The NFL opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, experienced a 20-minute delay on Thursday night due to a passing storm. The storm brought heavy rain and lightning, prompting a temporary halt to the scheduled 7:20 p.m. CDT kickoff time.
Following the storm, the teams agreed to a shortened 25-minute warmup session starting at 7 p.m. This adjustment allowed for a brief window to conduct pregame activities, including the raising of the Chiefs' latest Super Bowl banner, the national anthem performance, and the rendition of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing'.
