Nussmeier earned the call having been on the Philadelphia Eagles staff that won the Super Bowl.

Ashlynn attended the game and celebrated with her father on the field afterwards.

She shared some family pics from the glorious night at the Superdome on Instagram.

And Ashlynn will be hoping to return to the NFL's showpiece game to cheer on her boyfriend Campbell.
