- The Miami Dolphins pass defense has allowed the 8th-highest Completion% in the NFL (80.6%) to tight ends this year (80.6%).
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects the Steelers to call the least plays on offense on the slate this week with 60.5 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.

- The Miami Dolphins pass defense has excelled when opposing tight ends have gotten into space, yielding an average of 4.03 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 4th-least in football.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers O-line has afforded their quarterback a measly 2.19 seconds before the pass (worst in the NFL since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all passing game statistics across the board.
