Van Jefferson went from celebrating winning the Super Bowl alongside his teammates to suddenly rushing to the hospital.

In what many would have thought would be a strange turn of events, the trip is for the unusual happy news that comes out of the medical building. His wife, Samaria, was rushed to the hospital mid-game as she went into labor.

The wide receiver grabbed his daughter as she and Jefferson’s father came onto the field, sprinted through the locker room and is headed to join his wife before she gives birth to their son, per The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue.
