Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders suffered one of the most devastating hits you'll ever see during his team's 22-7 loss to the St. Louis Rams on in NFL action on Sunday.
How bad was the hit? In a decidedly 21st century twist, Sanders posted a selfie to Twitter on Monday to clear up something of a misunderstanding on Wikipedia.

None of this would be remotely funny if Sanders had suffered anything more serious than a concussion. The hit by Rams safety Rodney McLeod was both breathtaking and disturbing in its level of violence. Behold what happened as a defenseless Sanders laid out to try to catch a long pass from Peyton Manning -- but don't say we didn't warn you.
It didn't take long for some joker to edit Sanders' Wikipedia page so it read that he died on Sunday in St. Louis (which is, in fact, a sports prank we've seen before).

But lest less savvy Internet users forget that Wikipedia is made of user-generated content that anyone can edit, Sanders used Twitter on Monday afternoon to set the record straight with -- what else? -- a selfie.
