Mother Nature is known to wreak havoc during the NFL season, but the Cardinals and Bears pulled off a surprise at State Farm Stadium on Sunday.

The teams celebrated in the second quarter of the NFC matchup in Glendale, Arizona, resulting in the stadium roof having to be closed midway through the game.

The afternoon game began with the roof open as the sun was shining, but a surprise storm swept through the area, bringing rain and hail that began to fall midway through the game.

The CBS broadcast mentioned the weather in detail as the storm clouds rolled in and the bizarre situation led to the roof being closed, which the broadcast said would take ten minutes.

“It's not just raining, boys, it's also raining hail. “This is a really strange sensation because of the nature of the design,” Evan Washburn said during the broadcast. “Actually only the field is affected, but you can see tiny white balls. That’s hail coming down here in Glendale.”

The roof closure process was finally completed at the end of the second quarter.

According to footballzebras.com, the game was the first NFL game ever in which a stadium's retractable roof was closed midway through the contest.

The outlet also noted that the decision whether a stadium closes its roof in the middle of an NFL game can only be made by the referee in coordination with football operations.

Oddly enough, another stadium in Arizona with a retractable roof had a problem.

Earlier this year, the Diamondbacks had to cancel a spring training game at Chase Field due to rain at the stadium.

Chase Field does have a retractable roof, but due to a cable issue they are unable to close the roof when fans are in the stadium, 12News reported.
