LANDOVER, Md. -- The stadium lights dimmed while Kyle Boller's throw was in mid-air. The pass was incomplete -- just like the game.

With more lightning on the way, officials decided enough was enough. Saturday night's preseason game between the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Redskins was halted with 11:38 remaining in the third quarter, giving the Redskins an abbreviated 13-7 win.

"Football isn't played like this," Washington coach Joe Gibbs said, "going in and out and in and out."

Lightning had already delayed the opening kickoff by more than an hour, and the weather radar was one big multicolored tapestry of dangerous storms when play was stopped for good at 11:05 p.m. Fifty minutes later, the NFL commissioner's office determined the game would not resume.

By then, most of the meaningful football had been played. Both teams sent mostly reserves onto the field in the second half after using their starters for the first.

"You go out there in the second half, and the lights went out and you get the thunder in the background," Baltimore receiver Derrick Mason said. "First things first is safety of the players. A lot of younger guys were eager to play, because of course the cuts are coming and they want to show the coaches what they can do. It was unfortunate in that aspect."

HOPE THIS HELPS GETER DONE PEACE

Game or no game?

On CBS News last night they said the NFL ruled the game offical with stats and scores and all for the record books.
I didn't place a wager with a sports book.How are they treating this mess? Years ago a college game was called for lighting in the 3rd quarter.The books at the time treated it as a game except the over unders which were pushed.I'm
waiting to read how this is resolved?
What does your book say?

The most notorious instance of this was a few years ago when Wisconsin played at UNLV.

Tens of thousands of idiot cheeseheads went to Vegas for the game and they all bet the Badgers. In the meantime, several touts had huge plays on the OVER.

With eight minutes left, the power went out. Wisconsin was way ahead but the game was way under the total.

The Cheeseheads go back to their casinos to cash their tickets and are merely given refunds. Not knowing the rules, they raised hell. I hear it was hilarious.

I remember this game well because I had a big bet on the OVER and was saved from a huge loss.

The power outage was caused by a car accident but to this day many believe it was intentional.
