Perkins: Pass rush is Dolphins' best defensive hope against Pittsburgh | Commentary

The Dolphins’ pass rush will have a chance to be a game-changing unit in Sunday’s AFC wildcard game at Pittsburgh, and if they take advantage the Dolphins, 10-point underdogs, could pull the upset.

The pass rush, led by defensive ends Cam Wake (11.5 sacks) and Andre Branch (5.5 sacks) and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (5.0 sacks), is the best aspect of a shaky defense. The pass rush has big-play ability and big-time players. The pass rush can make life miserable for Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and, by association, wide receiver Antonio Brown.
