by Mike Cole | Jan 13, 2017 | 1 Min Read

There’s inclement weather in the forecast Sunday in Kansas City, so the NFL is going to primetime.

The Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers were scheduled to kick off at 1:05 p.m. ET on Sunday in an AFC divisional-round matchup, but the NFL announced Friday the game now will be played at 8:20 p.m. ET with an ice storm in the forecast for Sunday afternoon.

This now makes Chiefs-Steelers the final game of the weekend. The other AFC divisional game, featuring the Houston Texans and New England Patriots, is scheduled for Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.
