The first half of action between the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving was fun and crowd-pleasing. Then came the halftime show…
The performance by Bebe Rexha inside Ford Field was not well-received. Not by the fans in the stadium, who got to watch the backside of a stage concealed in a corner of the end zone with the performance strictly for television.
The television audience wasn’t exactly thrilled with the performance production either. Social media reaction to the halftime show was not positive. A small but representative sampling from Twitter:
This the best the NFL can do for Halftime show?
