Thursday night's primetime matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Carolina Panthers had a unplanned pause during the third quarter. With the Packers holding the ball while leading 20-10, the game was interrupted for several minutes as a result of a passing drone, according to the Amazon Prime broadcast.
The unauthorized drone had breached the edge of the stadium, leading the referees to pause the game for safety reasons. Per the broadcast, the teams were told to head back to their respective sidelines while they waited for the drone to leave, with the delay lasting several minutes.
Under Federal Aviation Admisitration (FAA) rules, drones are not allowed within three nautical miles of any stadium with more than 30,000 seats, with NFL games specifically mentioned in the guidelines; Green Bay's Lambeau Field has a capacity of 81,441. The rules for drones and model airplanes apply starting one hour before the game until one hour after.
Luckily, the Packers made sure the delay was worth it: On the very next play, quarterback Jordan Love found Josh Jacobs for a touchdown reception to give Green Bay a 27-10 lead.

BHP and SiTration, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spin-out, are planning to conduct two pilot programmes of copper recovery technology at BHP's site in the Globe-Miami district of Arizona, US.
The companies aim to demonstrate a method for producing copper domestically by extracting it from legacy mining water at the historic Copper Cities site.
The initial phase of the pilot will focus on a small-scale trial, running over one month.
Later this year, the project is expected to expand, with a larger deployment planned to produce up to two tonnes (t) of commercial-scale copper cathodes for two months.
Copper Cities was an active mine that produced nearly 400,000t of copper between the 1950s and early 1980s.
