NFL Fans Absolutely Crushed Jack Harlow’s Dreadful Halftime Show During Packers-Lions Game
Playing the halftime show of an NFL Thanksgiving game is a tough gig. Without the budget of a Super Bowl halftime show, performers are left with far fewer assets to fill out a stadium-sized extravaganza.
On Thursday, Jack Harlow took his shot at a halftime show when the Lions and Packers went to intermission in Detroit. Reviews from NFL fans across social media were not positive, with criticism aimed at everything from the set design to Harlow’s low energy.
It probably didn’t help that the home team entered halftime trailing 23–6, leaving Lions fans less inclined to enjoy Harlow’s performance.
Harlow did his best to rally the troops, shouting “This game is not over!” to fans in attendance at Ford Field.
Some fans even called for Creed, whose 2001 Thanksgiving halftime performance has evolved from bewildering to beloved in the intervening years.
Despite the criticism, it’s possible that Harlow’s call to action for the Lions worked.
Detroit went on to score on its opening possession of the third quarter, cutting the Packers’ lead to 23–14.
