The 2025 Patriots season was a success. You can still feel sick about its ending.

The Patriots defense was very good, even sensational at times, but couldn’t force that needed big mistake
During the fourth quarter of the Patriots’ loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, a shirtless man ran onto the field waving his arms as he dodged those who were chasing him.
There was one man, however, who he couldn’t outrun. Patriots rookie receiver Kyle Williams chased the streaker down. The shirtless man lost his footing and fell to the ground where several people helped subdue him and lead him off of the field.
According to TMZ, a spokesperson from the Santa Clara Police Department said he was arrested on suspicion of two charges: trespassing and field intrusion. Police have yet to identify the suspect to the public.
Williams is one of the Patriots’ fastest players. He ran a 4.40-second 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, which was slightly faster than fellow New England rookie TreVeyon Henderson’s mark of 4.43.
The third round pick out of Washington State caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday’s Super Bowl.
He’s not the first Patriot to help stop a Super Bowl streaker. Matt Chatham tackled a streaker during Super Bowl XXXVIII, the second of New England’s title wins back in 2004.
Chatham weighed in on the fan’s decision to run on the field with a post on X.
“I get tagged a lot for this, of course,” Chatham said. “But I will never get paying the often-asinine price of a ticket &/or having the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be there, then doing this bulls*** to get kicked out and have to leave the game. It will never not be loser behavior.”
