The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers' animosity was apparent pregame, leading to a yelling match between Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur and a fan in a Brian Branch jersey.
In a clip of the pregame festivities at Ford Field, a Lions fan in a Brian Branch jersey on the field to help hold the massive American flag over the field during the National Anthem got told to "shut the (expletive) up" during a hot moment pregame. The Lions fan gestured with his arms as LaFleur approached, before Packers staff stepped in between them.
