Sunday was quite the night for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson. The second-year pro hauled in four receptions in the Rams' Super Bowl 56 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but he had to cut the celebration short for an exciting reason:
His wife, Samaria, was rushed to the hospital to give birth to the couple's son.
As the Rams players were celebrating on the field at SoFi Stadium, a staff member with the Los Angeles Rams alerted Jefferson that his wife was at the hospital. NFL Films captured the mic'd-up moment of Jefferson finding out the big news and telling his kids that it was time to go.
