At the beginning of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were viewed as serious contenders.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was brought in as the final piece of the puzzle, so it was hoped. Instead, the mediocrity of head coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers has continued unabated.
Sure, Pittsburgh is in a fight with the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North lead. But the Steelers' metrics indicate a team below average.
On Monday night, the Steelers host the Miami Dolphins, a resurgent team that is fighting for its playoff life.
Miami already fired its general manager, and head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to face the firing squad at season's end.
Of course, Monday night games generate tremendous wagering traffic. The Dolphins and Steelers are legacy brands that will add to the appeal.
