It came up a little short of the end zone.

The funniest part of this whole incident: the sportscasters initially thought it was a penalty flag.

The Sunday afternoon showdown between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots came to a halt briefly when someone tossed a dildo out onto the field. The airborne sex toy landed just outside the Patriots' end zone.

While the sportscasters might have had a hard time discerning exactly what it was -- or maybe they just didn't want to say it -- the fan that threw it had perfect aim. Anyone watching at home clearly saw a dildo come sailing into the camera frame just as play stopped.

This most perfect Vine (R.I.P.) catches a miraculous NFL moment of the sort that could only happen at a Bills game:

As if the whole fake-penis-visibly-flops-around-on-field thing isn't enough, the NFL officials' solution to removing the offending sex toy is even better.

Side judge Keith Washington bravely stepped up to the fallen sex toy and... he kicked it. Then he kicked it again. One attendee captured it all on video as the dildo bounced out of bounds and then, finally, out of view.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter seized onto this momentous occurrence with its usual comedic gusto.
