According to a tweet from CBS Sports Lead Reporter Tracy Wolfson, the Kansas City Chiefs’ plane is “stranded” due to ice accumulation at Kansas City International Airport ahead of the defending Super Bowl champions’ Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

In a post to Twitter, Wolfson indicated that the Chiefs were expected to land in Denver this afternoon but are now delayed due to the weather at MCI.

It remains to be seen how long Kansas City’s players will have to wait at the newly renovated aerodrome, but the climactic inconvenience is sure to be a less-than-ideal way for the Chiefs to get their trip out West started.

Due to the airport being closed, Chiefs plane stranded as of now. They were set to arrive at 3. #Chiefs https://t.co/YfiQART2wz

Though a travel hiccup like this isn’t likely to affect the team’s ability to compete against the Broncos on Sunday, fans in Kansas City will have to wait to see exactly how the delay is expected to take, and what time the Chiefs end up landing in Denver on Saturday evening.
