Angel Reese’s injury might have brought an abrupt end to her rookie season, but she surely did not let it affect her beyond the unavoidable. NFL games, concerts, VSS fashion show, or podcast recordings, the Chi-Town Barbie has lived it all in the past month; ensuring to light up every event with her presence. But what stands out the most is her attendance at NFL games. Why?

After Baltimore’s win, Reese is being considered a good luck charm. So far, Reese has attended four NFL games, and her supported team has won every single one. First, the 22-year-old Maryland native attended two games for Baltimore this season, where the team went 2-0.
For the Chicago Bears, Reese’s new home NFL team, they are 1-0 in the game she attended at Soldier Field. Even at a showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, Reese amped up the crowd at SoFi Stadium with her presence. That game also resulted in a Week 3 home win, marking the Rams’ only win this season. However, the standout stat is the Ravens’ 2-0 record in games Reese has attended. Yet, the Chicago Sky standout isn’t fully satisfied. Now she has a new demand for the Ravens this season.

“I want to see more wins,” Reese told GloRilla in a recent episode of her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel’. “I want to see us in the Super Bowl. I want to go to New Orleans and see us in the Super Bowl, and I want to see more game day fits,” Reese added.
It’s not an unjust demand. Having played their first game in 1996, the Ravens have won the Super Bowl twice, in 2001 and 2013. However, the Ravens have been experiencing a drought for the past eleven years. But maybe not anymore, as Reese will be there to support her home team—except for one game.
For Sunday’s game, she was also there for the opponent team’s quarterback.
During the October 13th game, Chicago Sky standout Angel Reese attended the Ravens’ Week 6 game against the Washington Commanders. Before the game started, she was spotted on the sidelines with Commanders’ quarterback Jayden Daniels’ mother, Regina Jackson. After the game, Reese took to her official Instagram account and posted a couple of pictures with his mother.
“I’m here for the Ravens, of course, but we’re here for 5,” she wrote alongside selfies showing off her pregame fit. It was her custom Baltimore Ravens jersey that caught viewers’ attention. To add more, she had Reese written on the back with number 5 — not just her WNBA number but also Daniels’ — on a purple jersey. The two have played for LSU, with about two years overlapping their run. So the support wasn’t much of a shocker.
Though the Ravens ended on the winning side 30-23, Daniels threw for a career-high 269 yards. So the Chi-Town Barbie turned out to be a “lucky charm” either way. But the bigger aim for her, of course, is still the Ravens. They now stand at 4-2, with four consecutive wins. Will it help lead them to the Super Bowl?
