The start of the Hall of Fame game has been delayed due to “severe” weather conditions

Fans had to wait a little longer before seeing the official start of the 2022 NFL season. “Adverse” weather caused the start of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game to be delayed from its original 8 p.m. start. ET. The game is scheduled to start at 20:40

Thunder and heavy rain began to batter Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium shortly before kickoff. But around 8:20, the storm began to clear, prompting the players to return to the field. Fans also returned to their seats after being told to reach the dugout.

The sun also reappeared shortly after the players resumed pre-game, creating a picturesque backdrop.

Thursday marked the first time that Derek Carr and Davante Adams passed as teammates at the NFL level. The duo enjoyed a successful partnership during their time together at Fresno State.

Thursday night’s game is a homecoming for Josh McDaniels, who played high school football in the stadium where he will coach his first game as the Raiders’ head coach.
