Lions fans hilariously needed a Delta flight attendant to stop her announcements right before the winning FG

That timing was too funny.

The Lions overcame five interceptions on Sunday for a thrilling 26-23 comeback win against the Texans in Week 10. Even for a neutral observer, the entire comeback — down to the last-second Jake Bates field goal — was edge-of-your-seat action.

Now, imagine what a plane full of Lions fans would be like watching that moment. They weren’t going to tolerate an interruption.

If you’ve ever watched the seat-back entertainment on Delta Airlines flights, you’ll know that the video pauses during inflight announcements for safety reasons. The live TV content is also on a crazy delay — we’re talking minutes behind live action. So, when a flight to Detroit was entering its initial approach, the flight attendant thought she was in the clear to make her announcements and congratulate the Lions on the win.

Think again!

Her announcements started right as Bates lined up for the kick, and the collective groan from the flight had her apologizing for the interruption.

You have to feel for her there. The timing couldn’t have been any funnier.
