ST. LOUIS -- The start of the St. Louis Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers game has been delayed Sunday afternoon because the turf near the south end zone caught fire during pre-game introductions.
The Rams were introducing their starting offense about 10 minutes before the game when a flame from the machine that is supposed to spit fire directly in the air caught the turf. Edward Jones Dome employees quickly ran on to the field to extinguish the fire but the residue left a mess about 10 feet wide.
