San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was extremely emotional on the sideline after a long touchdown catch Sunday.
After the game, it became clear just why.
Goodwin said on his Instagram page that his wife, Morgan Goodwin-Snow, lost their baby boy due to complications during pregnancy early Sunday morning.
"Although we are hurt, I am grateful for the experience and grateful that God blessed me with a wife as courageous and resilient as Morgan," Marquise Goodwin said on Instagram. "The pain (physically, mentally, & emotionally) that she has endured is unbelievable. Please Pray for the Goodwin family."
Quarterback C.J. Beathard connected with Goodwin on an 83-yarder that was the team's longest TD pass in 12 years and contributed to San Francisco's first win of the season.
As Goodwin ran into the end zone, he blew a kiss to the sky. He then sank to his knees and made the sign of the cross. While he rested his head on the grass, several teammates knelt by his side.

PATHETIC — The NFL & their players are practically begging for Sympathy.
I don’t think we need to be mean to a guy that just lost a baby. Yes, the media is pulling out the emotional stops, but let it be. Just say a prayer for his family and move on.
If they really weren't military they committed a crime by dressing as such. Should be checked out.
"Who cares"! Too little, too late!
The nfl, its "games", their "scores", the players are ALL totally irrelevant and utterly meaningless.
The nfl has become like the ancient gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus; the famous gladiators and the charioteers of "renoun" from the ancient Roman Empire.
Their arenas are nothing but crumbling ruins and who can recall or name any of their "famous" gladiators or charioteers? The answer is no one! This is the fate that awaits the once "glorious" nfl:
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear --
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
Percy Bysshe Shelley
This is the future that awaits the nfl, and they destroyed it all with their own hands!
ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY, THAT IS ALL!
They literally strangled to death their fan base "goose that laid all of their billion dollar nfl solid gold eggs" with their own hands. The goose is permanently dead and they killed it! Now, all too late they want to put Humpty Dumpy back together again and resurrect the goose from the dead.
This is rich, the National Felon League chose to side and kneel with hate America, only blm, sjw, hate whitey, communist anarchists over America and their own nfl fan base and now their fan base has been totally alienated and the very monsters they willingly aligned themselves with have turned on them and are now eating them alive.
All too late the nfl has awoken to the reality that the entire league, has an INCURABLE CASE OF SELF INFLICTED FINANCIAL EBOLA and is hemorrhaging money out of every conceivable orafice to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A WEEK with no way out and no end in sight.
And now, all too late, Jerry and the rest are vainly trying to resurrect the goose and put Humpty Dumpy back together again.
There is only one problem with their plan: their mask of contrived, ersatz "love of country" and "patriotism" has fallen off and permanently shattered, and they have shown us all their REAL FACE and what they REALLY THINK about their fans and our country:
THEY LITERALLY HATE AND DESPISE US; ALL THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT IS THE MONEY! TAKING O U R MONEY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THEIR OPULENT, SELF-ABSORBED, SELF-INDULGENT, EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLES AT THEIR FANS (and tax payers) EXPENSE.
The once financially lucrative nfl is circling the toilet bowl into obscurity and is quickly becoming totally irrelevant and financially worthless.
We choose to STAND with Americans for America; we choose love of country, we choose patriotism, we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "huddle up", "bend the knee" and subjugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the black racist, socialist, sjw, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
They want us to compromise our patriotism, our love of country, flag and nation and symbolically join the NFL in show of rebellious "unity" but "What fellowship does light have with darkness, good with evil (and subjugation for the sake of 'unity')?"
The answer is a resounding NOTHING! We can have no "unity" with those who hate our nation, its flag, its values and with those who despise us.
The anti-American National Felon League has, to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".
We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.
Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with the nfl and those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.
We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us by the nfl and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
It turns out Goodwin was 1 of only 3 NFL players to take a knee during the National Anthem yesterday.
For the record, the locking arms during the National Anthem ss absolute disrespect to the flag and indicates they are "locked in arms against the United States".
Screw him and all the NFL.
My late wife and I lost 5 babies before our daughter came along.
We kept our loses in the family and friends.
This happens every day to REAL America...who gives a shart about these aholes.
Seattle's Michael Bennett (one of the league's protest ring leaders) stood for the National Anthem on Sunday.
He said he respects the veterans and it was Veteran's Day week end.
I guess we can forgive his collaborators and him now. /sarc
The couple lost their fetus.
PC Correctness, please.
( Sorry for their loss their baby)
Goodwin was the other 49er besides Eric Reid to kneel during the National Anthem.
/shrug
I know there is some kind of penalty that is enforced when the players celebrate in the endzone so they need to get their “reffing” game up and running.
Unless the League owners (who pay the refs) dont want certain penalties called on certain occasions to manipulate how the public perceives them...........
Now touchdowns require emotional death to make them exciting and draw fans?
Same here. F em. Another stupid emotional article to make me come back.
How much hard cash would some one have to pay you be absent from the wife that you love who had just lost her baby?
Its not a difficult or rhetorical question.
Some folks actually had to ask themselves this this morning befor they went to work.
In related news, an Antifa flag-burner has a sick grandmother.
Also in the news, an ISIS terrorist needs a new kidney.

Sorry, I have no idea who they were or even if they were real military or from some academy. They looked too old to be kids, though.
