Lions Fan from Viral Matt LaFleur Video Says He Was Asked to Leave Game at Halftime

Thursday's game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers game got off to an unusual start when a fan from the group carrying the American flag for the national anthem ran to the Green Bay sideline and taunted players before being confronted by Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.

As a result, the fan says he was asked to leave the game before halftime.

The Lions fan, a season-ticket holder, said it wasn't the first time he had done something like that.

"The moment — I got caught up in it," the fan said.
