Brand loyalty: Actor Rob Lowe's odd fashion choice at NFC title game has social media buzzing
With the Green Bay Packers struggling to keep pace with the San Francisco 49ers Sunday night in a battle for a Super Bowl berth, veteran actor Rob Lowe stole the show on Twitter after he was shown on the TV broadcast sporting questionable football gear.
In a rivalry as heated as the one between the two NFC powerhouses, most fans aren't shy about touting their allegiances with the latest NFL merchandise and, technically, Lowe wasn't any different while watching the 49ers cruise to a 37-20 win over the Packers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Missing the point
Y’all are making fun of Rob Lowe for his generic NFL hat...but I’m over here wondering how that man hasn’t actually aged since 1993. Guy is 55-years-old & still needs an ID to get in college bars. pic.twitter.com/spRszrTWOU

With the Green Bay defense failing to lay a hand on 49ers running back Raheem Mostert for much of the first half and the Aaron Rodgers-led offense committing two turnovers and failing to convert a third down yet again during a scoreless first 30 minutes, the Packers dug themselves a 27-0 halftime deficit on their way to a demoralizing 37-20 loss.
