NBC was forced to act during their playoff broadcast Sunday after a snow storm hit Philadelphia.
The network showed the division round clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams Sunday.
And the weather at Lincoln Financial Field made their broadcast hard work.
The NFC clash kicked off at 3 pm ET in cold temperatures.
And, as forecast, snow arrived shortly before 4 pm ET.
Heavy flurries of snow quickly blanketed the field and turned it from green to white.
And the covering of snow made the field markings hard to see.
Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth did an admirable job keeping fans informed as yardage markers disappeared.
NBC then used computer generated imagery to place the numbers back on the field.
The snow relented for a few moments to also allow stadium staff to clear some yardage markers.
And with NBC’s use of the CGI, fans didn’t miss a beat in the playoff spectacle.
The Eagles held off a late Rams charge to win a 28-22 instant classic.
Saquon Barkley ran for 205 yards and two touchdowns at a raucous Lincoln Financial Field.
The running back went in on 78-yard and 62-yard scores Sunday.
His 78-yard score in the fourth quarter put Philadelphia up 28-15 with less than five minutes remaining.
But Los Angeles fought to the end and had a chance to win it late on.
Colby Parkinson’s touchdown with 2:48 to play reduced to deficit to 28-22.

But they broke down on 4th and 11 at the Philadelphia Eagles 22-yard line, much to the relief of the home fans.
The Eagles will host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game Sunday.
The winner will make it to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana and face the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills.
“This is the reason why I came here,” Barkley said.
“This was the best opportunity to play in a game like this.”
