why is jaguars game delayed

The Jaguars game was delayed due to severe weather conditions, specifically lightning strikes near EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. The game was paused in the second quarter with 8:32 remaining, as a precaution for player, coach, and fan safety. The delay lasted roughly 75 minutes before the game resumed. The intense weather included thunderstorms and lightning nearby, which forced players and coaches to retreat to the locker rooms and fans in open areas to seek shelter until the storm passed.
