If officials deem the situation to be too dangerous -- particularly for tens of thousands of people gathering in one area -- moving to a neutral location, moving the game up to beat the storm, or postponing it could become options. The NFL has moved games to neutral cites in the past (notably the Bills and Jets playing in Detroit in 2014 after a huge snowstorm in upstate New York).
There is also precedent for the NFL postponing the game until later in the season. In 2008, after Hurricane Ike damaged NRG Stadium in Houston, the NFL re-worked the schedule giving the Ravens and Texans a Week 2 bye and played the matchup in Week 9. The Dolphins and Buccaneers both have a bye Week 11 this season.

Decision is to move the game to week 11.
So, Miami and Tampa Bay will have their bye week on week #1 this year.
