"The Dolphins' playoff hopes are over after Monday's 28-15 loss at Pittsburgh ended their winning streak at four games and dropped their season record to 6-8. The Steelers entered Monday's game riding an amazing 22-game Monday night winning streak - they hadn't lost a Monday night home game since 1991. There was another cool thing on the line Monday. The Dolphins, who started the season 2-7, were trying to become the fifth team in NFL history to reach .500 after starting 2-7, joining the 2021 Dolphins, among others."
"When I talk about the Dolphins in "cold weather" the line of delineation is 45 degrees. It was 17 degrees at kickoff Monday but cold weather didn't cause this loss. For what it's worth, in the coach Mike McDaniel era, the Dolphins are now 1-6 in "cold weather" games. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is now 1-4 in "cold weather" games under McDaniel because he didn't play in the Buffalo playoff game or last season's finale at the New York Jets."
The Dolphins lost 28-15 at Pittsburgh, ending a four-game winning streak and dropping to 6-8, which eliminated postseason hopes. The Steelers extended a long Monday-night home dominance, having not lost a Monday night home game since 1991. The Dolphins, who began the season 2-7, were attempting a rare turnaround to reach .500 after that start. The matchup carried added stakes after a blockbuster offseason trade between the teams. It was 17 degrees at kickoff; under coach Mike McDaniel the Dolphins are 1-6 in cold-weather games and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is 1-4 in such conditions. McDaniel's road record is 12-21, 12-22 including playoffs.
