That extended Texans (read: Strouds) + moon joke is one of the best bits I've seen in any of your scripted content, period. I've enjoyed all of these, but you have been really killing it these past few weeks. I'm legitimately laughing out loud at content where it's just one guy pretending to be a bunch of NFL teams. Top tier.

It had to happen eventually. I still am not super confident in the Packers ability to lead the division again in the next year or few. But I'll take the win when where the Pack can get it. At an absolute minimum I'm glad Lions fans can stop gloating over a win streak on the Pack.

[@alexschott2092]

Dear Texans/Strouds fans, Thank you for dealing with the moon issue, but I'm afraid we've got a lot more long-standing Thanksgiving curses working against us. Losing a football game before our turkey dinners are served is just one of Michigan's cursed traditions. That, and awful half-time shows. Still, we appreciate your support. Best of luck with the rest of your season. Sincerely, A long-suffering Lions fan.

Amazing character development! For a moment there we where beginning to believe that Josh Allen, Joshua Dobbs, or Myles Garrett might have been the main characters this season. But now it’s apparent that we are! …right? I mean, CJ Stroud was literally just introduced. There’s no way a new character is gonna be this season’s protagonist, right? Right?!
