Who has the edge? Dolphins at Steelers, with late-season meaning on Monday night
"When the Dolphins run: Miami's speedy 1,000-yard rusher, De'Von Achane, sustained a rib injury last Sunday, but he has a positive outlook toward playing after an X-ray and MRI came back clean. Even after he and his 92 rushing yards exited in the win against the New York Jets, second-year tailback Jaylen Wright had a career afternoon with his first 100-yard rushing game and first NFL touchdown."
"It's a testament to the way the Dolphins are blocking up front. Not only is it the offensive line, but Daniel Brunskill in jumbo sets as an extra lineman and tight ends Julian Hill and Greg Dulcich, along with fullback Alec Ingold after he's been inconsistent much of the season. All the blocking, plus coach Mike McDaniel's scheming up the run game, has Miami at No. 8 in rushing offense."
"The ground attack goes against a Steelers defensive front that ranks No. 21 against the run. Pittsburgh gave up 249 rushing yards against the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago and 217 against Baltimore Ravens last week. The Steelers certainly have the names to turn it around in a blink, between veteran defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and linebacker Patrick Queen, but a big factor could be if they have rookie defensive lineman Derrick Harmon available Monday. Edge: Dolphins"
De'Von Achane sustained a rib injury but has a positive outlook to play after clean X-ray and MRI results. Jaylen Wright recorded his first 100-yard rushing game and first NFL touchdown after Achane exited; Ollie Gordon II also scored as Miami totaled 239 rushing yards. Miami's offensive line, plus Daniel Brunskill in jumbo sets, tight ends Julian Hill and Greg Dulcich, and fullback Alec Ingold, support Mike McDaniel's run scheming that ranks the team No. 8 in rushing offense. The Dolphins' ground attack faces a Steelers front ranked No. 21 against the run; Pittsburgh surrendered 249 and 217 rushing yards in recent games. Veteran defenders Cameron Heyward and Patrick Queen could help, and rookie Derrick Harmon’s availability may be significant. Pittsburgh's rushing offense ranks No. 29, operating behind center Zach Frazier and guard Isaac Seumalo.
