How does the NFL handle it if the game can't be resumed due to the lightening? I know how it works in baseball since it's fairly common but I can't remember it happening in an NFL game. I'm sure it has happened. I'm just clueless.

I don't believe an NFL game has ever been ended prematurely because of any kind of weather, aside from Pre-Season.

Edit: It did happen once, in 1935! See @Jersey Girl 's post below.

Kyler's stats probably won't end up looking great today, but he's played really well. The defense has been awesome so far!
Stats are for losers. Murray is operating efficiently which is what most of us our looking for. He did have about 5 throws off his back foot and that’s seldom good.
