The Jacksonville Jaguars game was delayed due to severe weather, specifically lightning strikes near EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. The game was stopped with 8:32 remaining in the second quarter when the Jaguars were leading the Carolina Panthers 10-3. Players and coaches were sent to the locker rooms for safety, and fans in open areas were asked to move to protected zones. The delay lasted about 75 minutes before the game resumed. This is in line with NFL safety protocols to avoid playing during lightning in the vicinity of the stadium to protect players, coaches, and spectators.
