Unfortunately for all NFL fans in the world Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys have left the field this Sunday afternoon.
According to various sources, Mike Pereira from Fox Sports included, there was a lightning strike. This natural phenomenon happened within eight miles from Denver Broncos stadium which is coincidentally called Mile High Stadium.
At the moment in which the game was interrupted, there were 38 seconds left to play in the first quarter. The numbers on the score table were Broncos 7, Cowboys 0. Sources from NFL such is their own James Palmer say that the game could be delayed for an hour or even more.
Broncos announce teams will come out at 3:45 and play will resume at 4:00 pm.

The way things stand now, this forced time-out could be more beneficial to the Cowboys than to the Broncos. The Denver outfit was dominant on both sides of the ball. They have scored on their possession and made the Boys completely irrelevant in the match.
While the defensive performance was expected, Trevor Siemian and Broncos offense was the part of the team that also left a good impression. Siemian was skipping yards down the field on their second drive and managed to connect with Emmanuel Sanders for a touchdown. The final pass was 10 yards long. Broncos QB currently stands at 7-10 for 92 yards with one TD and no interceptions.
Due to weather, #Cowboys and #Broncos have been sent to the locker rooms.

Stay tuned for more information.
Press box announcement just stated we could be delayed up to an hour here in Denver.
