Las Vegas Raiders suffer travel nightmare after mechanical issue on their flight

The Las Vegas Raiders had a flight delay of several hours on Saturday, leaving them late to New Orleans for their meeting with the Saints on Sunday.

Las Vegas hoped to depart in the morning, but a mechanical problem with the plane prevented that.

Instead, the Raiders had to wait for a second plane, which didn’t leave the city until around 10:00 PM ET.

Kickoff for the game between Las Vegas and New Orleans was at 1:00 PM ET.

The delay forced the Raiders to hold team meetings at their facility instead of the team’s hotel.

Las Vegas is 3-12 this season and has already been eliminated from the playoffs.
