Overview
- The Kansas City Chiefs' flight was delayed for more than four hours on Saturday due to icy conditions at Kansas City International Airport.
- The airport temporarily halted all flight operations due to rapid ice accumulation, with broken de-icing equipment adding to the delays.
- The Chiefs attempted to reschedule their flight earlier in the day but were unable to due to mechanical issues with their chartered plane.
- Kansas City has already secured the AFC's No. 1 seed and plans to rest key players, including Patrick Mahomes, in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.
- The game holds significant playoff implications for Denver, which needs a win to secure the final AFC playoff spot or help from other teams' losses.
