       TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers landed in Charlotte,
       North Carolina, late Saturday night after a delay of more than
       seven hours brought on by mechanical issues with their plane, a
       team source told ESPN.
       According to the original flight plan, the team was scheduled to
       depart Tampa International Airport at 2:25 p.m. ET Saturday and
       arrive in Charlotte at 3:55 p.m. ET. The team eventually boarded
       a new plane that took off just after 10 p.m. ET and landed at
       11:27 p.m. ET.
       Before switching planes, the Bucs were on the tarmac for more
       than five hours, the source said. They held team meetings at the
       airport and ate a meal there, but it was in an area of the
       airport for chartered planes with restricted access.
       The team scattered about the building and went outdoors to
       accommodate social distancing.
       Tampa Bay is set to play the Carolina Panthers at 1 p.m. ET
       Sunday.
       NFL Network first reported that the team's flight was delayed.
