The 2024 NFL season will have to wait a little longer to kick off.

One hour before the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were set to kick off against the Baltimore Ravens, a thunderstorm struck Arrowhead Stadium, forcing fans to retreat from their seats to the concourse area and both teams to flee indoors from their on-field warmups.

However, the heavy rainstorm quickly passed and kickoff was soon rescheduled to 8:40 p.m. ET to give players enough time to finish their warmups after a roughly 40-miniute interruption. A rainbow was even seen near Arrowhead Stadium.

Once the teams are ready to kick off, they will wait to watch the Chiefs unveil the banner celebrating their second consecutive Super Bowl win and third in the past five seasons.
