Cowboys vs. Panthers: Start delayed due to lightning, weather
By Patrick Walker - 14 minutes ago
We've all waited for the season opener to kickoff between the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers.
Now, thanks to Mother Nature, we'll have to wait a bit longer for things to get underway at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Initially scheduled for a 4:25pm EST kickoff time, it had been predicted for days leading into the event there would be a storm interfering, but reports early in the day showed a chance the rain would hold off. That isn't the case however, with it beginning earlier than expected, accompanied with lightning, forcing the opener into a weather delay -- according to Pat Doney of NBC 5 in Dallas.
This marks the second game of Week 1 that's been delayed due to inclement weather, with Thursday Night Football between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles also suffering a late start.
This is a developing story.
