Charissa Thompson headed to Ford Field along with the rest of the Amazon Prime Video crew for the broadcast of the “Thursday Night Football” matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. Thompson was in attendance as the Lions took down the Cowboys in a hotly contested affair, 44-30.
Jahmyr Gibbs was the star of the show for Detroit as the two-time Pro Bowl running back scored three rushing touchdowns. Gibbs registered 12 carries for 43 yards and seven catches for 77 receiving yards, leading the Lions to a nice bounce-back victory after their Week 13 rivalry loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Thompson witnessed the spectacle first-hand, and she shared a handful of photos from the game via social media.

This included her gameday outfit as well, which featured a gray tailored blazer that matched her vest and tailored shorts. Thompson went with black opaque tights, which blended seamlessly with the highlight of her ensemble, a pair of black over-the-knees leather boots.
Thompson’s sophisticated power-suit remix stole the spotlight among the fans on social media.
