Fox's broadast of Sunday's Bears-Vikings game has been marred by technical difficulties, including several blacked-out minutes at the end of the first half. The network missed the Vikings' third touchdown and went to its halftime show with at more than a minute remaining in the half. "We started to experience issues with the signal to the transmission lines into the truck and when we lost the signal, immediately tried to reboot the entire process to get the signal back as soon as we possibly could," Fox spokesman Dan Bell told the Tribune. "We understand that it is unacceptable and we apologize everyone who was watching this game, especially those viewers in the Chicago and Minneapolis markets. "We certainly do our very best to avoid this situation but unfortunately, these things occasionally happen." Viewers watching the game on TV missed most of the final minutes of the first half because of what Fox Sports said were technical difficulties. The network switched to its halftime studio show while the Bears were driving for a go-ahead score, but returned in time for Gould's field goal. Source: Chicago Tribune
