Rain ending as fans enter

I arrived at Dolphin Stadium about 3 p.m. today after a 90-minute bus ride over, and stadium workers were in the midst of using push lawnmower-style dryers on the field to combat the rain and drizzle that hit overnight. The rain has stopped for now, and fans have begun to enter the stadium.

The weather, a big topic down here, hasn't been nearly as beautiful as the last few days, but if rain doesn't start up again, it shouldn't be that much of a factor. I expect the Bears have every intention of running the ball extensively whether it's semi-sloppy or not. However, it wouldn't surprise me to see Rex Grossman go deep early just to keep the Colts honest. As for the Colts, they'll stick with their usual game plan. If we've learned anything this week, it's that coach Tony Dungy believes in sticking with his routine and his regular approach.
