During an ESPN College GameDay broadcast, analyst Pat McAfee caused an unexpected viral moment when he jokingly asked Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson about his “girth.” The lighthearted but awkward exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from NFL fans—especially those following the Lions after their Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Packers Beat Lions in Week 13 Thriller

Detroit fell to Green Bay 31-24, marking another setback in the NFC playoff race.

Green Bay (8-3-1) never trailed in the matchup.

The Packers carried a 17-14 lead into halftime.

Jordan Love threw four touchdown passes, keeping Detroit’s comeback attempts in check.

The Packers defense delivered two key fourth-down stops to secure the win.

Aidan Hutchinson Responds After Pat McAfee’s Viral Joke

Hutchinson appeared on College GameDay in Week 14 as the show’s guest picker. When analyst Kirk Herbstreit asked him about his height, McAfee added a playful twist:

“And your girth?” McAfee joked.

The panel burst into laughter as Hutchinson shook his head and replied:

“Oh, you’re losing it. ESPN has let you run wild with this one.”

Hutchinson, in Ann Arbor for the Michigan–Ohio State rivalry game, took the moment in stride. The Buckeyes defeated Michigan 27-9, but Hutchinson—who played four years at Michigan—remained focused on his NFL responsibilities.

Lions Turn Attention to Cowboys in Week 14

With the viral exchange behind him, Hutchinson is preparing for a crucial Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on December 4. Detroit faces increasing pressure to stay alive in the playoff race.

Cowboys Outlook

Dallas enters the game as 3.5-point favorites after a strong performance from quarterback Dak Prescott, who recorded:

320 passing yards

2 touchdowns

1 interception

100.4 passer rating

Prescott will look to continue his momentum, while Hutchinson and the Lions defense aim to slow down a dangerous Cowboys offense.
