The Pittsburgh Steelers took a slight detour following their 23-18 win Sunday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Instead of flying directly back to Pittsburgh like originally planned, the plane took an emergency landing in Kansas City.

“Our team charter plane was unexpectedly diverted to Kansas City early this morning on our way back to Pittsburgh following our game in Las Vegas,” Steelers senior director of communications Burt Lauten tweeted. “Everyone on the plane is safe, and we are making necessary plans to arrive back in Pittsburgh later today.”

According to KDKA, the plane stopped in Kansas City around 4 a.
