The NFL experienced something strange today in the match between Chicago Beers vs Detroit Lions. The game was going all well in first half of the game. Fans were thrilled with play from both teams and people were really enjoying the game before the halftime. The thanksgiving football game between the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions had an imprint in the history of NFL.
The highlight of the event was in the halftime of the game. A country music duo known as the Brothers Osborne, only just started their first song when the music came to a halt and the lights went out abruptly at Ford Field in Detroit.
What led to the power failure?
A spokeswoman for DTE, a Detroit-based energy company, said in a statement that the company is working with the Lions to identify the cause of the outage. Ford Field said in a statement it was “due to an outside utility failure” and that the ensuing delay in the halftime show was due to the time it took to reset and reconnect the sound system transmitter.
The lights came back on almost immediately and then, after a brief delay, the show resumed. “Well obviously we’ve had a power hit here in Detroit, but is a surprising that such will happen in such a huge event. It was just a few notes into the Brothers Osborne here at halftime,” and then, announcer Joe Buck said on the broadcast, airing on FOX.
Many watching at home took to social media especially on their Twitter handle to comment on the incident. It is a surprise to them but to a Nigerian man, it is normal thing and from our tables we can just say NEPA just paid the people of Detroit a surprise visit.
