Country duo Brothers Osborne got through approximately one second of their Thanksgiving Day halftime act during the Detroit Lions-Chicago Bears game before a power outage killed it.
The musicians stood in silence for several moments in front of a crowd who waited in confusion below the stage.

The show did eventually get underway, but not before several more awkward moments. The delay allowed for some fun tweets:
"And now, a halftime tribute to the Bears offense."
