One Detroit Lions fan took the Halloween spirit to a whole new level during his team’s Sunday clash against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. David Bodine, a dedicated Lions supporter, quickly became a viral sensation after his appearance on the FOX broadcast, sparking a flurry of excitement across social media.
Bodine’s moment in the spotlight came midway through the third quarter after the Lions faced a critical 4th-and-1 at the Packers’ 15-yard line.
Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs took the handoff and bolted up the middle, barely touched by the Packers’ defense, scoring a touchdown that extended Detroit’s lead to 24-3. As the Detroit crowd erupted, the FOX camera panned to Bodine, who was standing out spectacularly among a sea of Packers fans.
While they sported the signature cheesehead hats, Bodine wore a hilarious twist on the tradition—a cheese grater hat. In the heart of Packers territory, Bodine’s costume sent a message, embodying every Lions fan’s dream of “grating” the cheese in Green Bay.

Social media lit up with clips of Bodine’s appearance, and his cheeky costume quickly became a meme. Embracing his newfound fame, Bodine took to X (formerly Twitter) shortly after the game, posting, “Apparently I’m making the rounds on this app, in case anyone is wondering who the Lions fan in the cheese grater is…” The post added fuel to the viral fire, as fans from both teams joined in to celebrate his creative display.
The game itself was a high-stakes matchup with major implications for the NFC North standings. Both teams entered Week 9 with strong records, looking to extend their winning streaks.
However, Detroit’s commanding lead, boosted by Bodine’s unforgettable fan moment, overshadowed some of the game’s controversies.
Lions safety Brian Branch was ejected in the first half for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers wide receiver Bo Melton, stirring up debate among fans and analysts alike.
Ultimately, the Lions secured a decisive victory, advancing to a league-leading 7-1 record, while Green Bay fell to 6-3.
Bodine’s costume will be remembered as a memorable part of this pivotal game, celebrating Detroit’s success in a unique and spirited way that perfectly captured the thrill of rivalry in the NFC North.
