You know that old joke about some witty soul from the stands of a football/baseball game who sees a referee/umpire make a call against that patron's team and yells out, "Yo ref/ump, do you need to borrow my glasses?"
Turns out referee Gene Steratore could have actually used the help in the first quarter of the Colts-Bengals game.
That's because the game had to be slightly delayed because Steratore was having contact lens issues.
As you can see here, via SB Nation:

Here's hoping that once Steratore's vision was restored, nobody thought to play "Three Blind Mice." Because refs/umps tend not to like that.
