The\u00a0Kansas<\/span>\u00a0City Chiefs have touched down in Denver\u00a0after a day of travel chaos<\/span>\u00a0that saw their flight to Colorado delayed for hours.<\/p>\n

The back-to-back\u00a0Super Bowl<\/span>\u00a0champions face the Broncos in their final regular season game of the NFL season on Sunday.<\/p>\n

After a winter storm left them stranded on the runway for four hours, the Chiefs eventually left Kansas City with\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and Travis Kelce among those seen walking off the plane in snowy Denver on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Mahomes is being rested for the game against the Broncos, with the Chiefs having already secured the No 1 seed in the AFC.<\/p>\n

There was some doubt over whether Mahomes would travel with the team, given he and his wife Brittany is expecting their third child \u2018any day now\u2019.<\/p>\n

Kelce<\/span>\u00a0could also sit out Sunday\u2019s game but the tight end was filmed walking on to the runway in Colorado, too.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Fox4 News,\u00a0the Chiefs were originally due to leave for Denver around 2:45pm on Saturday. But it wasn\u2019t until around 6:30pm ET when they finally set off.<\/p>\n

The storm led to \u2018rapid ice accumulation\u2019 and forced the authorities to close the airfield at Kansas City International Airport \u2013 before the Chiefs could leave.<\/p>\n

Andy Reid<\/span>\u2018s side take on the 9-7 Broncos at 4:25pm ET on Sunday. It is typically only a two-hour flight from Kansas City to Denver.\u00a0But their travel plays hit a further snag on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to Fox4 News, the airport\u2019s de-icing machine malfunctioned, delaying the departure of flights.<\/p>\n

Some planes, it was said, were even diverted to Omaha,\u00a0Nebraska<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 more than 500 miles east of Denver.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the Chiefs attempted to alter their travel plans in order to leave earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

But the charter plane carrying them to Denver was late arriving into Kansas City, forcing Reid and Co to stick to their scheduled departure time.<\/p>\n

Shortly after 5:30pm ET, it was announced that the runways would soon reopen \u2018and resume normal operations\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
