It is safe Lisa Salters and Jordan Love did not see Rashan Gary coming as he crashed their postgame interview after the Green Bay Packers impressive victory on Monday night.
The Packers shut out the New Orleans Saints 34-0 in a game where the result rarely looked in doubt.
Afterwards, Salters wanted a word with Love about the Packers clinching a playoff position.
Salters got her question off before she jumped forward, scared of Gary’s assertion in the middle of Love’s answer.
‘Stop playing with him, once again, punch a ticket!’ Gary came into the interview and yelled, interrupting Salters, who moved nearly off camera with the fright.
‘He scared me!’ Salters said, who did not look upset with her interview quickly going off the rails.

‘What he said!’ Love repeated.
Salters has been with ESPN since 2000 and is used to the antics of athletes she interviews and is prepared for anything, even Gary’s jump-scare.
Even after being frightened, she continued the interview with Love to get the answers to the questions she desired.
With the Packers back in the playoffs, it is only a matter of what seed they get, likely to be the No 6 position due to other team’s records.
The Packers will likely have to stay behind the 13-win Lions and Vikings, due to all three teams being in the NFC North.
Many football fans believe that trio of teams are the best in the NFC, with one representing the conference in several weeks at the Super Bowl.
