The Steelers-Rams game in St. Louis was delayed after a pyrotechnics fire sprang out as the Rams were running onto the field on Sunday.
Fire extinguishers did just that quickly, but cleaning crews had to be called in to fix burnt patches of the turf, along with the residue from the extinguishers.
As Shop-Vac’s entered, players left, returning to the locker rooms as crews cleaned, delaying the game by about 25 minutes.
