rodgers after the clock hit 00:00.

Some fans speculated the alleged beef was due to AR's relationship with fired Jets HC, Robert Saleh, who is friends with DeMeco.

The 39-year-old was confused at first ... clearly not aware of the controversy. Then the guys pulled up the clip.

Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets kept their season on life support with a big win over C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans ... and the MVP of the game?? Well, it wasn't a player or coach ... it was water with cayenne pepper!

Rodgers (as he's pretty accustomed to) made news this week when he revealed he'd discovered "a little fountain of youth" with the drink, saying he added it to his rehab regimen for his ruptured Achilles.

Well, after Gang Green's 21-17 win over the current AFC South leaders, Rodgers and the teammate who recommended the drink to him, punter Thomas Morstead, posed together for a picture!

Adam Schefter had football fans in a tizzy after being accused of using an illegal streaming site to watch "Thursday Night Football" ... but sure enough, it wasn't what it looked like.

The longtime ESPN talent posted a clip of Jets receiver Malachi Corley's bone-headed fumble during the second quarter of New York's matchup with the Houston Texans ... but instead of focusing on the lowlight, folks noticed a MethStreams watermark in the top left corner of the video.

Naturally, that led people to assume Schefty didn't have an Amazon Prime membership and wanted to use other means to tune in to the action ... which would be a bad look for one of the biggest insiders in the league.

Halloween is still not even close to half over, but Macaulay Culkin might have already won it -- not only did he crush his Joe Burrow costume ... but he actually got a shoutout over it from the NFL star himself!

The "Home Alone" actor dressed on Wednesday as the Cincinnati quarterback for the October holiday ... completing his 'fit with a No. 9 jersey, some orange pants and a Bengals helmet.

Culkin was so happy with how it all turned out, he shared two snaps of him in the ensemble on his social media pages ... writing in the captions, "Game on @joeyb_9."

Bill Belichick-themed Halloween costumes are clearly in this year -- not only are his current and former lovers dressing up as him for the October holiday ... so is his colleague, Ryan Clark!!

The former Pittsburgh Steelers safety rocked a realistic Belichick 'fit while appearing on Wednesday's episode of "Inside the NFL" ... complete with a wig and, of course, a cut-sleeve Patriots hoodie.

Clark did an impression of Bill while in the get-up too -- going off on a bit of a "Do your job!" rant to open the show.

Dallas Cowboys star Trevon Diggs just said sorry to the reporter he hit over the weekend with a "deez nuts" quip ... fittingly using some cans of peanuts to issue the mea culpa.

The cornerback and WFAA's Mike Leslie first got into their beef on Sunday night ... after the journalist made a social media post that appeared to call out Diggs' effort during a play in the Cowboys' 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Diggs came out of Dallas' locker room irate with Leslie ... and yelled at him for several seconds. He then stormed off while shouting at the media member, "Talk about these nuts."

As one of Bill Belichick's former lovers used her Halloween costume to shade the legendary NFL coach ... his current girlfriend praised him with hers -- mimicking one of his old-school looks!!

Jordon Hudson hit Disney World this week with friends for one of their engagement celebrations ... and given that All Hallow's Eve is Thursday -- she and her gal pals decided to rock costumes during their day at Mickey's place.

For her 'fit, Hudson paid homage to her 72-year-old boyfriend ... emulating a look he once wore when he was an assistant on the New York Giants' staff back in the 1980s.

Christian McCaffrey apparently can't have a little Halloween spirit while he nurses his injury ... 'cause the 49ers superstar adorably showed off his couples costume with his wife, Olivia Culpo -- and fantasy football owners ain't having it.

CMC and OC chose to be the Tin Man and Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" this year ... even getting in character for a few TikToks to really bring it home.

In fact, they got their adorable pup, Oliver Sprinkles, to be Toto!!
