Power goes out before Chargers-Bills game
By JOHN WAWROW – 24 minutes ago

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The San Diego-Buffalo game was delayed for 15 minutes in the first quarter Sunday to correct an electrical problem, then the game resumed without power in Ralph Wilson Stadium.

The NFL stopped the game early in the first quarter after Marshawn Lynch's 2-yard carry for Buffalo. The delay was planned to last 5 minutes. But as it stretched on, officiating observer Art McNally ordered play to resume.

The game went on with no TV feed on CBS.

The electricity had gone out at the stadium about a half-hour before the game after three helium balloons became entangled in power lines across the street from the facility.

Power was restored throughout most of the stadium within 15 minutes, although it blinked on and off just before the 1 p.m. start, and the game kicked off on time.

Emergency officials and work crews blocked off part of the area in front of the stadium on Abbott Road as they worked to remove the balloons, which appeared to be affecting the electrical flow. A New York State Electric and Gas worker also said that a breaker blew and had to be restored.

The outage occurred at about 12:29 while both teams were practicing on the field. The stadium lights and scoreboard blinked off, as did the power in the press box. The main scoreboard was the last to power up, about 5 minutes before the start of the game.

At the time of the delay, on-field officials addressed both teams at the line of scrimmage. Players from both teams then went to their respective sidelines. Some stretched, while others stood around talking with their helmets off. Lynch rode a stationary bike, while Bills quarterback Trent Edwards played catch with backup J.P. Losman.

Referee Jeff Triplette was on the Bills sideline talking to an NFL official and Marc Honan, Bills vice president of marketing and broadcasting.

Numerous fans inside the sold-out stadium stood up to stretch or headed to concession stands. A few loud cheers went up.

Bills cheerleaders continued their routines along the sidelines.

They were saying on CBS that a transformer went out.
