Steelers-Dolphins NFL Week 8: What You Need To Know

PITTSBURGH, PA - The Miami Dolphins are the NFL's worst team at the moment, which should make Steelers' fans extremely nervous. Under Mike Tomlin, the team has a baffling and disturbing habit of either losing to inferior teams or barely winning.

Recall that 24-21 egg the Steelers laid in Oakland last year, a loss to a terrible team that kept them out of the playoffs? 'Nuff said.

The Dolphins are 0-6 but have played competitively since Ryan Tannehill's return to quarterback. The 2-4 Steelers are coming off of their bye week and will have Mason Rudloph back after his concussion three weeks ago suffered in the Baltimore Ravens game.

The Dolphins have every reason to mail it in Monday, while the Steelers desperately need a win to climb back into the AFC North race and keep their feeble playoff hopes alive. This game should be a blowout, but likely will go down to the wire.
