The Pittsburgh Steelers took off from Pittsburgh International Airport just after 3:00 PM ET to travel to Buffalo for their playoff game against the Buffalo Bills on Monday afternoon. The flight was slightly delayed, but they ultimately took off and arrived just before 4:30 PM ET, just over 24 hours before the game’s scheduled kickoff, per flight tracking data from FlightAware.
The game was originally set to take place on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET, but heavy wind and snow caused unsafe travel conditions and forced the NFL’s hand into delaying the game until Monday. There are near-whiteout conditions in western New York right now, but the Steelers arrived safely.
