The Detroit Lions delivered an unexpected surprise to football fans on Thursday night, securing a hard-fought victory on the road against the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs, setting the tone for the NFL season opener.
Despite the Chiefs missing key players like Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, many still considered them favorites to win the game, attributing this confidence to the exceptional talent and prowess of their MVP quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
One sports analyst, in particular, made a bold prediction leading up to the game.
Nick Wright of Fox declared that not only would the Chiefs emerge victorious on Thursday, but they would also go undefeated for the entire season. To commemorate this forecast, Wright even got a tattoo that read “Never in Doubt.”
However, the Chiefs’ unexpected 0-1 start promptly put an end to any discussions of a perfect season. This turn of events prompted the Detroit Lions to inject a bit of humor into the situation on Friday.
The Lions’ official Twitter account playfully tweeted, “First things first,” a nod to the FS1 show on which Wright frequently appears. They then added a popular “press X to doubt” meme, poking fun at Wright’s confidence and his tattoo.
Having earned the right to revel in their surprise upset victory, the Lions showcased their sense of humor in the wake of their triumph.
Football enthusiasts will now eagerly anticipate whether they can sustain this momentum throughout the rest of the season.
