The 6-7 Dolphins and 7-6 Steelers meet tonight in Pittsburgh to conclude Week 15 of the regular season. The Dolphins have reeled off four straight wins to keep their faint Wild Card hopes alive. The Steelers are just one game ahead of the Dolphins heading into tonight’s game, but are in a much better position to make the playoffs. They currently find themselves in first place in the lackluster AFC North, half a game ahead of the Baltimore Ravens.
The weather is expected to play a major role tonight, as it will be 22 degrees and windy at kickoff, bringing the wind chill to 12 degrees. The Dolphins are 1-3 when the temperature is 23 degrees or colder at kickoff over the last 25 years.
Dolphins and Steelers kick off tonight at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ESPN. You can return to ESPN2 during the game to watch ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli, the popular alternative show where former NFL greats analyze the game and chat with different guests each week.
