Monica Taylor, the wife of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, gave a sneak peek at what fans didn’t see on the ESPN broadcast on “Monday Night Football” in a video on Instagram Thursday.
After cameras caught the couple showing some PDA, Monica shared her own footage from the Dolphins’ 27-21 victory over the Jets at Miami on Sept. 29.
Monica and Jason, a former NFL Defensive Player of the Year with the Dolphins, appeared to be caught off guard when ESPN showed her sitting on his lap during the fourth quarter in a private suite at Hard Rock Stadium. She hurried to get up and move to her seat as they shook off the awkward moment.
“Hubby was the honorary captain for the Dolphins,” Monica captioned the video, which included a clip of her and the couple’s son, Jordan, on the sidelines before kickoff.
Monica and Jason, who’s in his third season as the University of Miami’s defensive line coach, were there to support his son, Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor, against the team he starred for in the 1990s and 2000s.
The former NFL star co-parents Mason, Isaiah and Zoe with his ex.
Monica, who is a fashion entrepreneur and vice president of the Jason Taylor Foundation, and Jason celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in August.
Other clips showed the family’s private suite stocked with food and drinks.
“Mase had a great game!” Monica added.
Mason had five receptions for 65 yards on seven targets in the best outing of his young career.
Monica did not address the viral moment in her video.
Some on social media were quick to liken it to the infamous Coldplay kiss cam moment that outed a couple’s affair — however, that clearly didn’t happen as the couple has been married since 2020.
Jason’s sister, former Fox Sports host Joy Taylor, seemed to joke about it in the comments.
“Love seeing you have a lovely time with your HUSBAND 😂😂😂 so fun,” she wrote, including a few crying-laughing emojis.
Jason did not address it publicly.
He was a six-time NFL Pro Bowl selection and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 – his first year of eligibility. He finished his career with Miami in 2011.
