Steelers-Rams game delayed after pyrotechnics display sets game turf on fire (VIDEO)

Sunday's Steelers-Rams game in St. Louis was delayed almost 25 minutes after pregame pyrotechnics set a patch of the artificial turf on fire during the Rams entry to the Edward Jones Dome field.

The fire extinguisher reportedly left skin irritants all over the artificial grass and the start time was pushed back to vacuum it all up.

Count your blessings. These special effects guys could be shooting off the cannon at Tampa Bay Buccaneers games.
