Despite all of Jaxson de Ville's efforts and performed stunts, the Jaguars still lost 21-14 on Sunday to the Atlanta Falcons, already their ninth loss of the season.
Jaxson de Ville, the Jacksonville Jaguars mascot, has been risking it all this season with a thrilling bungee-jumping backflip before kickoff, but the adventurous cat had to be bailed out on Sunday after becoming trapped in the air.
The mascot started off with a beautiful backflip in videos from Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, but his cord appeared to get stuck on the way down.
Users on social media shared footage of the uninjured mascot being lowered into the stands amid the spectators.
Easily one of the most dedicated mascots in the NFL 💪 🤣@Jaguars | #DUUUVAL pic.twitter.com/kDrgt8aF7h

However, the mascot's failed stunt is a rare occurrence, as the jump is a regular feature at the Florida team's games.
Whoa - nice stunt @Jaxson_De_Ville 🙌🙌🙌

The Falcons led 14-0 and then 21-3 after Matt Ryan's touchdown pass to Russell Gage, but the Jaguars fought back late.

Trevor Lawrence connected with James O'Shaughnessy for a 2-point conversion and a touchdown pass to Tavon Austin. In the fourth quarter, Matthew Wright added a 34-yard field goal to make it a one-score game.
With 2:14 remaining, Jacksonville forced a punt and got the ball back, but Lawrence failed to complete a pass on four consecutive downs.
