The man known as Sam Seaborn on The West Wing is not a fan of the 49ers or the Packers — he just supports a strong institution.

A Fox camera operator just happened to find Lowe in the crowd at Levi’s Stadium right as Joe Buck was ready to read a promo for 9-1-1: Lone Star, the network’s new cop drama spinoff featuring Lowe. It just so happens to premiere tonight after the game.

His Parks and Recreation character Chris Traeger would surely approve of the cardio work involved in playing football, but may take issue with the health risks involved in the game.
