Dolphins-Steelers still set for Sunday

DAVIE, Fla. - The Miami Dolphins plan to play the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, despite the threat of Hurricane Jeanne.

The hurricane is expected to hit Florida's east coast this weekend, most likely Sunday morning. While a landfall near Miami isn't out of the question, the National Hurricane Center's projected path has the storm most likely striking more than 100 miles north of Pro Player Stadium. Still, the Miami area could be hit with strong wind and rain.

A decision on whether to play Sunday could come as late as Saturday. The Steelers flew to Miami Friday, one day early, to beat the storm.

Coach Dave Wannstedt ruled out the possibility of playing Saturday, but said the hurricane could force a postponement until Monday or Tuesday.
