One player for Pittsburgh can counter one of the NFL's most explosive tandems

Few matchups test a defense’s speed like facing Miami, and this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ hopes of slowing down one of the NFL’s most explosive tandems lean heavily on the linebacker tasked with matching that tempo.

For HC Mike Tomlin and company, Pittsburgh enters Week 15 riding high after a gritty 27–22 road win over Baltimore, but the challenge ramps up quickly with the Dolphins coming to town on a four-game heater. Miami hasn’t lost in a month, and everything they do is fueled by pure speed -- from De'Von Achane's acceleration to Jaylen Waddle’s ability to stress every blade of grass horizontally.
