| Pittsburgh, PA (Best E Casino) - The start of Monday's game between the winless Miami Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steelers has been delayed until around 9 p.m. (et) due to severe weather. A cold heavy rain, along with rumbles of thunder and lightning, enveloped Heinz Field as evening fell. To make matters worse, the new field surface, has been shown to be full of puddles. Grounds crews worked for many hours over the weekend to install new strips of sod that was placed on top of the old playing surface. The insta |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers own one of the NFL's greatest home-field advantages at Heinz Field, where winds howling off the three rivers torment opposing kickers and fans stomping on the upper-deck bleachers create a disruptive din. The Steelers, winners of 75 percent of their regular season home games since moving into Heinz in 2001, only wish they didn't have so many home fields. After four high school regional championship games and the South Florida-Pitt game were played on Heinz Field's fa |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Miami Dolphins linebacker Derrick Pope said Sunday he was feeling better after going to the hospital for medical attention. Pope missed practice Saturday and his status for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was questionable. Neither Pope nor the Dolphins disclosed Sunday what exactly the fourth-year linebacker was feeling or what doctors found, if anything. ``Everything checked out and I feel better,'' Pope said in a statement released by the team. ``I appreciate everyone's c |

| (Best E Casino) - For the Pittsburgh Steelers, this Monday's game provides an opportunity to get back on track. The Miami Dolphins, on the other hand, are hoping just to get untracked when the NFL's lone winless team visits Heinz Field for a Week 12 encounter with the current AFC North leaders. Both teams brought in new head coaches during the offseason, but each has produced decidedly different results in their debut campaigns. The Steelers have won seven of their first 10 games under the direction of 35-year-o |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Don't let their own talking fool you. The Pittsburgh Steelers miss Joey Porter, and a lot. They miss his motor mouth, which constantly runs at 100 miles per hour and has distracted, if not deterred, countless NFL players. His talking once led to Porter being thrown out of a game before it started and to dominating the attention at a Super Bowl for two days. ``He tries to intimidate other people,'' Steelers defensive lineman Chris Hoke said. ``He tries to make them scared.''

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and wide receiver Santonio Holmes won't play Monday against Miami after missing practice Friday for a third consecutive day. Polamalu (sprained knee) and Holmes (sprained ankle) were listed as doubtful at best by coach Mike Tomlin earlier in the week, and neither was expected to play. Both could miss multiple games. Tyrone Carter will replace Polamalu and Nate Washington will start for Holmes against the Dolphins (0-10) as the Steelers (7-3) try to b |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Ben Roethlisberger is threatening to break some of the Pittsburgh Steelers' most significant single-season passing records. Not all of them are marks he wants to own. With 23 touchdown passes, he is five away from tying Terry Bradshaw's 1978 total of 28 with six games to play. He is also on pace to have the best quarterback rating in team history, and Roethlisberger might challenge Bradshaw's 1979 record of 3,724 yards with a few more big games. Then there's the statistic Roethlisberger a |

But the Jets, who come into Big D fresh off a stunning 19-16 upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday, don't figure to present themselves on a Thanksgiving platter for Wade Phillips' streaking club, thus the need for an appropriate degree of focus for America's Team.
