It appears that the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys will make fans wait a little longer for their anticipated rivalry game.

The 3-1 Steelers are hosting the 2-2 Cowboys in Pittsburgh this week for Sunday Night Football, and Mother Nature bends or kneels for no one, including the ‘Steel City’.

Depressing clouds, grey skies, and rain storms paint the picture in Pittsburgh. The specific weather concerns seem to stem from a lightning delay, which viewers around the world can see clearly above Acrisure Stadium.

Waiting for the weather to clear up will be ideal for both teams, however, playing conditions could still worsen once the game begins.

There appears to be no timetable in sight for a return, but we at Steelers Wire will keep you updated as fans eagerly await the start of this historic rivalry between the NFC’s Dallas Cowboys and the AFC’s Pittsburgh Steelers. The teams will both continue to prepare and stay loose for the games imminent start.
