Dolphins-Steelers on MNF: Miami Faces Elimination as Watt Sits in Frigid Pittsburgh

A win keeps the Dolphins’ wild-card bid alive as Pittsburgh looks to preserve its AFC North edge.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at Acrisure Stadium on ESPN/ABC to close Week 15.
  • T.J. Watt is out after surgery for a collapsed lung, while Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is active following a pregame illness designation.
  • Dolphins RB De’Von Achane entered listed as questionable with a rib injury, with multiple outlets expecting him to play.
  • A loss would knock Miami out of playoff contention; Pittsburgh stays atop the AFC North regardless and could widen its lead before a Week 18 rematch with Baltimore.
  • The forecast calls for sub-freezing temperatures, a noted hurdle for Tua Tagovailoa (0-7 in games at 46°F or below), with sportsbooks listing Pittsburgh around -3 and the total near 42–42.5 as Miami rides a four-game win streak.
