PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sunday night’s showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys starts at 9:45 p.m. EDT.

The originally scheduled start time of 8:20 PM was postponed when a line of thunderstorms moved through downtown Pittsburgh around 8:00 PM

The Steelers were about to be introduced when the postponement was declared.

Because there was a lot of lightning around Acrisure Stadium, fans retreated to the concourse during the hours-long downpour.
