“Hey Sam! I just saw the story on your tweet,” Andrews, 46, wrote on X on Thursday, November 7. “Let me know the best way to get in touch with the base. I wanted to show you where Fox Security (who works the game) and I have our weather alert for the Packers game! Thanks!!”

Charissa Thompson has cleared up the “elephant in the room” regarding her comments whitewashing NFL sideline reports. “I have a responsibility to myself and my employers to be clear about what is being reported,” Thompson, 41, wrote in an Instagram Story statement on Friday, November 17. “When I was on a podcast this week I said I would do it […]

The meteorologist’s contributions came amid the nasty, rainy weather during the game in Green Bay, with Andrews on the sideline doing her best to stay dry on the Fox broadcast.

During her reporting, Andrews noted wind gusts of 43 mph and said there was a possibility of thunder and lightning.

“And 43 miles per hour?! Specifically 🤨”, meteorologist and weather risk manager for DTN Tanner Verstegen wrote about X in response to Kuffel’s tweet.

“Right?!?!” Kuffel replied.

Kuffel has since deleted her original tweets and it is unclear whether she and Andrews managed to establish a connection.

After the game, a 24-14 Lions win, Andrews asked the Lions quarterback Jared Goff about playing in the difficult weather.

“Those conditions were crazy,” Andrews said. “Massive gusts of wind, sideways rain, [Lions’ defensive coordinator] Aaron Glenn couldn’t see anything through his glasses. Tell me what it was like to play in it.”

Goff, 30, bragged about the Lions’ performance, especially after some talk emerged that he and his teammates weren’t fit to play outdoors because Detroit’s Ford Field is a dome.

“We’re supposed to be the Dome team. We’re supposed to be the team that can’t play outside,” Goff told Andrews. “And we come here and win.”

Andrews, who has been the lead sideline reporter for Fox Sports since 2014, recently spoke about what it was like working with the broadcast booth newcomer and NFL legend Tom Brady this season.

“Even though I knew him for many years off the field, we try to integrate him into our family and our friendships because we are kind of family on our crew,” Andrews said SportsCasting in October. “We all make fun of each other, we can all take it, we all fight back. It’s a good time.

Andrews added: “I can kind of make fun of him, make a few taunts, while maybe some of my teammates are trying to go easy on him at the beginning. “But now we’re all starting to feel really comfortable. It’s about creating chemistry within the team and building it over time.”

Fox’s top broadcast team includes Andrews, Brady, play-by-play analyst Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Tom Rinaldi will be Week 10 in Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, November 10th.
