Weather Disrupts Hall of Fame Game and Ceremony

Severe weather has disrupted several football events in Canton, Ohio. The Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony for seven players, including Bears legends Devin Hester and Julius Peppers, was delayed due to heavy rain and lightning, with potential rescheduling at a smaller venue if conditions persist. Similarly, the 2024 Hall of Fame Game between the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans was called off in the third quarter due to inclement weather, with the Bears leading 21-17. Both teams held out their starters, and the game showcased the NFL's new kickoff rules before the suspension.
