Viral moment brings humor to painful Packers performance in loss to the Falcons - WLUK

A Packers fan named Maddie Clark went viral after being filmed on the Thursday Night Football broadcast checking her own pulse as Green Bay lost to the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 24, 2026.

Clark, who was raised in Arizona and runs her own business working with animals, explained the pulse-check was simply a personal habit she uses to relieve stress, not a sign of genuine distress.

She attended the game at Lambeau Field with her father as a birthday celebration, after first visiting Green Bay alone the previous year and enjoying it enough to bring him along this time.

Clark only learned she'd gone viral when a fan seated behind her tapped her shoulder and showed her the clip circulating across the country during the broadcast.

She responded with humor to the attention, laughing off a Barstool video that claimed she was a hired actress "planted" by Amazon, joking that she wished she'd actually been paid.

Despite the Packers' disappointing performance, Clark said she was glad to bring some levity to fellow "cheeseheads" and plans to return to Lambeau Field, hoping for a better result next time.
