The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers played the final Monday Night Football game of the 2024 season in Week 17. Dan Campbell and the Lions came to play despite the fact that the game didn’t really mean anything for Detroit.
Fred Warner and the 49ers weren’t the only ones fired up for the game. ESPN’s cameras walked out to the field with Za’Darius Smith and teammate Christian Mahogany. As Smith walked around a corner he could be heard saying, “Don’t be scared now motherf—–s.”
Both players clearly understood that Smith had just sworn on live television as Mahogany shook his head and Smith looked at the camera and asked, “That ain’t on TV, is it?”

Smith registered one quarterback hit in the first half while the 49ers jumped out to a 21-13 lead. No one appeared to be scared.
On Monday night, during a heated game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers, Lions player was caught off guard when he learned that he had sworn on live television.
The player, who shall remain unnamed, was mic’d up during the game and let out a few choice words in the heat of the moment. Little did he know that his words were being broadcasted to millions of viewers watching the game at home.
After the game, the player was informed of his slip-up and was surprised and apologetic. “I had no idea that my words were being broadcasted live. I apologize to anyone who may have been offended by my language,” he said in a statement.
The incident serves as a reminder to all players to be mindful of their words and actions while being mic’d up during games. It also goes to show that in the heat of competition, emotions can run high and sometimes words slip out unintentionally.
Overall, it was a lesson learned for the Lions player and a moment of surprise for viewers watching at home. Let’s hope that in the future, players are more cautious with their language on live broadcasts.
