This game may lack playoff tension, but it does not lack for compelling individual battles. Terry McLaurin has been the lone consistent spark in a gloomy month for the Commanders, accounting for a significant portion of their offensive highlights. His recent strike rate—scoring in 60% of his last five games—combined with his high yards-per-catch average, paints the picture of a receiver who is arguably playing his best football of the season right now. Against a Dallas defence that has been generous through the air, and with a backup quarterback likely locking onto him as the primary read, backing McLaurin to cross the whitewash offers a reasoned, evidence-based route into this Christmas fixture.
- Miami ran for 239 yards against the Jets.
- Miami led 21-7 after the first 15 minutes at the Meadowlands.
- The Ravens went 2-for-6 in the red zone against Pittsburgh last week.

Miami’s success at the Meadowlands was a game that swung early. Tyrod Taylor’s exit in the first quarter forced the Jets into 24-year-old Brady Cook, who had no prior NFL playing experience, and the Dolphins didn’t waste a second taking control. They ran for 239 yards, dominated time of possession, and turned the opening quarter into a statement by jumping out to a 21-7 lead in the first 15 minutes. It was another survival-and-progress night for Mike McDaniel, Tua Tagovailoa and company: 6-7 now, still in the AFC playoff race, and riding a fourth straight win. The run is real, even if the last three victories are framed as coming against WAS, NO and NYJ.
Week 14 Ground Game Snapshots
Miami controlled the Jets at the Meadowlands with a dominant run game, while Pittsburgh’s win over the Ravens came despite a quiet rushing output on offence.
They jumped to a 21–7 lead in the first 15 minutes and then controlled possession.
Aaron Rodgers had a very clean game as Pittsburgh held off Baltimore in a tight road win.
Ravens Game Flow: Pressure Moments
Baltimore moved the ball for long stretches, but Pittsburgh limited the damage in the red zone and absorbed a late yardage surge in the fourth quarter.
The stops inside the 20 helped Pittsburgh hold the lead in a game where field position mattered.
Half of Baltimore’s yardage arrived in the final quarter while they were chasing the game.
Cold Factor Markers
The temperature story is front and centre: Tua Tagovailoa’s long-running cold-weather marker sits alongside a forecast that points to a sharp winter night in Pittsburgh.
Last week’s cold win in Jersey mattered, but this is framed as a tougher version of that test.
A cold night can tighten margins, influence play-calling, and turn every possession into a grind.
Pittsburgh’s latest win carried a different kind of weight. They held off the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore in what’s described as arguably their most complete game of the season, and it’s the sort of result that lingers in a dressing room all week. Baltimore gained 420 yards, but half of that production — 210 yards — arrived in the fourth quarter when they were chasing the game.
Aaron Rodgers is credited with a very clean game, and even with the Steelers’ offence producing just 34 total rushing yards, the defence delivered when it mattered most, including forcing the Ravens into a 2-for-6 night in the red zone. Add in a forecast around 20°F at kickoff, and you’ve got the ingredients for a match that rewards resilience, discipline, and the ability to keep your head when the game gets uncomfortable.

We keep it simple: one primary pick per event. Not because there’s only one way a game can go, but because a single, accountable view forces you to be honest about what you’re backing and why — especially on a night where conditions and match-up quirks can swing the balance.

Pittsburgh Steelers to win
This is one of those fixtures where the temperature isn’t small talk — it’s central to the plot. Pittsburgh is forecast to be around 20°F at kickoff on Monday night, and the cold is already tied directly to Tagovailoa’s story. The numbers here are stark: before last week, he was 0-7 in NFL games where the temperature hit 46 degrees or less. Miami did get a cold-weather win at the Meadowlands, and it clearly mattered to him, but the preview itself sets up Monday as “an entirely different scenario” to what he faced in Jersey. That’s not narrative fluff; it’s a reminder that cold doesn’t just feel unpleasant — it can change ball handling, timing, and how comfortable a passing game looks when the air stings and the ground hardens.
Miami’s recent win also came in a particular context. Once Taylor went out and Cook — with no NFL experience — was thrown in, Miami were able to dictate the game. They ran for 239 yards, controlled possession, and effectively used that early 21-7 burst to put New York in survival mode. That’s creditworthy execution, but it’s not the same as marching into Pittsburgh and imposing the same shape against a team that’s expecting a trench fight and is comfortable living in one.
Pittsburgh’s case rests on exactly that kind of comfort. Even in a game where the Ravens piled up 420 yards, the Steelers defended the moments that decide outcomes. The fact that 210 of those yards came in the fourth quarter while Baltimore were playing catch-up matters because it points to game state: Pittsburgh had built enough control earlier to force the Ravens into urgency. And when the field shortened, the defence stood up — 2-for-6 in the red zone is the sort of hinge detail that often separates “outplayed” from “beaten”. The listed metrics also point to a defensive match-up edge: Miami’s defence is described as ranking 24th by EPA per pass, which speaks to a vulnerability that can surface when a game stays tight and a few throws become disproportionately important.
Then there’s the way this is framed through Pittsburgh’s defensive identity. It’s described as the type of game where TJ Watt and the Steelers’ defence can thrive, and that reads as a stylistic fit: cold, physical, and likely to demand patience rather than fireworks. Miami arrive with confidence and momentum, but this setting looks designed to test whether their recent control can travel, and whether Tagovailoa can reproduce rhythm when the conditions are openly hostile.
What could go wrong
Miami have already shown a clear route to making this awkward for Pittsburgh: run the ball, dominate time of possession, and turn the night into a shortened, low-margin contest. If they can find early traction on the ground again, they can keep Watt and the Steelers’ defence working for every snap and reduce the game to a handful of key moments. And if Pittsburgh again allow long stretches of yardage — as they did overall against Baltimore — there’s always a path for Miami to hang around deep into the fourth quarter and flip the script with one decisive drive.
