Las Vegas Raiders suffer travel nightmare after mechanical issue on their flight The Las Vegas Raiders had a flight delayed for several hours on Saturday, forcing them to head to New Orleans late for their meeting with the Saints on Sunday.
Las Vegas was hoping to fly out in the morning, but a mechanical issue on its plane prevented it from doing so.
Kickoff for Las Vegas' matchup with New Orleans was at 1pm ET.
Instead, the Raiders had to wait for a second plane, which didn't get out of town until about 10pm ET.
Because of the delay, the Raiders had to hold team meetings at their facility instead of the team's hotel.
