While everyone was distracted by the NFL on Sunday, they’re dealing with a serious situation in Dallas, Texas as medical officials try to deal with the first confirmed Ebola patient in the United States. The Jacksonville Jaguars mascot on Sunday made a pretty bad joke during their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

He held in one hand a Terrible Towel, a symbol and accessory of Steelers fan every where, and a sign that said those towels carry Ebola in the other hand. A joke made with intentions of simply being humorous and certainly not malicious, but the Jaguars organization went ahead and apologized for the sign and joke.

You can see the sign below:
