If you were watching CBS’ Thursday Night Football matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, you probably needed to be looking for another form of entertainment. The Packers crushed their NFC North rival by a score of 35-14 to improve to 3-1 on the season. Ho-hum.

The real story involved the Twitter bro-mance between another NFC North inhabitant, Golden Tate of the Detroit Lions, and the Butterfinger candy bar.

Butterfinger started the chain of events after Chicago coughed up a ridiculously Bears-like fumble in the first quarter.

The play in question:

The king of candy’s response.

Golden Tate appreciated the mocking of his rivals.

The newfound BFFs go full on Step Brothers.

There’s an obvious Eric Ebron joke to be made here and we at DSN, in good conscience, cannot drop the ball on that.

Tate and Butterfinger did an excellent job of keeping those of us who were still only watching in hopes of gaining fantasy football points engaged. What this win by the Packers actually means for the Lions is that in order to keep pace in the division, we must put the Atlanta game behind us and prove we can compete with and rank among the best teams in the NFC.

If you have read this far, thank you, your reward is extra bonus tweets of Butterfinger ethering the Bears official Twitter account. Enjoy.
