The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a position to shock the world for the second consecutive week when they take on the Miami Dolphins on primetime.

This week, they're underdogs for over a touchdown as they'll face an offense itching to get back to what they were doing before Tagovailoa's head injury in Week 3.

The casual fan might dismiss any possibility of this being a close one when remembering Tyreek Hill is on the Dolphins and that their offense is called by guru Mike McDaniel.

But a specific mismatch should keep this a close one on Sunday Night. Let's dive in.

Only one team should be able to get to the quarterback

Perhaps the biggest reason why Mitch Trubisky was benched by the Steelers was his inability to stand in the pocket and/or extend plays. Most of the pressures allowed by Pittsburgh during his time as the starter were on him and not the offensive line.

Despite bleak offseason expectations, the Steelers have a top-10 unit at the position. In fact, they rank as the eighth-best group in pressure rate allowed, per a recent article in The Athletic.

That doesn't bode well for the Dolphins, whose defense ranks 30th in the NFL in pressure rate despite blitzing at the 9th highest rate.

On the other hand, Pittsburgh hasn't been able to generate a lot of pressure either. Actually, they rank only one spot above Miami.

But the key difference is that Mike Tomlin's defense doesn't blitz nearly as much. On top of that, it's a favorable match-up as the Dolphins allow pressures at the third-highest rate in the NFL.

In a game in which all people talk about is how Kenny Pickett's offense won't be as explosive as Tagovailoa's, the Steelers' strengths could keep Hill and Jaylen Waddle in check.

If they keep Tua under pressure consistently, a secondary that could see Minkah Fitzpatrick and its multiple starting cornerbacks back could be in for a multi-takeaway night.

Public perception points toward a blowout win by the Dolphins. But actual football match-ups suggest a close affair on Sunday night.
