After Ronnie Hillman scored a 1-yard touchdown to give the Denver Broncos a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter over the Seattle Seahawks, the teams were called off the field as a lightning storm was bearing down on Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

The delay ultimately lasted 45 minutes before the game resumed with 1:30 left to play in the first quarter.

Russell Wilson remained in the game on offense for Seattle to start their second possession of the game. Wilson completed his first two passes to Jermaine Kearse for 11 yards and Doug Baldwin for 18 yards to pick up their first first-down of the game prior to the end of the quarter.
