That certainly can happen. Fortunately, 100's of amateur and professional observations are recorded and submitted to the Minor Planet Center and are used to make adjustments to the comets orbit.

Headline is misleading to grab attention. Content confirms comet is "heading toward sun."

Like most astronomy articles, it is hyped up to say it is exploding and volcanic, but it is accurate that the comet is inbound toward the sun AND EARTH. Details and animations are available at theskylive.com showing it will pass between the earth and Mars next year.
