Overview
- Miami has topped 160 rushing yards in four straight games after pivoting to a run-first approach under Mike McDaniel.
- De’Von Achane is third in the league with 1,126 rushing yards, and Jaylen Wright posted a career-best 107 yards after Achane left the Jets game with a rib injury.
- The defense has not allowed more than 17 points during the four-game streak, enabling game control from early leads.
- Special teams remain a vulnerability, highlighted by a 78-yard punt return touchdown and a successful fake punt by the Jets, plus earlier miscues.
- A victory at 7-6 Pittsburgh on Monday would bolster Miami’s playoff push after climbing back from a 1-5 start.
