Week 7: Steelers @ Dolphins
The Dolphins are usually sneaky good with catching teams off guard in home games early in September to begin the season. This might have something to do with traveling teams playing in the scorching heat in Miami. However, by Week 7, this isn’t a condition Steelers players will need to freat over.
The Dolphins have made some splashy moves this past offseason in an effort to improve their roster. They started by hiring an innovative, offensive-minded head coach, Mike McDaniel — the offensive coordinator and understudy to Sean McVay in Los Angeles.
After doing so, Miami made a blockbuster trade for dynamic Al-Pro receiver, Tyreek Hill. Between him and a very promising Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins perhaps have the fastest pair of wide receivers we have ever seen on one team.
While this could be difficult for Pittsburgh’s cornerbacks to handle at times, I’m not buying the Tua Tagovailoa hype just yet. The Dolphins had some major offensive line issues last season, and I think T.J. Watt and company could exploit them in this department in Week 7.
