The Week 6 NFL matchup that will take place this Sunday in Miami is a contest of two teams headed in different directions.The Dolphins are coming off an embarrassing 30-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Miami is 1-4 and not playing very good football on offense or defense.The Pittsburgh Steelers sit atop the AFC North at 4-1 and fly into South Florida on a two-game winning streak.Both teams have suffered key injuries to starting players.The Dolphins entered their Week 5 game against the Titans missing seven projected starters.The Steelers played the New York Jets in Week 5 down four starters and lost captain and defensive end Cam Heyward in the game because of a hamstring injury.The Dolphins backups have not stepped up while the Steelers players and head coach Mike Tomlin live by the next-man-up credo.Its the next man up, linebacker Jarvis Jones said. Coach Tomlin is really serious about it. Guys take pride when theyre the next man up.When you get that helmet you have to take full advantage of it. The guys did great this week and we got a great win together.Added linebacker Vince Williams, who led the defense in tackles for back-to-back weeks while filling in for injured inside linebacker Ryan Shazier: The standard is the standard. You know we believe in that. Thats real. Thats it. I dont know what else you want me to say. Nobody on this team believes they are a backup. Everybody just believes they are waiting for their opportunity to put their hand in the pile and help this team win football games.While the Steelers have used this motto to continue to win games, the Dolphins, with healthy players or not, continue to struggle in all phases.The offensive line without injured left tackle Brendan Albert (flu) and left guard Laremy Tunsil (ankle) gave up six sacks to the Titans. Starting right tackle JaWuan James allowed a sack against Tennessee, meaning he has allowed at least one sack in each of the last three games.James might have caught a break with the injury to Heyward. The starting left end for the Steelers will not play against the Dolphins. This is the first missed game in Heywards career and snaps his streak of 85 straight games played.Tomlins motto of next man up falls into the lap of backup defensive end Ricardo Mathews and a rotation from nose tackle to end by Daniel McCullers and Javon Hargrave.The Steelers defense runs a 3-4 so the linebackers will be asked to blitz more this week against a struggling Dolphins offensive line.The Dolphins released former starting right guard Billy Turner and 2015 16-game starting guard Dallas Thomas on Monday. Head coach Adam Gase knows his team needs to play better especially along the offensive line.Gase said: Were inept right now. Weve just got to figure something out. We tried to slow it down (Sunday), and huddle, and we only had 41 plays and eat up 23 minutes. Were not getting enough first downs.We had a chance there on the third-and-1, and the ball gets batted down. We think were in the end zone to be down by three and we get a holding call. It just seems that we cant get out of our own way right now.The Steelers dont share that same feeling on offense. The offensive line needs to protect quarterback Ben Roethlisberger better as indicated by the nine sacks they have allowed.But Roethlisberger is third in the NFL with 1,496 yards passing and has thrown for 15 touchdowns with only four interceptions.Where the Steelers will look to make their offensive mark on Sunday is running the football. Running back LeVeon Bell has accounted for 432 offensive yards since returning from his three-game suspension. The former Michigan State Spartan is averaging 105 yards rushing per game.The Dolphins run defense is the worst in the NFL and allows on average 150.8 yards per game. The much maligned defense without starting linebackers Koa Misi and Jelani Jenkins allowed 235 yards rushing to the Titans.Running back DeMarco Murray had 27 carries for 121 yards.We werent finishing our tackles; thatll kill you every time, especially with a running back like that, Gase said of Murray.The Dolphins have allowed two bruising style runners to gain over 120 yards against them this season. New England Patriots and former Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount was the first. Bell fits that mold as well.

Air Max 270 Australia Sale . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. The football teams from Old Dominion and Charlotte will form a circle of unity on the field before the national anthem is played at their Conference USA game Saturday night.The circle of unity is an idea that Monarchs players came up with when they met with coaches to discuss how to respond to recent police shootings in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Charlotte, North Carolina, ODU coach Bobby Wilder said Friday.We were looking and seeing what was going on around the world, but more specifically in Tulsa and Charlotte, and we were trying to decide as a team how could we express ourselves in a way that would bring unity, and that was what the team came up with, Wilder told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.Many Monarchs players wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts during warmups before ODUs home game against Texas-San Antonio last Saturday, and the team joined hands in a circle and raised their arms before the game.Last Saturday was the platform to launch what we see as a reaction to whats going on in our country, to do something to make a difference, and were hoping more people will try to do something to make a difference instead of adding too the noise, Wilder said, referring to protests during the national anthem that started with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling in protest to police shootings in the country.ddddddddddddther NFL and college players have since joined Kaepernick in protesting during the anthem.Were hoping that this is something that, instead of a protest before the national anthem, that teams will consider doing before games to show unity. You look at a football team generally and its a microcosm of society in terms of all the races and religions that are represented, Wilder said. If we can take the lead and try to develop unity and get a better dialog going, that is what we would like to see happen.Wilder said he called Charlotte coach Brad Lambert this week, and Lambert said his team would like to take part in the circle before the game at Jerry Richardson Stadium. The city was the site of several days of rioting and unrest in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott by police on Sept. 21. ' ' '
