The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-10 in a game that was delayed twice due to inclement weather. The first delay occurred during halftime at Acrisure Stadium, lasting over 30 minutes as heavy wind and rain swept through the area. The second delay lasted nearly an hour, with the Cardinals leading 17-3 midway through the third quarter.

During the breaks, players and coaches used the time to make adjustments and stay warm. The Cardinals even held a dance-off in the locker room to keep their energy up. Despite the disjointed nature of the game, both teams remained focused and ready to play.

Before the first delay, officials asked fans in exposed areas to take cover in the concourse, and a scheduled dog race entertainment was canceled. Players were not aware of the delay until halftime was nearly over. After the first delay, players returned to the field and took extra time to warm up.

The second delay occurred when lightning struck nearby as the Cardinals were kicking an extra point, sending players back to the locker room for 53 minutes. Despite the disruptions, both teams remained focused on the game, with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin declining to attribute his team's performance to the delays.

As the skies cleared, rainbows appeared over the stadium, and fans chanted in support of the Steelers. The game continued, with the Cardinals ultimately securing their third win of the season.
