Halftime shows are becoming more popular for primetime games. There is none bigger than the Super Bowl, and one fan was ready to stake their claim for White and Eminem to be the halftime show.

The Lions have to get going, but fans were at least given a treat while the players weren’t disappointing them on the field.
The fireworks carried over into the third quarter with the teams exchanging touchdowns. Detroit’s defense hasn’t gotten a stop so far after halftime as the Packers have engineered two efficient drives. It’s going to have to be a great fourth quarter for Detroit if they want to keep their fans happy beyond the halftime show.
