The Green Bay Packers vs. Carolina Panthers "Thursday Night Football" game was delayed in the third quarter because of a drone nearby the stadium.
Referee Scott Novak signaled for the delay ahead of a third-and-1 with 7:43 remaining in the third quarter. The teams were briefly cleared from the field because of the drone.
The drone was never shown on Amazon Prime Video's broadcast of the Thursday game.
The delay lasted only a few minutes before the Packers offense and Panthers defense were welcomed back to the field. On the first play following the drone delay, Jordan Love threw a 4-yard touchdown to Josh Jacobs to give Green Bay a 17-point lead.
