Working on the sideline of NFL games is a job that comes with a lot of perks like meeting players, a great view of the game and maybe even the occasional free Gatorade. Unfortunately, there is also one very big downside as one Gillette Stadium worker learned last night.

Smith helped the worker up and she appeared to be unharmed, but she will also probably be keeping a closer on the action for the next Pats home game.
