The NFL playoffs are underway this weekend and fans of teams involved are eagerly awaiting every twist and turn, even in games that don’t involve their team. Fans of the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams even watched from inside Ford Field as they await kickoff.

They took in some of the action from the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers, a few hours ahead of kickoff in their own game. And with Cowboys-Packers game getting off to a rather lopsided start, fans of both the Lions and Rams seemed to be eating it up.

After Green Bay scored its fourth touchdown of the game, a 64-yard pick-six of quarterback Dak Prescott by Darnell Savage, fans erupted inside Ford Field.

You can check it out below.

At the time of this writing, Green Bay led 27-7 at halftime, with Dallas managing to salvage the final series before the half to score a touchdown.

But there will be a long way to go for the Cowboys to get back in the game, down three scores against a Packers team that is operating with surgical precision offensively.

Green Bay takes big early lead on Dallas

The Lions and Rams fans awaiting kickoff were treated to quite a bit of scoring on the Ford Field video boards. Green Bay piled it on early.

The Packers struck first with a long drive to start the game, taking 7:52 off the clock and finishing it off with a 3-yard Aaron Jones touchdown run to take a 7-0 lead.

Green Bay would then score three times in the second quarter as Prescott and the Cowboys struggled. Jones tacked on a 1-yard score to cap off a 19-play drive after Prescott was picked off in his own territory.

Then quarterback Jordan Love hit a beautiful pass over the middle to cap a 93-yard drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Dontayvion Wicks, making it 20-0 Packers after Anders Carlson missed the extra point.

The pick-six that Lions and Rams fans reacted to in the video above provided the fourth and final score for Green Bay in the first half, making it 27-0.

Dallas, though, would get the final possession before the half and turn it into a touchdown on a 1-yard pass from Prescott to Jake Ferguson, cutting the deficit to 27-7 at the half.
