Game may be moved, crazy weather coming

https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2...rowns-mother-nature-could-wreck-sundays-game/

I do recall another Browns game with post-hurricane type rain a few years ago as well.

I think super bad weather probably helps them more than us, since we have better skilled position players and QB and this will even that out.

I was at the @Miami game when a hurricane hit. They made us evacuate our hotel to a inland hotel. Moved start time from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm. I believe we won 13-3.

Yep. Recall that game. One of the Steelers - Faneca? - said that the team sat around the hotel for five hours due to the delay, and became very close in the process.
 
Where would they move it or are they just talking about moving it to our bye week or stupid like that? I hope this really isn't an option. We would basically be giving up our bye week for a rain event. The wind won't be anywhere near hurricane winds or even tropical storm winds. Play the game.
 
Field looks good to me...

The game will be played in these conditions.
 
They were saying to move it to Monday night, but it appears this opinion was just one reporter; have not heard it repeated by anyone else. It's 100% chance of rain, but not even heavy by the looks of it.
 
Light rain wind starts at 11MPH now and goes up to 20MPH at 4pm.

Definitely playing as scheduled, and weather is now much less of a factor, which helps the Steelers significantly!
