Das Preseason Spiel zwischen den Tampa Bay Buccaneers und den Washington Redskins sollte ursprünglich am Donnerstag über die Bühne gehen, doch auf Grund von erwartetem Schlechtwetter wurde das Spiel auf Mittwoch (8:00 p.m. ET) vorverlegt.
Die Bucs gaben dies via Statement bekannt:
We have been in regular communication with administrators from the Tampa Sports Authority, Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa and the National Weather Service over the past day as it has become apparent that the most severe weather associated with Tropical Depression Nine will likely make landfall on Thursday. This decision was made by both teams in conjunction with the National Football League and local authorities in an effort to ensure the safety of our fans, players and stadium staff.
