More weather delays! The Miami Dolphins game against the Tennessee Titans became the second game of the week with a weather delay after the Falcons and Eagles game was delayed Thursday night. Lightning was seen less than two kilometers from Hard Rock Stadium and teams were forced to go inside just before the end of the first half.
Lightning in Miami. They are suspending the game for the moment. 1:11 left in the first half.

Here are the official NFL rules regarding weather delays:
If, in the opinion of the Commissioner, it is reasonable to anticipate that the resumption of an interrupted match would not change his final result or interfere with any other competition problem between teams, he is entitled to terminate the game.
The game will not be canceled. Like Thursday night, we'll just have to wait and see how long the delay will take. It must be very frustrating for players and coaches to be late just before their semifinal. When the game resumes, there will only be one minute left in the second quarter.
The match resumed at 4:10 and lasted only 3 and a half minutes because of the two-hour delay:
The Dolphins-Titans will finally resume at 16:10 ET after a two hour delay in Miami. They have 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, half an hour and a half at half-time, where the teams will remain on the field, then the second half. pic.twitter.com/zvfzauilbU

After a long delay, another took place about 40 minutes after the start of the game.
Another love at first sight. Dolphins Titans have been further delayed.

The Dolphins had weather problems in their game of Week 1 last season. Scheduled to play Tampa Bay, the game was postponed to November due to hurricane Irma.
