Erin Andrews was racing the clock and fighting for breath during Fox’s halftime coverage of Sunday’s Packers and Lions game. The veteran sideline reporter later said the frantic segment left her fearing she had badly embarrassed herself on camera, as reported by The New York Post.

Andrews, 48, revisited the stressful report during Tuesday’s episode of the “Calm Down” podcast with cohost Charissa Thompson. She described how an unexpectedly lengthy halftime interview quickly turned her usual routine into chaos.

The Fox reporter worked the game alongside Tom Rinaldi, Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady. Andrews said she normally has enough time to ask a coach two questions at halftime before preparing her notes for the live broadcast.

Ford Field’s long ramp changed that calculation. Andrews found herself with more time than expected while speaking to Packers coach Matt LaFleur, so she asked him four or five questions instead of her usual two.

By the time Andrews returned to the field, Fox was roughly one minute away from resuming its broadcast. She still needed to organize the information LaFleur had given her and determine which details belonged in the report.

“I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to shore up my notes.’ I’m putting it all together,” Andrews said. The pressure intensified as she tried to make sure she accurately represented LaFleur’s comments about a crucial decision.

“And I’m like, ‘Wait, s–t. What did he say about going for it?’ Because I never want to quote a coach and get it wrong.” Andrews quickly listened to the recording of her conversation with LaFleur before Burkhardt sent the broadcast to her.

Another problem then hit her. Andrews realized that she had not obtained the injury information she needed, even though her producer had just told her that Fox would come to her first.

Andrews ran to locate a public relations representative while Burkhardt and Brady were already on air. That search pulled her away from the camera just as her live appearance was approaching.

She made it back in time, but the hurried sprint had left her visibly winded. Andrews said she then stumbled through portions of the report while trying to deliver LaFleur’s assessment of Green Bay’s first half.

Andrews reported that LaFleur said “we need to finish drives” and was “mad at himself” over a key choice. Rather than attempting a field goal, Green Bay went for it on fourth down with four yards needed from the Detroit 7 while trailing 10 to 7 in the second quarter.

The Packers failed to convert, leaving Andrews to explain the decision while struggling to regain her breath. “I’m fully f–king out of breath, which is inappropriate,” she said while reviewing the moment on the podcast.

“Get it together, sister. In through the nose, out through the mouth … It was so stupid, and it’s all because the ramp was so long.” Andrews said she became confused about what she had already covered and mistakenly returned to the offense after discussing it.

She tried to acknowledge the mistake directly to Burkhardt, but the next play began before she could fully recover. Andrews told him, “Don’t worry, Kev, I’ll get it together after this play.”

Brady responded with “Aww” during the broadcast, according to Andrews. “He does that on-air because he knew I was struggling,” she said.

The reporter’s own assessment was considerably harsher. “And then I’m like, ‘Oh my God, how many people are watching, and I just sh–t down my leg. I’m so much better than that,” she said.

Andrews has worked as a Fox sideline reporter for 14 years after joining the network in July 2012. She previously reported for ESPN, where her assignments included the NHL, college football, and Big Ten basketball.
