Miami put together two solid drives in the 4th quarter to take the win. The Steelers tore apart the Dolphins defense when they met in the regular season, but struggled to do much of anything in this one only gaining 150 total net yards. They did however take the lead into the 4th quarter after getting two touchdowns out of two Miami turnovers. But Miami never panicked and stuck with their game plan eventually wearing down the Pittsburgh defense and getting the needed scores. One thing that hurt the Steelers in the 4th quarter was the loss of their star rookie linebacker Lawrence Taylore. He had to be carried off the field on the second play from scrimmage, and was definitely missed as the Dolphins ran over Pittsburgh late in the game.
