The Pittsburgh Steelers’ plane ride home from Houston was just as bumpy as their performance in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans. According to team’s spokesman Burt Lauten, the Steelers team plane was delayed from taking off from Houston due to mechanical issues.
According to Lauten, the team has now been cleared to fly to Pittsburgh.
We were delayed this evening due to a mechanical issue with our charter plane following the game in Houston. We have now been cleared to safely fly back to Pittsburgh.

According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Steelers were stuck for “hours” on the tarmac for the second straight week.
