San Francisco 49ers stars George Kittle and Kyle Juszczcyk jumped into the stands to celebrate with their wives after scoring a touchdown, leading their team to a 36-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.
Kittle had just scored his second touchdown of the game, but he seemed to be done celebrating before teammate Juszczcyk pulled him back and pointed to nearby seats.
Kittle immediately spotted his wife, Claire, who was sitting next to Juszczcyk's partner, Kristin. The teammates ran together and jumped up to hug their wives, who were laughing hysterically.
Moments after Kittle's score, Juszczcyk sprung into action and celebrated his touchdown by jumping toward Kristin and passing her the touchdown pass.
“What a nice guy, great friend,” Kittle, who turned 31 on Wednesday, joked on Amazon Prime to Juszczcyk, reminding him of where his wife was sitting. “It was convenient that our wives were together. And then he did it – even better.

Claire shared a video of the moment on Instagram, shot by a nearby friend, with the caption: “Touchdown GEORGE!! Package deal.
Juszczcyk shared a video of the moment on her Instagram Story with the caption: “Best night ever.”
Kristin even shared a video on social media before the game in which she urged her husband to celebrate with her if she scored a touchdown.
“Claire and I can't wait to see one of Kyle and George score,” she said. 'Hurry up! We are here!
Thursday night's victory moved the 49ers to 3-3 on the season and tied with the Seahawks atop the NFC West.
Quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 255 yards with three touchdowns, and Deebo Samuel also scored a TD for his team on a 76-yard pass from Purdy.
There were still some tense moments in San Francisco. The 49ers built a 20-point lead early in the second half, and the Seahawks tied the game twice.
More good news for the Niners is that their star Christian McCaffrey is expected to return to the team in November.
McCaffrey has missed all of his team's games so far this season due to tendonitis in both Achilles tendons.
They will then face the Kansas City Chiefs on October 20 in a rematch of last year's Super Bowl in California.

They will then face the Dallas Cowboys on October 27, followed by a bye week that could potentially end with McCaffrey returning to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 10.
Last season, Kristin Jusczcyk designed Chiefs-themed jackets for Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes to wear in their playoff game against the Miami Dolphins.
They had the jersey numbers of their partners, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
