BALTIMORE—The starting time of Sunday’s game between the Bears and Baltimore Ravens was moved back to 3:15 p.m. Chicago time on Friday because of an impending heavy snowstorm.The game was originally scheduled to start at Noon(CST). The Bears tried to fly into Baltimore a day early Friday,but mechanical problems with their aircraft as well as the BWI airport being already snow packed,moved the Bears departure back to the original departure day of Saturday. With between a foot and a half to two feet of snow expected to hit the “Beltway”,there is now some doubt about the Bears even getting to Baltimore by Saturday night. An estimated 10-15 inches of snow is expected to fall in Maryland, beginning shortly before midnight on Friday and ending in the early-morning hours Sunday.
