Steelers send MNF statement after crushing Dolphins with depleted defense

The Pittsburgh Steelers continued their domination at home on Monday Night Football, crushing the Dolphins 28-15. The score doesn't do it justice, even with a double-digit margin of victory. It was 28-3 late in the fourth, with the Steelers defense keeping the Dolphins under 100 yards until the final quarter.

There were many red flags concerning Pittsburgh's defense heading into the matchup. They suffered a surprise injury to T.J. Watt, lost starting corner James Pierre to a calf injury, and rookie standout Derrick Harmon was a last-second inactive after he appeared to be ready to return.
