The Las Vegas Raiders had a flight delayed for several hours on Saturday, forcing them to head to New Orleans late for their meeting with the Saints on Sunday.

Las Vegas was hoping to fly out in the morning, but a mechanical issue on its plane prevented it from doing so. 

Instead, the Raiders had to wait for a second plane, which didn't get out of town until about 10pm ET.

Kickoff for Las Vegas' matchup with New Orleans was at 1pm ET.

Because of the delay, the Raiders had to hold team meetings at their facility instead of the team's hotel.

Las Vegas is 3-12 this season and has already been eliminated from playoff contention.
