After a big win last week, the Green Bay Packers have a great chance to keep the momentum going against the Arizona Cardinals — if they can get to Glendale.

The Packers’ flight to Arizona was reportedly delayed by several hours due to mechanical issues with the team plane, per multiple reports. The team’s departure was delayed by more than five hours before the players and coaches switched to a different plane, with the plane sitting on the tarmac prior to that point.

Green Bay posted a photo of the players arriving at the airport about 2 1/2 hours before the first report about the mechanical issue from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, who at the time reported that the delay was approaching its fifth hour. The team has yet to make any announcements about the delay.

The Packers’ game against the Cardinals is set to take place at 1:25 p.m. PT on Sunday. It is unclear whether the delay will affect the team’s preparation for that game.
