The NFL‘s first weekend of playoff football was one of the most eventful in recent memory, littered with one-score decisions, road teams winning and drama.
One of only two games that wasn’t decided by one score — and the only game in which the two teams couldn’t crack 20 points combined — still had a sensational element on the sideline.
The New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, 16-3 on Sunday night, and Patriots cheerleader Jeremy Greer brought the house down with an exciting sideline display.
Fans were quick to flock to the viral video of Greer encouraging Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. So far videos of him on X alone have nearly 3 million views. Other videos of Greer throughout the season have anywhere from tens of thousands to millions of views on TikTok.

New England Patriots male cheerleader refuses to take responsibility for team’s decline
Former New England Patriots male cheerleader Steven Sonntag claims in an exclusive interview he had nothing to do with Tom Brady’s exit.
Greer has been active on Instagram throughout the season, showing his dance routine and supporting the Patriots. He posted before last weekend’s game against the Chargers.
With New England hosting the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round of the playoffs this Sunday afternoon, fans can expect to see Greer waving his arms and marching to the tune of his own drum.
Greer identifies as he/they and has documented his journey to accepting his sexuality and gender fluidity on his website. He has loved to dance since he was 8 years old and is no stranger to bullies harassing him about his femininity in public school in Houston, Texas.
If New England goes to Super Bowl LX, Greer has a chance to follow in the footsteps of Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies, the first male cheerleaders to perform in the Super Bowl in 2019 for the Los Angeles Rams.
Since then other male cheerleaders in the Super Bowl have included Jonathan Romero of the San Francisco 49ers and James for the Philadelphia Eagles.
