Derrick Henryhad a slight wardrobe malfunction after he was tackled during a Ravens game that aired live onThursday Night Football.

During the Baltimore’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals at home on Nov. 7, the 30-year-old running back was making an aggressive run during the fourth quarter when Bengals' defensive tackle B.J. Hill tackled him — and pulled down his opponent’s pants in the process.

According toSports Illustrated, Henry’s bare bottom was briefly shown on Amazon Prime’s broadcast of the game, although he quickly pulled up his uniform back on.

NFL fans and commentators had nothing but jokes after the wardrobe malfunction, and a clip of the moment went viral on social media.

“I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often,” another commenter wrote.

Despite the awkward moment, Henry and the rest of the Ravens took home a win after a close game, finishing 35-34. Maintaining his status as one of the best running backs in the league, Henry had 68 yards rushing and a touchdown, giving him 1,120 yards overall, perESPN.

Henry’s rushes this season have also made headlines for reasons other than his wardrobe: many pundits — as well as his teammate andfellow MVP contender Lamar Jackson— have predicted that he could surpass Eric Dickerson’s 1984 season rushing record of 2,105 yards.

According toSports Illustrated, the running back would have to average 123.2 yards per game over his the last 10 games of the season, but Ravens quarterback Jackson has said he believes Henry can do it. “I feel like he has a great chance of achieving that,” hesaid during a press conferencein October. “I believe he can do it.”
