The Green Bay Packers got a huge win on Thursday Afternoon. A 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions solidified the Packers’ chances in making a legitimate playoff run. The win moved the Packers to 5-6 and remained just one spot out of an NFC Wild Card spot.
it has been tradition for years that the winning team on Thanksgiving to munch on some turkey on field after the clock his 0:00. However, that moment was taken away from Jordan Love.
Greg Olson Steals Jordan Love’s Moment After The Green Bay Packers Down The Detroit Lions On Thanksgiving
Why was that moment ruined? As a result of Greg Olsen’s actions.
On the broadcast, the former player and Kevin Burkhardt were presented with a turkey, but he had no idea that it was the only one prepared for the game:
it isn’t an NFL gameday without a conspiracy theory, be sure to share this with *that* uncle
this Turducken was presented to Greg Olsen to show to the camera but he went and destroyed it, not knowing it was the only one prepped

While Love didn’t get the turkey, he got the win. On Thanksgiving Day, the Lions hosted the Packers at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
Love threw three touchdown passes and nearly 300 yards. It was the second time in as many weeks that he had that type of stat line. He posted a rating of 125.5. In addition, Love ran three times for 39 yards without being sacked. It wasn’t until the last seconds of the fourth quarter that the game became close.
I am sure the NFL will make corrections to this blunder as it has turned into a viral fiasco. Both Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys and nearly the entire San Francisco 49ers offense got to partake in the turkey festivities.
