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.
