Christmas corgi race flusters, amazes fans at 49ers-Ravens game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Want to know how bad the 49ers’ 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens felt to the Faithful?

Not even cute, athletic, bandana-wearing corgis racing each other for Corgi Cup glory could cheer them up on Christmas.

At halftime, when the 49ers trailed just 16-12 and hope wasn’t yet lost, the squatty competitors strode on the Levi’s Stadium grass for a sprint into one of the end zones.

A dog named Tony reportedly defended his Corgi Cup title — a fact that became known to the national TV audience as highlights were aired in the fourth quarter to distract viewers from the 49ers’ then-21-point deficit.

Social media reaction to the corgi race interruption was mixed, with some fans popping off in anger and frustration, amateur comedians dropping dad jokes and various other tomfoolery.
