Update: 11:00pm ET

The NBC broadcast reported that players will be back on the field at 11:30pm ET.


The Dallas Cowboys were marching down the field on the Philadelphia Eagles in the third quarter and then… disaster struck.

Miles Sanders fumbled the ball and the Eagles recovered. Right after the disaster struck… it appeared that lightning was going to as well and an official lightning delay was called.

At the moment it is unknown when the Cowboys and Eagles are going to resume playing, but we will make sure to keep you updated when information is available. When the delay hit the Cowboys were trailing (which made the fumble all the more frustrating) 24-20 so their defense will be tasked with generating a points-less stop for the first time when they come out of this whole thing.

Time, and weather, will tell how and when this all ultimately comes to pass. One way or another it is going to provide quite the finish as the game was off to a fun start.
