Such was the case of one woman out in Northampton County, who decided to take out her frustration with the team on her girlfriend's dog, according to a report.

Kirsten J. Gaskins of Philadelphia went out to the Best Western Hotel in Hanover Township with her girlfriend as a getaway to watch the game, The Morning Call reports. But she got drunk, Drew Brees was on fire, Nick Foles threw an interception, and things quickly spiraled.

As they began to fight, Gaskins reportedly threatened to kill the dog if her girlfriend left.

She fled before police arrived. Authorities found the dog, a white Pomeranian, unharmed inside the microwave, the report states. The microwave was not turned on but there was not enough room for the dog to move and there was limited air.
