Many people on the internet thought a Jacksonville Jaguars fan who was caught on camera going wild during Monday Night Football was a NFL “plant.”
She wasn’t, and now she has been identified.
It seems that this year, in addition to the NFL being rigged conspiracy theories, there are numerous people out there who think the league is planting people in the stands to show how passionate NFL fans are when cameras are trained on them.
First, it was Los Angeles Chargers fan Merianne Do. It turned out that she had absolutely no ties to the NFL other than being a very, very excitable person when she roots on her team.
Now, another fan who showed tremendous passion during the Jake Browning shootout with C.J. Beathard has had to deal with the same sort of scrutiny.
Is the #NFL planning to make her the next face of the league, just like the “#Chargers fan” lady pic.twitter.com/KX42AOvUch

Granted, anyone who was so invested in a match-up of the Bengals and Jaguars is automatically going to be under suspicion, but there are actually people out there who do care about those teams.
“NFL is literally WWE at this point,” one fan commented.
“Definitely a plant,” read another comment.
“Paid actor just like the Chargers fan,” someone else wrote.
It turns out that that last comment was actually half right.
No, she wasn’t a paid actor, but she was just like the Chargers fan in that she was legit in her emotions during the game.
It also turns out that she had a very good reason to be so fired up. She’s married to one of the Jaguars players.
Her name is Alexandra Sanders and her husband is Jaguars defensive end Adam Gotsis.

She is also a wedding officiant…

So there you go. Jaguars fan identified.
