This Chargers fan’s incredibly giddy reaction to a late touchdown became an instant meme

Chargers Joe Buck Justin Herbert Cowboys NFL

Sports are very stressful. We all know this, whether it’s a tense playoff baseball inning or a late football drive with the game on the line. It’s a miracle any sports fans live past the age of 35 with how much stress we’re subjected to.

Tell that to this Los Angeles Chargers fan, who went through all of the emotions on Monday during the team’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. In the middle stages of the fourth quarter, the Chargers had the ball looking to get back even with the Cowboys, as they were down 17-10. On fourth and goal, the Chargers were able to get into the end zone on a connection between Justin Herbert and Gerald Everett, tying the game up with a little over seven minutes left.

During the drive, however, ESPN cameras caught a Chargers fan going through all of the emotions possible as the team lined up for the fourth and goal.

Then, after the touchdown, cameras panned back to the Chargers fan, who was having the time of her life celebrating!

There really is nothing better than sports joy, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, sports happiness is a fleeting thing, and the Chargers eventually fell to the Cowboys 20-17, ending on a Herbert interception that this fan was definitely disappointed about.

Brutal scene right there. Still, NFL fans absolutely attached onto this Chargers fan’s joyfully giddy reaction to the team’s late touchdown and turned it into a hilarious meme.
