The Bucs - Dolphins game is not going to be played in Miami on Sunday due to the potential for hurricane destruction. At this point the most likely scenario is that they play the game in November when both teams have a bye week. But the two teams don't want to have to play 16 weeks in a row without a bye, so the NFL has told the Bucs that one of the choices is that they could play this weekend in either Pittsburgh or Philadelphia.
Hurricane Irma Bowl?

Love to have them in Heinz Field. Maybe Dolphins can have better luck than the last time they were there... 
In all seriousness, Irma is looking very bad. I have some family in FL and hoping they will stay safe where they're at. Especially scary since they just bought a house right next to the water.

A mutually open later-season bye week for Miami and Tampa Bay. I doubt that was a coincidence - actually some foresight by the NFL scheduler. Not that he was predicting a hurricane, but it's not completely unexpected for Florida in September.
I wonder how they would distribute tickets if this game does come to the Burgh. I wouldn't mind going.
The last time Jameis Winston played in Heinz Field, I think he had only one incompletion.
Hope your family in Florida stays safe. Wife has relatives in Florida as well so we are also concerned. I grew up near the beach in NY and went through a few hurricanes in early 1960s with max winds in mid-90s. Hard to imagine winds way above 100.
Vowed I would never retire anywhere southern coastal subject to hurricanes!

I think it was 2 but you may be right. I gave up on Matt house in the first quarter of that game.
