Why Was Eagles vs. Cowboys Game Delayed? When Will NFL’s Week 1 Game Resume After Suspension?

The Cowboys-Eagles game had an unexpected turn in the middle of the third quarter when play was abruptly stopped at 24-20. Both teams were leading off the field as officials suggested a weather delay. The timing could not have been worse, given that the game was getting lively at the Lincoln Financial Field. Though thunder and lightning compelled a temporary halt, the league verified that the game was merely interrupted, not called off. Players will return as soon as conditions improve, and the action shall resume shortly, approximately in 15 minutes, i.e., 11:30 pm ET.

11:15pm ET is when they think the lightning is going to clear, which means the game could resume at about 11:30pm ET, per @miketirico.

It’s gonna be a long night. https://t.co/0xilGig5gV
