Jaguars Stuck on Tarmac for Seven Hours Amid Winter Storm Return Home

The Jacksonville Jaguars made their way back to Jacksonville early Monday after spending an exhausting seven hours stuck on the tarmac at Indianapolis International Airport due to a winter storm.

The National Weather Service indicated that the area experienced between 2 to 5 inches of snow, along with freezing drizzle and wind gusts reaching 40 mph in central Indiana. Although the Jaguars (4-13) aimed to depart before the storm peaked, their game against the Colts extended into overtime, resulting in a significant delay.

Ultimately, the team's charter flight was allowed to leave at 1 a.m. EST, landing in Jacksonville two hours later. This delay impacted owner Shad Khan's meeting with head coach Doug Pederson, which was meant to outline the team's future direction. Notably, the Kansas City Chiefs avoided a similar predicament by staying overnight in Denver after facing the Broncos.
