her → show → aftermath
The NFL Fox sideline reporter worked the Packers-Lions game alongside Tom Rinaldi, Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady, and explained she typically has time to ask two questions to a coach at halftime while on Tuesday’s episode of the “Calm Down” podcast with co-host Charissa Thompson.
However, since Ford Field’s ramp is so long, Andrews had more time with Packers’ Matt LaFleur than expected, asking four or five questions.

Yet, she came back to the field with about one minute until Fox was back on-air.

She reported LaFleur saying “we need to finish drives” and was “mad at himself” because he didn’t go for the field goal and instead opted to go for it on 4th-and-4 from the Detroit 7-yard line, with Green Bay failing to convert while trailing 10-7 in the second quarter.

“I’m fully f–king out of breath, which is inappropriate,” Andrews said.

asserted
I → ’m → What
And I realize I had just said the offense, and I go, ‘Wait, Kev, I just said the offense…’
asserted
I → realize → offense
Then they f–king snap the ball, and I go, ‘Don’t worry, Kev, I’ll get it together after this play.’”
