Helicopter flyover at Lambeau Field had cops 'scrambling'
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When a pair of helicopters flew over Lambeau Field early in the first quarter of Thursday's preseason game between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, it seemed a little late for the traditional flyover.
That's because it was unplanned and unauthorized.
"I was as surprised as anyone," Packers president Mark Murphy said Friday.
It occurred seconds after Jimmy Graham caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers with 11:53 remaining in the first quarter.
First, one helicopter flew over the stadium from the North, and then a second one followed.
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, they were U.S. Navy helicopters.
