Her heart rate was around 122 bpm. She shared a screenshot of the heart rate in the last slide of the post. Hoofnagle joined the NFL partners to cheer for the team and posed with them in the first slide of the post. In the third slide, she included a picture of her fiancé from the sidelines.

Hoofnagle also caught attention for her stylish custom-made outfit for game day. She wore a blue-and-white striped shirt that she matched with a black crop top and wide-leg, baggy, faded denim pants.

Her shirt had “Seahawks” printed on its back along with a team logo. She kept her hair open and completed her look with a transparent handbag and goggles, along with a few bracelets and a pendant.

However, it was a disappointing start for the Seahawks. They lost to the 49ers 17-13 in the first game. Sam Darnold recorded 150 yards in passing.
