JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The game between Carolina and Jacksonville is being delayed by severe weather and lightning in the area.
Players and coaches headed to the locker rooms with 8:32 remaining in the second quarter and with the Jaguars leading 10-3. Fans in open areas were asked to move to “protected areas” as a thunderstorm storm hovered northeast of EverBank Stadium.
There was no timetable for the game to resume.
It was the debut of first-time Jaguars head coach Liam Coen, whose team took the lead on Trevor Lawrence's 6-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Long. The drive came after Carolina's Bryce Young threw an interception.
