Miami Dolphins Holding Slim Playoff Hopes
By Brian Miller
New Orleans Vs. Pittsburgh
New Orleans is not doing anyone in the AFC East any favors and it’s likely they won’t do Miami a favor this week by knocking off the Steelers. The Saints are not playing good football and on defense have been horrible. It’s more than likely going to end up a Steeler win on Sunday. That being said there is no reason to phone it in on the part of wishful thinking. At 7-4 the Steelers are one game ahead of the Dolphins and a loss would obviously move the Dolphins up a few more rungs on the ladder to the post-season.
Pittsburgh is not looking at a simple Wild Card birth. They are a half-game back of the Bengals for rights to the AFC North and are fending off the Ravens and Browns in the process. Like Miami their margin of error is small.
