The Pittsburgh Steelers were forced to make an emergency landing overnight while heading back to Pittsburgh from Las Vegas.
The Steelers direct flight to Pittsburgh was diverted to Kansas City.
Steelers Director of Communication Burt Lauten said on X/Twitter, that everyone was safe and plans were being made to return to Pittsburgh.
There was an issue with oil pressure with one of the engines, reportedly.
KDKA Radio’s Marty Griffin was in contact with people on the plane. They tell him they landed around 5 a.m. EST.
He says no one felt anything out of the ordinary while on the plane.
Emergency crews arrived on the scene to inspect the plane.
A replacement plane will bring the Steelers back to Pittsburgh late morning, early afternoon.
Injured defensive lineman Cam Heyward had a little fun with the situation on social media.
