A drone flying over the stadium completely stopped Thursday night’s Bengals – Ravens game

Oh, c’mon, who flew the drone over the Bengals – Ravens game?

In what embodies the NFL in 2023 more than anything we’ve seen recently, a drone stopped play during Thursday night’s Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals game.

During the game’s second quarter, a drone flashing red and green lights hovered above M&T Bank Stadium as Amazon’s game cameras shifted from the field to the sky to show the flying nuisance.

Veteran broadcaster Al Michaels had to send the game to a commercial break as game officials figured out a way to get this drone out of the field of play so that the game could resume.

If you were the person flying this drone above the stadium, we have a feeling you might not be invited back to a Ravens game anytime soon. Just a hunch.

As momentarily humorous as it is to see an entire NFL game halted because somebody flew a drone over the stadium, it is incredibly annoying for everyone on the field and in the stands to have their nights delayed by this prankish disruption.

At the least, we hope the NFL figures out a way to keep these pesky drones away from open-air stadiums sooner than later so the show can go on.
