The Steelers and Dolphins looked to be two teams headed in opposite directions. They still might be—only going the other way now. Miami was one of the hotter teams in football after a dismal start, while Pittsburgh had cooled more recently. Coming off a big win over the Ravens, however, they kept it going on Mondy Night Football.
Now, the Steelers beating the Dolphins might not mean they’re ready for the Rams or Broncos or Patriots or Bills. After all, Miami can’t win in cold weather, apparently, so that played into Pittsburgh’s advantage. But Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel wasn’t accepting that excuse.
