A group of animal rights activists stormed the field at Ford Field during Thurdsay's Thanksgiving Day game between the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.
The protesters carried signs saying "It's not food. It's violence," and "Animal Liberation Now."
The two women were apprehended by security immediately but did get on the FOX broadcast as the game wound down to the two-minute warning.
