Did Panthers player fall asleep on the sidelines during loss to Pittsburgh Steelers?

NFL players are famous for their sideline hijinks — from tantrums to sneaking a quick meal — but Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Kyle Love was being accused of something new after the team’s 52-21 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sports news outlets are asking if the 310-pound Love fell asleep during the Thursday night game, based on a video clip widely shared via Twitter, YouTube and the Carolina Panthers Fans Facebook page.

“Was he taking a nap? Praying? Thinking?” asked sports writer Larry Brown of writer of Yardbarker.
