Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart handed a game ball off to a little girl after scoring a touchdown and she is at peak-excitement levels.
The Carolina Panthers opened up the first half of the divisional round playoffs by putting up 31-points against the Seattle Seahawks. But keeping true to the regular season tradition started by Panthers QB Cam Newton, RB Jonathan Stewart scored a touchdown and handed a game ball souvenir to the closest kid he could find. And it turned out to be this little girl:
Besides my heart filled with pride at a little girl sitting front row at a playoff game, but the elation on her face as she gets the ball from Stewart is enough to send goosebumps throughout your entire body.
While the Seahawks would come back in the second half to sort-of make a game of it, the good-karma train held intact as the Panthers move on to face the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship game. Which I’m sure was reason for more cheers for this little fan.
