Steelers vs. Rams Week 3 game delayed

The Pittsburgh Steelers and St. Louis Rams were all set for the opening kickoff. The Steelers had won the toss and elected to receive the opening kick when it was made known during the Rams' player introductions the pyrotechnics used caught the field on fire. The turf field then was examined by officials and coaches before announcing it would be a 10-minute delay.
