Ricky was MIA in 2004

Watching tonight's game, it's hard not to think about the last time a Miami-Pittsburgh game was delayed by weather. This was in 2004, when Hurricane Jeanne turned the Week 3 contest into a night game played in sloppy conditions. The Dolphins had Dave Wannstedt as their coach, A.J. Feeley as their quarterback, and Leonard Henry as their starting running back. Ricky Williams's excellent yoga adventure was just getting started.

That was Ben Roethlisberger's first NFL start, and the Super Bowl Champion Steelers often cited that weekend in retrospect as a pivotal time because of the bonding that took place while waiting out the storm in the team hotel. There wasn't a touchdown scored that night until the fourth quarter, when Ben Roethlisberger hit a diving Hines Ward in the corner of the end zone.

The way the field looks tonight, we could be looking at a similar lack of scoring.
