Steelers vs Dolphins

The game between the Steelers and Dolphins could be one of the best games of the wild card round. Miami finished off a hard season with great effort and the curious case of Matt Moore heading into the playoffs.

Pittsburgh had a great season as well, winning the AFC North and getting big production from Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le’Veon Bell.

For the Dolphins to win, their game plan has to start with accepting the fact that they won’t stop everything. They’ll be going up against one of, if not the, best receiver in the league and a running attack that is fearless.

But the Steelers have to be careful too.

They’ve gotten the short end of the stick for underestimating opponents in the playoffs before.

Anybody remember Tim Tebow and his overtime Hail Mary that ended Pittsburgh’s season?

Matt Moore will be at quarterback for the Dolphins, as they too face quarterback problems.

Of all quarterbacks playing in an emergency situation, Moore perhaps deserves the most respect. In four games played this season, he’s acquired a passer rating over 100 and thrown eight scores and just three picks.

Having the Steelers defense on his case will be tough, but the Dolphins have no reason to throw in the towel before the game starts.

If it all goes to Pittsburgh’s head, the Steelers could be in real trouble.

Prediction:

59. Final. 13. 55. 19
