Dolphins Prepare for Cold-Weather Challenge Against Steelers

The Miami Dolphins are preparing to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a crucial Monday Night Football game, aiming to end a 12-game losing streak in cold weather. With temperatures expected to dip to around 18 degrees at kickoff and wind gusts of 16 miles per hour, head coach Mike McDaniel implemented a unique strategy by holding a full practice in snowy conditions at Robert Morris Joe Walton Stadium in Pittsburgh.

This decision was made to acclimate the team to the harsh weather, as the Dolphins have historically struggled in temperatures below 40 degrees, a fact underscored by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who remains winless in sub-40-degree games during his career.

Despite the challenging conditions, both De'Von Achane and Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers have been confirmed to play without limitations, adding another layer of intrigue to this pivotal matchup for playoff implications.

Betting predictions suggest the Steelers have a 60% chance of winning, but the Dolphins are favored to cover the spread at +3.5, showing a glimmer of hope for Miami fans ahead of the game.
