Taylor Swift catches strays from Packers’ fans after Green Bay’s win vs Lions
The Green Bay Packers were expected to be prevented from beating the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. After all, they are in a transitional stage with Jordan Love as the starting quarterback, having replaced Aaron Rodgers.
Meanwhile, their opponents have begun to enjoy the rewards of getting Jared Goff from the Los Angeles Rams. They are expected to claim the NFC North for the first time since 1993 after nearly missing the playoffs in 2022-23 due to a tiebreak.
However, the Packers provided a peek of their potential future on Thursday. They forced three turnovers on Goff, the first of which was recovered for a score by safety Jonathan Owens:
WOW. @packers defense forces the fumble and takes it in for the touchdown

The spotlight naturally shifted to his wife, gymnast Simone Biles, whom many fans deemed a greater WAG than Travis Kelce’s companion Taylor Swift:
Great game from Jonathan Owens, but more importantly: being married to Simone Biles is way cooler than dating Taylor Swift

What Packers players said after beating the Lions
Confidence was the name of the game for the Packers, as Jordan Love threw for three touchdowns against a stronger opponent. Following the game, he stated:
“We have their phone number. We’ve been looking forward to this game for a long time.”We all remember what occurred the previous time we played, so just being able to bounce back, find a way to win this game, and have a solid performance in all three phases was big, and it will give us confidence going ahead next week.”
The game’s standout, however, was linebacker Rashan Gary, who sacked Jared Goff three times, the first of which led to Jonathan Owens’ touchdown. When asked to reflect on his performance at the same location where his 2022 season was cut short due to an ACL rupture, he said:
“It had been a very emotional week.” To be able to come back and, first and foremost, leave the game as healthy as I [began] was what I prayed to my Holy Father for. He blessed me to go the game healthy, and He rewarded me even more.”
And, speaking of Owens, he was overjoyed to score for the first time in his professional career:
“I couldn’t believe it.” At first, it didn’t feel like real life. It was my first time in the end zone since high school, and it felt amazing.”
On December 4, the Packers will play the Kansas City Chiefs.
