Fans
The game is being delayed because of the weather, and fans are not happy about it. The game was supposed to start at 1:00pm ET, but it is now being delayed until 3:30pm ET. Some fans are stuck in traffic, while others are waiting in line to get into the stadium.
Players
The reason for the delay is player safety. With the game being played in Kansas City, there is a concern that the players would not be able to stay hydrated enough during the game. The lower temperature in Kansas City means that the ‒ humidity will be much higher, which can lead to dehydration.
There is also a concern that the field in Kansas City may not be able to hold up to the heat and humidity. The turf in Arrowhead Stadium is a natural grass field, which means that it will be more likely to suffer from heat and humidity than artificial turf.
The decision to delay the game was made by the NFL, in consultation with the teams and the broadcast partners. The game will now be broadcast on CBS at 8:20pm ET.
Television Schedule
The game was originally scheduled to be televised on CBS at 1 p.m. EDT, but was pushed back to 4:25 p.m. EDT to accommodate the New England Patriots’ game against the Carolina Panthers, which was delayed by severe weather in Charlotte, N.C.
