FOX's Camera Cut Out at the Worst Possible Moment of the Falcons-Texans Game, and Fans Weren't Happy

Just as the potential game-winning kick went in the air, screens went black.

Sunday's game between the Falcons and Texans came down to the wire, but not everyone was able to see the thrilling finish.

After a back-and-forth contest, the Falcons trailed 19-18 with the ball and just seconds left on the clock.

Kicker Younghoe Koo took to the field to attempt a potentially game-winning field goal from 37 yards out.

As Koo made contact with the ball, just as the tension of the game reached its peak, the broadcast briefly went black.

The interruption was brief enough that the broadcast was back online as the ball sailed through the uprights, but the momentary blackout was distressing enough to inspire some posts on social media.
