TRAGEDY FOR NINER WR

-

Niners receiver Marquise Goodwin sprinted into the end zone for an 83-yard touchdown reception against the Giants on Sunday. And his heart was broken. Just hours earlier, Goodwin, 26, and his wife Morgan had lost a baby due to complicati­ons of the pregnancy.

“Unfortunat­ely we lost our baby boy due to some complicati­ons, and had to prematurel­y deliver him early this morning around 4am,” Goodwin posted on Instagram after the game. “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. The pain (physically, mentally and emotionall­y) that she has endured is unbelievab­le. Please Pray for the Goodwin family.”

Goodwin’s post explains why he was so emotional on the sideline after the score. Goodwin had his head down for a long while as coaches and players were walking over to speak with him.

It turns out they were consoling a heartbroke­n man.
