The New England Patriots experienced technical issues on their play tablets that kept them out of use for 20 minutes in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Microsoft diagnosed the problems to be "connectivity issues," according to Steve Dent of Engadget, and the NFL elaborated on the matter in a statement Monday, courtesy of Phil Perry of CSNNE.com:

The Patriots regained use of the tablets in the second quarter.
