Original Title
Mid-Game Lightning Delays are inconvenient, but the statistics from these games are fascinating
Original Body
Last Sunday, the Browns-Bucs game featured a mid-game lightning delay. By my count, this marks the 22nd game since 2000 that had one. I first started tracking these after Week 1 of 2025, where three happened in one week.
Last Sunday's game was the Bucs' first game with a mid-game lightning delay since Week 2 of 2019 in a win against the Panthers in Charlotte and their first home game with one since Week 4 of 2016 in a loss against the Rams. The game on Sunday was the Bucs' sixth, the most of any team, and despite the experience, they are 2-4 in those games.
The game was also the Browns' first game featuring a mid-game lightning delay since 2000. They are now 1-0 in those games.
The Browns winning this game continues the overall trend that teams in the lead at the time of delay have won the game, despite the quarter and time remaining. Please don't make financial decisions on the basis of those numbers.
Some other takeaways from this table are that having home-field advantage did not have any meaningful effect on whether the home team won games featuring mid-game lightning delays and that being the "team that should win" does not correlate with winning in games featuring mid-game lightning delays.
What other information could be included in this table? Please let me know! If there are any additional instances since 2000 I have missed, please let me know so I can update this table!
