Eagles' sideline moment involving DeVonta Smith's fiancée sparks chatter during 33-26 win over Rams
Security guard on Lincoln Financial Field glances toward Mya Danielle as she visits the sideline during Sunday's game; DeVonta Smith and his fiancée have been public about their engagement since late 2024.
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles stayed undefeated Sunday, rallying to a 33-26 victory over the Los Angeles Rams at Lincoln Financial Field, in a game that also featured a sideline moment involving DeVonta Smith’s fiancée that drew online attention. A video circulating Monday shows Mya Danielle, wearing a gray jacket, matching shorts and black knee-high boots, walking along the Eagles’ sideline as a member of Lincoln Financial Field’s security appears to glance toward her as she passes near the bench area.
Smith, a 2021 first-round pick from Alabama who announced his engagement to Danielle in December 2024, celebrated the night with a contribution on the field. He scored his first touchdown of the season in the second half to help erase a halftime deficit. The moment on the sideline triggered social-media chatter, with Smith posting in the comments, "Aye security better watch out," accompanied by laughing-crying emojis. The clip underscores how personal milestones have become part of the game-day conversation in the social-media era.
Danielle has been a fixture at Eagles games since the couple’s engagement became public last winter. She has shared posts from the sideline and from the team’s run to the Super Bowl title, including a February tribute after Philadelphia’s championship win. The sight of the couple on the sideline, and the security guard’s reaction, added a human-interest thread to a game that otherwise centered on performance, strategy and the season’s early stakes.
Philadelphia’s comeback was powered by a 26-point second half after trailing 19-7 at halftime. Smith’s touchdown was among several plays that energized the offense, helping the Eagles secure a 3-0 start to the season. The victory came as the team heads to Tampa Bay next week, where Baker Mayfield’s 3-0 Buccaneers will provide another test for a club that has shown resilience in late-game situations and in maintaining momentum against strong opponents.
While the sideline moment drew online chatter, Sunday’s game was a reminder of how personal narratives intersect with competitive sports in the modern era. Danielle’s public arc — including a December 2024 engagement announcement and regular appearances at games — has become part of the broader fan experience around the Eagles during a championship-era run. The franchise’s focus remains on building depth, sustaining a high-powered offense and keeping pressure on opponents as the season unfolds.
