The NFL currently has no plans to delay or postpone Sunday's Week 13 game between the Chiefs and Panthers at Arrowhead Stadium. The status of the game was put in doubt after Saturday morning's tragedy involving the murder-suicide of Jovan Belcher. The Chiefs linebacker took his own life at the team's facility. A little more than 24 hours later, the team is scheduled to play the Panthers at Arrowhead.

As of early Saturday afternoon, the NFL is still planning to play the game as scheduled at 1 p.m. ET, according to FOX’s Jay Glazer:

The possibility of the game being delayed has certainly not been foreclosed, however, as the Chiefs and the league continue to be in contact about the best course of action, via Glazer:
League and Chiefs have been on phone all morning, they don't just make a quick decision
