What to know

  • Browns led Tampa Bay 23-19 with the Buccaneers driving at Cleveland's 28-yard line when lightning stopped play at the two-minute warning.
  • NFL rules require a 30-minute wait after each nearby lightning strike before players can return, and the clock resets with every new strike.
  • The delay has stretched past two hours as of the latest reports, with some coverage suggesting it could challenge the league's longest weather-delay record.
  • A Browns win would be their first of the season and would see Deshaun Watson outplay former Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield in their first head-to-head meeting.

    • Zac Robinson schemes up screens like he is an alien who only ever was told what screen passes are, and never was allowed to watch successful ones! Like holy shit every time he tries it theres a defender waiting to meet the ball catcher multiple yards behind the line of scrimmage. The worst part is he will call a couple, watch them get blown up…
