NFL Power Rankings, Week 9: 49ers embarrass Panthers, Eagles shock Bills

20. Pittsburgh Steelers (19) – Play Monday Night vs. Dolphins
After enjoying a week off as a result of the bye, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking to win their second game in a row Monday night with the winless Miami Dolphins coming to town.
This season obviously hasn’t exactly gone the way Pittsburgh thought it would with only two wins to their name, but the good news for Mike Tomlin’s squad is the Steelers still have plenty of time to play catch up in the AFC North race.
At this point, the best approach for the Steelers to take is focus on one game at a time instead of looking too far ahead, or it’s only going to add unnecessary pressure over the final two months of the regular season.
As bad as it sounds, a home matchup against a winless team in front of a national audience seems like the perfect opportunity for Pittsburgh to receive an extra boost of confidence since the Steelers will need all of the extra help possible following Week 8.
Once Monday night is in the book, Pittsburgh will next need to deal with the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams, which will both be far from easy to deal with for the Steelers.
