The Westwood One announcer's animated booth reaction came on Adams' 31-yard touchdown catch during the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants.
Veteran broadcaster Kevin Harlan delivered an animated booth reaction during Monday night's game between the Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants, leaping from his seat after a Davante Adams touchdown.
On the Rams' second drive, Matthew Stafford threw a low side-arm pass over the middle to Adams, who ran untouched into the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown. Harlan, calling the game for Westwood One, thrust his fists into the air and threw his body into the celebration while making the call.
Adams finished with eight catches for 195 yards and two touchdowns as the Rams routed the Giants 28-6. The touchdown was the 15th scoring connection between Stafford and Adams as teammates.
The performance followed a difficult season opener for Los Angeles, a 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia.
Harlan has a history of memorable booth moments, including leaping from his seat while calling Drake Maye's late interception in Seattle's 13-10 season-opening win over New England, and a well-known reaction to Furman's NCAA Tournament upset of Virginia.
