- Detroit Lions. Teddy Bridgewater announces plans to retire from NFL at season's end
- NFL. Al Michaels' dismissal from NFL playoffs over Taylor Swift theory angers fans
Russell Wilson's marriage to R&B star Ciara has made him a prime target for the Pride of Motor City.
As the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos prepared for their Saturday game, the PA announcer at Ford Field decided to psychologically torment the visitors by playing songs by rapper Future.
Ciara was engaged to the rapper before meeting the Super Bowl-winning quarterback in 2015.
The couple split within a year of their engagement, and Ciara is now happily married to Wilson.
The music choice worked for the Lions
The Lions' performance on Saturday indicated that the trolling tactic was successful.
After a dry first quarter, the Lions exploded for 21 points in the second quarter, with Jared Goff throwing scores to rookies Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and fellow Pro Bowler Amon-Ra St. Brown.
The visitors only got on the board in the third quarter when Wilson found rookie Lil'Jordan Humphrey for a three-yard .
This disastrous performance could not have come at a worse time for Sean Payton's charges, who entered the game within striking distance of the AFC West.
The Broncos are currently playing pretty perfect football and had three chances to win the game.
With the Kansas City Chiefs carrying a two-game skid before their visit to the New England Patriots, it was on the team from Mile High to deliver a statement win.
