How fitting that the season’s first game, featuring the Eagles and Cowboys, will last a lot longer than many expected.
With less than five minutes to go in the third quarter, the game would come back from commercial with the broadcasters talking about the weather.
Fans were then told that the game was going to be suspended due to the weather.
It wasn’t raining, but lightning was certainly coming that way towards Lincoln Financial Field. Soon, players from both the Eagles and Cowboys would leave the field.
Then, a message from the stadium would tell fans what was going on and what they could do to stay safe during the severe thunderstorm.
In a game that featured Jalen Carter being ejected for spitting, the first game of the year has truly had it all.
The Eagles unveiled their Super Bowl championship banner shortly before their season-opening game with the Cowboys.
At the top of the stadium, the banner was covered with a black tarp until the unveiling.
Both teams have been scoring at will, and we remain with a 24-21 score as we wait for players to return to the field once they get the all-clear.
