As Hurricane Ida barrels towards the Gulf Coast region and threatens to hit New Orleans as a Category 4 storm, the Saints canceled their preseason game against the Cardinals.
Arizona, however, was mid-flight when the announcement was made. In a tweet, the organization said their flight "is being diverted back to Phoenix."
The game was originally slated for Saturday, Aug. 28 at a 7 p.m. CT kickoff time, but that was later adjusted on Friday to a 12 p.m. CT kickoff in preparation for Hurricane Ida, which is expected to hit the Gulf Coast on Sunday.
