A lightning storm delayed Ricky Williams' return to the NFL tonight. And then, as if the Miami Dolphins didn't have enough trouble trying to avoid a "perfect" season, Williams hurt his shoulder and left the game late in the first half of his team's 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was the first 3-0 game in the NFL since 1993, the Associated Press reports.

Day-long rains left Heinz Field a quagmire, and the game got inside one minute remaining before Pittsburgh's Jeff Reed kicked a 24-yard field goal to break the scoreless tie. Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed three passes to Hines Ward on the winning drive. The Dolphins fell to 0-11 with their sixth loss by three points or less.
