MILWAUKEE, WI —In what experts are hailing as a groundbreaking feat of endurance, local man Kyle Ferguson shattered previous records by falling asleep just nine minutes into Thursday’s Thanksgiving NFL matchup.

Ferguson, 34, reportedly settled into his recliner after consuming half a plate of turkey, only to drift off before the first commercial break. Family members confirmed he muttered, “This is gonna be a good one,” seconds before his eyelids gave out.

“It’s incredible,” said sports historian Paul Redman. “The combination of tryptophan, boredom, and Joe Buck’s commentary usually takes at least one quarter to knock someone out.”

Attempts to rouse Ferguson during halftime were unsuccessful, though he briefly stirred to complain that someone muted the TV. Sources say he woke up in the fourth quarter just in time to declare the game “classic” without checking the score.
