Thunderstorms Threaten Rams vs. Panthers Game
Thunderstorms are posing a significant threat to the scheduled Rams vs. Panthers wild-card playoff game on Saturday. The game is set to kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on Fox. The weather in Charlotte is expected to be unpredictable, with forecasts suggesting possible thunderstorms.
Potential Game Delays
The possibility of a weather delay has raised concerns within the NFL. A delay could disrupt the flow of the game, creating chaos for both teams and fans. If thunderstorms arise, the NFL announced that the start time for the following game, the Packers vs. Bears, could shift by 10 minutes.
Impact on Broadcasts
- Rams vs. Panthers: Scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox
- Packers vs. Bears: Streaming at 8:00 p.m. ET on Prime Video
If the Rams vs. Panthers game experiences delays due to lightning, fans could witness two playoff games occurring simultaneously. This scenario could particularly frustrate viewers in Chicago and Milwaukee, where the Packers-Bears game is broadcast on the same Fox affiliate airing the Rams vs. Panthers matchup.
As the situation develops, fans and teams alike will need to stay informed about weather conditions and potential delays. The excitement surrounding the Rams-Panthers playoff game continues despite the ominous forecast.
