The Pittsburgh Steelers need the Miami Dolphins to lose in Week 18 to have a chance at the playoffs. The Dolphins received a good health update on a quarterback.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, despite starting the season 2-6, have a chance at making the playoffs in Week 18, something that seemed not possible. All they have to do is defeat the Cleveland Browns in Week 18, and lose both the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots.
Miami is currently dealing with some quarterback issues, as Tua Tagovailoa is sidelined with a concussion, while protégé Teddy Bridgewater is dealing with an injury to his pinky finger. However, that left the Dolphins with third stringer Skyler Thompson as the assumed starter in their Week 18 game against the New York Jets.
Well, according to NFL Network national insider Ian Rapoport, Bridgewater’s toe was dislocated, not broken like he originally thought. Therefore, there is a chance that the veteran will play on Sunday as long as the swelling goes down and he can take control of the football.
The Dolphins receive a positive update on QB Teddy Bridgewater
The Dolphins have moved on this week if Bridgewater can’t play, that was it Signed by Mike Glennonwho started four games for the New York Giants last season.
Whoever the Dolphins’ starting quarterback was, they were up against a solid Jets defense that allowed an average of 192.5 yards per game, second best in the entire league, per ESPN.
The Steelers have been a hit, winning five of their last six games. In fact, he saw Pittsburgh’s rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett lead the team to a game-winning run in the dying seconds in their previous two games against the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens. They enter Week 18 with an 8-8 record with a shot at the playoffs, and a chance for head coach Mike Tomlin to post a winning record for the 16th straight season.
Once again, all the Steelers need to clinch their last AFC wild card spot is a win over the Browns, a Dolphins loss to the Jets, and a Patriots loss to the Buffalo Bills.
