What should have been an easy three-hour flight turned into a traveling nightmare on Saturday for the Green Bay Packers . With the team set to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, the Packers were supposed to take off for Phoenix at 1:30 p.m. CT, but they ended up getting delayed for more than five hours due to a mechanical issue.
The Packers charter two planes each week, and the early flight took off around 1:15 p.m. CT with no issues, according to ESPN . The second flight, which was carrying players and most of the coaching staff, was the one that got delayed.
The Packers were flying Delta to Arizona, and although the airline tried to fix the mechanical issue, they weren't able to get it done. Instead, the Packers had to switch planes and take a new flight to Phoenix.
