Aqib Talib took a tumble while crashing NFL Network set after Super Bowl 50
Perhaps the best moment of Super Bowl 50 for Denver cornerback Aqib Talib came after it was over.
He tried to run onto the set of the NFL Network’s live broadcast and fell on his butt after the Broncos’ 24-10 win over Carolina.

The first half, however, was flat-out brutal.
He drew an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty for talking trash, later tackled Corey Brown by grabbing his facemask and throwing him to the ground. The Panthers scored a touchdown on the drive and Talib, the former Kansas star, was offsides on the extra-point attempt.

Talib’s favorability rating took a huge hit:
Talib, eat a Snickers, dude. #SB50

Talib of @Broncos has had a history of problems & he is getting loads of PR in Super Bowl thus far 4 all the wrong reasons .

In the third quarter, Talib is going to pistol whip someone.

They should just kick Talib out of the game already.

The real battle right now is between Talib and the commercials. Which one can turn their night around?

That Talib facemask was right up there with Danny Amendola.

Aqib Talib would be ejected if Roger Goodell's two-personal-foul rule gets implemented.

Talib doing a great job of ruining the whole “Panthers are the villains” vibe in this game.

Talib is trying not to finish this game #SuperBowl50

When I see a flag now, I just assume Aqib Talib did something stupid. Even if he's not on the field.
