What an exciting time to be a fan cheering on your team.
During Monday night’s Cowboys-Chargers game, ESPN’s cameras frequently focused on a passionate fan donning a Justin Herbert jersey. She appeared visibly anxious during the fourth quarter, sparking speculation about whether she might be an “industry plant.”
However, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has now put the conspiracy theory to rest. The Chargers fan who became a viral sensation on Monday night is, indeed, a genuine supporter of the franchise.

“Sorry, conspiracy theorists: The Chargers fan who went viral Monday night and her husband are season ticket holders who rent cabana suites every season for multiple games, I’m told,” Pelissero wrote on X. “They’re true diehard fans — not actors — and wanted to get the word out.”
In the end, the Cowboys emerged victorious with a final score of 20-17, led by Dak Prescott’s exceptional performance, amassing 272 passing yards, 40 rushing yards, and two total touchdowns. They are now looking forward to a Week 7 bye.
Meanwhile, the Chargers are gearing up to face the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium before returning home for a showdown with the Bears.
We may very well encounter the viral fan from Monday night’s game when the Chargers take the field at SoFi Stadium on October 29. This entire story was tailor-made for the internet.
