Have you ever thought about what the Green Bay Packers’ mascot actually is? No? Me either.
Not until this weekend, anyway. And, to be completely honest with you, after seeing this graphic of the NFL’s playoff team mascots ahead of the start of Wild Card weekend, I’m even more confused.
In this graphic from NBC’s Sunday Night Football account, they prominently feature every team’s mascot staring at the SoFi Stadium. It’s super dramatic, of course. But what else would it be? It’s the NFL.
Anyway, you have every team’s mascot heading to the stadium. And then…you’ve got a Green Bay Packers fan? In…some pinstriped overalls? With a block of cheese on top of his head?!?!?
What in the world is going on here. How did this man Blue-Skidoo his way into this graphic? We need answers.

A quick Google search reveals the Packers don’t actually have a mascot. Which, like, OK. Fine. No mascot.
But they couldn’t do any better than this for the Packers? I’d rather have seen a capital G rolling its way down to the stadium than…whoever this dude is. Or maybe a cheese monster? Literally anything, y’all.
And look at those overalls! Tacky. Come on, my guy. You can do better than that.
NFL fans rightfully roasted this look. They had no choice.
