The Dolphins are an enormous 7.5-point favorite in this game, indicating an extreme rushing game script.Chase Edmonds has rushed for 0.33 TDs per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the biggest figures in the NFL among RBs (79th percentile).The Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackles project as the 3rd-worst group of DTs in football this year in regard to defending the run.The Miami Dolphins have faced a stacked the box on a mere 12.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-least in the NFL. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.The Miami Dolphins have gone no-huddle on 13.9% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (7th-most in the league). This speeds up the pace, leading to more volume and stat-padding.
