Miami Dolphins just did something in Pittsburgh snow that could end their years-long cold game nightmare

The Miami Dolphins are historically a poor team in the cold. With the Pittsburgh Steelers welcoming them in a game that will occur in below-freezing temperatures, the Dolphins flew up to Pittsburgh early and practiced in a snow storm on Saturday.

The Pittsburgh area received anywhere from five-to-eight inches around the city and its suburbs, and the Dolphins practiced at Joe Walton Stadium on Robert Morris University’s campus near the Pittsburgh International Airport.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is trying to turn around a narrative that his team can not win in cold weather situations. They have run the ball well over the last four games, amassing over 160 yards in each game for the first time since the 1970s.

“(Practicing in Pittsburgh on Saturday night) was something that was considered in the offseason,” McDaniel said. “The odd part of the schedule is a Monday night on the road. It always feels like you’re so far removed from the last time you were on the football field. Doing it this way allows us to have our final full-speed practice about 48 hours from kickoff. It’ll be good, I think it’s an added bonus that we get to get ourselves into the environment, but realistically, that’s something we’ve been thinking about for a while to keep consistency about 48 hours from kickoff, having your last activity.”

When the temperature is below 40 degrees, the Dolphins have lost 12 straight games. That is the stat the Dolphins hope to crack by acclimating to the cold earlier than just Monday night, but the Steelers have also practiced outside at Acrisure Stadium as they prepare for this game.

Janet Lynn Meyer, 73, of Pittsburg, KS, was called home to be with the Lord on January 17, 2026, at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburg, Kansas.

Janet was born on February 27, 1952, to Lewis Charles and Elsie Mae (Kroenke) Stoll in Brazilton, Kansas. She attended Emmanuel Lutheran Church Grade School and graduated from Girard High School. She married Gilbert Meyer on October 24, 1970. They later divorced.

Janet was a homemaker and enjoyed puzzles and crocheting items to donate to those in need, as well as spending time with her family and friends.

She worked for many years at Eastside Cafe, a place where many people came to know her well. She also volunteered at Countryside Christian School, where several of her grandchildren attended. She had an incredibly generous heart and was there for anyone who needed her. She was also famously stubborn – a quality that made her unforgettable.

She is survived by a son, Ted Meyer (Shawna) of Topeka, KS; three daughters, Tracy Atkinson (Chuck) of Dearborn, MO, Becky Nicklaus (Shannon) of Pittsburg, KS, Jennifer Muckala (TJ Barnow) of Pittsburg, KS; two sisters, Joyce Hayward (Jerry) of McCune, KS and Patty Good of Schertz, TX; grandchildren: Joe Meyer (Heather), Orin Meyer, Wyatt Meyer, Shay Meyer, Conner McLendon, Maura McLendon, William Atkinson, Sydney Nicklaus (Reece Watson), Evan Nicklaus, Alex Muckala, Jackson Muckala, Rylinn Girth-Barnow, Brynnley Girth-Barnow, and great grandchildren: Mac Meyer and Emmitt Watson.

She is preceded in death by her parents and three sisters, Betty Garnett, Wilma Sandlin, and Vonne Kmiec.

The family will receive visitors on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at Brenner Mortuary in Pittsburg, KS. A private family burial will be held at a later date.
