Steelers-Dolphins NFL Week 7: What You Need To Know

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Steelers improbably knocked off one Florida team last week. Can they duplicate that feat on Sunday?

Following the team's huge 20-18 upset of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to boost their record to 2-4, the Steelers travel to Miami this weekend for a Sunday night game against the Dolphins (3-3). Just like last week, they go into the game as significant underdogs.

There's a reason for that. Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will return to lineup after missing three games because of a concussion. That could be bad news, as Tagovailoa has two excellent receivers to throw to - Tyreek Hill and Jason Waddle.

As for the Steelers, quarterback Kenny Pickett is trying to shrug off the effects of a concussion he suffered against the Buccaneers. The Steelers again will be without all-world linebacker T. J. Watt, who has been injured since Week 1 and isn't expected back until the Steelers return from their bye week in three weeks. The Steelers secondary remains injury plagued.

On paper, this game is a mismatch. But so was last week's contest, and look who came out on top. Let's see what happens.
