Anticipation was high for Thursday’s rivalry matchup between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. The teams delivered an unforgettable showdown.
In a thrilling back-and-forth game, the Lions secured a dramatic 34-31 win with a last-second field goal. This marked their franchise-record 11th consecutive victory, bringing their season record to 12-1 and clinching a playoff berth.
As part of Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” coverage, Charissa Thompson was at Ford Field to witness the action. On Friday, the 42-year-old reporter shared her succinct reaction to the game.
“WHAT. A. GAME,” Thompson wrote in an Instagram post, summing up the night.
The game’s pivotal moment came with 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Lions coach Dan Campbell opted to go for it on 4th-and-inches instead of kicking a 40-yard field goal to break the tie.
Campbell’s gamble paid off when the Lions converted the first down. They then ran out the clock and secured the win with a game-ending field goal.
Thompson, known for her work on “Fox NFL Kickoff,” recently made headlines for her emotional reaction during a segment about a young boy diagnosed with a rare terminal illness.
A Seattle native, Thompson has hosted “Fox NFL Kickoff” since 2013 and has earned recognition as one of the NFL’s top sportscasters.
