The incident occurred after the Green Bay Packers’ dominant 34-0 victory over the New Orleans Saints in Week 16’s “Monday Night Football” matchup.
The Packers’ shutout performance, their first of the season, showcased a suffocating defense that limited the Saints to just 196 total yards. Gary played a key role in the defensive effort, contributing two tackles and helping secure a victory that reinforced Green Bay’s playoff aspirations.
After the game, Salters was interviewing Packers quarterback Jordan Love about the team’s impressive performance when Gary suddenly burst into the scene. In the middle of the conversation, Gary leaned into the microphone and shouted, startling Salters and prompting her to step back in surprise.
“Stop playing with him! Once again! Punch the ticket!” Gary exclaimed with enthusiasm, seemingly referencing Green Bay’s momentum toward securing a playoff spot. The Packers were eyeing their second consecutive postseason appearance, having made the playoffs six times in the last seven years.
