Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers Wild Card Preview
The Miami Dolphins will head to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers this Sunday at 1:05 PM in the AFC Wild Card playoff game between the third and sixth seeds of the NFL. This will be a tough one for Miami to win with Tannehill out, and multiple injuries in the secondary including Byron Maxwell.
The Steelers are for the first time in a long time completely healthy with Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell both on the field. This hasn't really happened for them in the playoffs. This is not a good matchup for the Dolphins especially with a banged up secondary going into this game.
If the Dolphins have any hope of winning this game it will be on offense. With weapons Jay Ajayi, Jarvis Landry, and DeVante Parker in the lineup with Matt Moore as quarterback this squad can definitely put up some points. Unfortunately a shootout with Ben Roethlisberger is probably the last thing Miami needs to win this game.
On defense Miami needs to at least limit Antonio Brown and keep the running game of Bell at bay. If they can stop one of these things that would be a huge victory for the Dolphins.
Overall it doesn't look great for Miami to win this game. If they go into Pittsburgh and win it would probably be considered a miracle. Hopefully they can do it and anything is possible in the playoffs, but the reality is Pittsburgh is better than Miami and will probably not win this game. The final score will be Pittsburgh 24 Miami 17.
