If you've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to feast your eyes on the glory of the winless Dolphins, the Week 8 "Monday Night Football" game against Pittsburgh is your chance.
The Steelers are hardly a worldbeater this year, but they're still favored by more than 17 points at home. As has been the case in just about every game this year, Miami staying competitive will be surprising.
The Dolphins have shown some improvement from their historically bad start — they lost their first two games by a combined score of 102-10 — but missed a great chance at their first win by dropping a 17-16 game to the Redskins in Week 6.
