Chiefs Flight Delayed by Ice Storm

The Kansas City Chiefs faced significant delays as they were stranded on the tarmac at Kansas City International Airport for over four hours due to an ice storm that led to the suspension of all flight operations. The team attempted to reschedule their departure, but mechanical issues and a broken de-icing machine further complicated the situation. Eventually, they were cleared to fly to Denver, arriving safely late Saturday evening just ahead of a major blizzard expected to hit the area. Although the Chiefs have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, the game against the Denver Broncos holds playoff implications for Denver. Coach Andy Reid has opted to rest star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and other key players for this final regular season game. The Chiefs' next playoff game is scheduled for January 18, after the regular season concludes.
