Def Leppard's current single Let's Go was played during ESPN show Monday Night Football in the USA last night.
The show featured a game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Detroit Lions. It is one of the most popular US TV shows.
Parts of the song were played briefly going in and out of ad breaks at least three times during the game coverage.
This comes almost 22 years to the day since the band filmed an entire opening sequence for the show in 1993.
On 4th October 1993 they were part of the opening titles. It featured the band pretending to play and messing around with an American football in an empty stadium set to the electric version of 'Two Steps Behind'. This was done to promote the 5th October North American release of Retro-Active - released 22 years ago this week.
Just over one year ago the band played before an NFL game at Wembley Stadium as part of the International Series of games played in London.
Watch that 1993 opening sequence on this YouTube playlist as well as the footage from the 2014 London show.
The first of this year's games took place on Sunday with the New York Jets beating the Miami Dolphins 27-14.
Many thanks to all who messaged about this news.
A lyric video for the song was released on 2nd October on YouTube.
The song was premiered on Rolling Stone's website on 15th September.
It is currently only available to buy on iTunes and also instantly downloadable when you pre order the full album.
