Storm Disrupts Panthers vs. Jaguars as Lightning Delays NFL Matchup

The highly anticipated Week 1 clash between the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium has been momentarily interrupted due to a lightning warning, casting a shadow over the game. The delay occurred in the second quarter, with the Jaguars holding a narrow 10-3 lead at the time.

Initial Play Before the Delay

Early in the game, conditions at EverBank Stadium appeared favorable, but the forecast quickly changed. The Jaguars managed to capitalize on their opportunities, scoring their sole touchdown through a precise pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence to tight end Hunter Long in the second quarter. Prior to that, they had added a field goal in the first quarter to establish a lead. The Panthers’ scoring came from kicker Ryan Fitzgerald, who successfully converted a field goal, contributing to their total of three points.

Weather Conditions Prompt Delay

As the game progressed, storm clouds gathered ominously over the stadium. According to meteorologist Ella Dorsey, a robust storm system was moving in from the north, necessitating the delay for the safety of everyone involved—players, coaches, staff, and fans alike. Dorsey indicated that this system is not moving quickly, suggesting that the interruption could be prolonged.

“Strong storms just north of the stadium, and they aren’t moving anywhere. Could be a while before the game gets started again,” she noted in a recent update.

Awaiting Resumption

As fans and players await the resumption of the game, the NFL has implemented its standard protocol for weather delays. The safety of all individuals in attendance remains the league’s top priority. Updates will continue to be provided as the situation evolves and as officials assess the conditions for a safe return to play.
