ST. LOUIS -- Sunday's game between the St. Louis Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers was delayed almost 30 minutes because the turf near the south end zone caught fire during pregame introductions.

The Rams were introducing their starting offense about 10 minutes before the game when a flame from the machine that is supposed to spit fire directly into the air caught the turf.
