And the encounter, which was caught on video, has now created a stir online.

Fans kept their distance, while the skunk searched in the stand and under the seats for food before hiding under a step. The whereabouts of the skunk are currently unknown, but many claimed that it worked as the lucky charm for the Browns, whose logo is 'Brownie the Elf.' A fan wrote, "Cleveland Browns had secret weapon today!" One more said, "Browns embracing the Rally Skunk." While another asked, "Did they unleash the new mascot early?"
