Last Saturday, a scary situation in South Carolina was avoided as police talked a man off a bridge or highway overpass by talking Redskins and South Carolina Gamecocks football.

The video was captured by the Columbia Police department and edited by The State.

It appears the officers discussing the Redskins-Cowboys rivalry and his hatred of Dallas helped save the man's life.

It is an all-around scary situation and thankfully no one was hurt.
