The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Miami Dolphins on Monday night. The Steelers are 7-6 and atop the AFC North, while the Dolphins are 6-7. Miami is trying to claw its way back into the playoff picture. And Pittsburgh is trying to solidify its claim to the North.
But when you stop to look at this matchup, there is a lot more going on here. The Steelers ruled star OLB T.J. Watt out due to an issue with his lung. Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa historically has struggled when the temperature gets quite low. And Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s teams really get amped for Monday Night Football.
