Eli Apple’s coverage at Arrowhead Stadium wasn’t the worst offense on Sunday.
Leading up to the AFC Championship Game’s kickoff, the Arrowhead tech crew fumbled their handling of singer-songwriter Ashanti’s rendition of the national anthem.
Ashanti’s microphone was muted to start out the anthem, as seen through the CBS broadcast. As the singer belted out “O Say Can You See,” 76,416 fans were unable to hear what she said.
WATCH:
Heading into halftime, Cincinnati appeared to be out of tune with their winning recipe, down 21-10 before the third.
UPDATE: At halftime, the CBS broadcast suffered the greatest flop of Sunday after letting country singer Walker Hayes’ live performance at Arrowhead tune out the panel’s halftime commentary.

No kidding! We wanted to hear Walker Hayes at halftime instead of the halftime crew repeating everything we just watched.
Yeah halftime scores don’t count Burrow and company just took care of biz lol
27-24 see ya PAT for the second time
LOL.. Walker Hayes is NOT a “Country Singer.” He’s a “Country Rap Performer” (I’m not going to use the adjectives: “Singer” or “Artist” for him, either)..
“Country Rap” is better known a C-Rap.. or just simply, CRAP!
[“Technical glitch” to mute the National Anthem? Wow, so we’re just gonna buy that line of BS and move on? OK.]
Yeah the audio issues were a fiasco. Big fail for CBS.
It was hilarious listening to the idiots shouting at each other during the halftime show while the music was blasting. What is the point of the halftime show being on the field? Put the clowns back in the studio where they belong.
