NFL Facility Remains Without Power After Major Storm In Week 12

11/21/2024 02:37 PM

We've reached the point in the NFL season where Mother Nature is undoubtedly going to impact some games. 

For starters, this Thursday night's game between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers is expected to feature a mix of rain and snow. Although it won't be an issue for this Sunday's showdown between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers, Lambeau Field got hammered with snow this afternoon. 

Last but certainly not least, the Seattle Seahawks are dealing with a power outage at their facility this week due to a storm that hit the area. 

Unfortunately for the Seahawks, they're still without power and hot water right now. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said the team could move Friday's practice to Lumen Field because of the power outage.  

"Seahawks facility still without power," Garafolo said. "No hot water for the players as well. Generators doing what they can. Practice at the facility today but might be moved to Lumen Field tomorrow. Prep for a big game against the Arizona Cardinals continues."

The timing of this development is brutal for the Seahawks. They have a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Cardinals this Sunday. 

At 5-5, the Seahawks could tie the Cardinals for the best record in the division with a win this Sunday. The fact that their preparation time has been hindered by the power outage in Seattle is downright brutal. 

Luckily for the Seahawks, they still have a few more days to properly install their game plan for Week 12. It'll be interesting to see what Mike Macdonald has in store following last week's comeback win over the 49ers. 

Kickoff for the Cardinals-Seahawks game is at 4:25 p.m. ET.
