The Miami Dolphins will travel to Pittsburgh to face the home team Pittsburgh Steelers in a key Monday night matchup with playoff implications for both teams. Before this match, the Dolphins had won four straight games and were now pushing themselves to get the extension for their season to move into December. The Steelers sought a victory at Acrisure Stadium to solidify their position and strengthen their own postseason chances.
What to expect?
The Dolphins were very much reliant on their attack to gain the four-game winning streak. De’Von Achane was a standout for them and helped to gain a significant lead in Miami’s ground game. In Week 14, Achane had to exit the tournament due to his rib injury, though it is expected that he will be available in this match.

For the Steelers, Aaron Rodgers and D.K. Metcalf have performed more effectively recently. In Week 14’s win over the Ravens, Rodgers completed several deep passes to Metcalf on their way to 284 passing yards, marking one of their better offensive outings of the season.
Defensively, both teams have something to prove. Miami’s defence has tightened up recently, while Pittsburgh's defence will see a lack of firepower as star pass rusher T.J. Watt is unable to play the game due to a partially collapsed lung surgery.
It is expected that the cold December night in Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium will have an impact on play.
