Devynn Warns stood by Chism before his big NFL moment

The engagement followed a memorable stretch for the couple. Warns had been a regular presence at Patriots games, supporting Chism since his journey from undrafted free agent to the NFL. She previously played basketball as a shooting guard for Eastern Washington's women's team.

Her reaction to Chism's game-winning touchdown against Buffalo had already caught plenty of attention. With 1:50 left in the fourth quarter, the receiver hauled in a 23-yard pass from Maye with one hand to give New England the lead in a 29-26 road win.

Warns celebrated wildly from the front row at Highmark Stadium, shouting, “I just peed myself!” A video of the moment spread online, and she later shared it on Instagram.

“Forever reliving and replaying this moment!!!! doing Efton things!!!!!!,” she wrote.

Chism responded by thanking her for her support, commenting, “I love you sooooo much. Thank you for being so amazing.”
