Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a 240lb NFL defensive linesman hurtling towards the Earth.
Madden 15 launched this week and judging by this glitch, the developers probably should have spent a little bit longer working out the kinks before its release.
Watch as a St Louis Rams player delivers a rather innocuous looking hit that nearly sends someone into orbit. After being airborne for nearly five seconds, the anonymous player crashes back to the gridiron where he lies prone. This is only speculation but the agonising, vertebrae-disintegrating impact with the ground might mean that this player's season is over. Somehow, we don't think he's walking that one off.
You have to feel sorry for the player who broke free and delivered an amazing sack. The gravity-defying acrobatics stole his thunder a bit.
