The game, which was to begin at 1 p.m. ET, has been scheduled to start now at 2:02 p.m. ET. The league said Nashville Mayor John Cooper requested the postponement in solidarity with other local workers who were asked to reduce power. Tennessee has been in the midst of rolling blackouts state-wide because of the deadly storm, which had forced more than 1,800 flight cancellations and 3,300 flight delays nationwide just today, according to FlightAware. An estimated 1.7 million in the U.S. are without power, according to Poweroutage.us.
The NFL has 11 games scheduled for Saturday ahead of three games on Christmas Day — all in cities that have escaped the dangerously cold winter conditions blanketing the Midwest and Eastern U.S. The night before in Nashville, the NHL’s Predators-Avalanche game at Bridgestone Arena was powered solely by generators. The Titans’ Nissan Stadium also has generator power.
