The Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins have one half of their “Monday Night Football” matchup in the books. Aaron Rodgers and Co. head into the locker room with a 7-3 lead thanks to a goal-line rushing touchdown by Connor Heyward with 17 seconds to go in the half.
As the score indicates, it was a first half spearheaded by stout defensive play. After the two clubs exchanged punts on their opening possessions, Miami looked like it was going to get the scoring going midway through the first quarter, but Tua Tagovailoa threw his league-leading 15th interception of the season. The Dolphins would eventually get on the scoreboard first thanks to a 54-yard field goal by Riley Patterson in the second quarter.
Just as Miami got rolling, however, the Steelers offense got into a rhythm with that 12-play, 60-yard touchdown drive that culminated with Heyward’s rushing score.
The Dolphins will need to rally as this is a do-or-die matchup. With a loss, they’ll be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. While things are not as dire for Pittsburgh, a win would be welcomed as it looks to keep the Ravens at arm’s length in the AFC North race.
So, will Miami come back and keep that postseason dream alive, or will the Steelers hang on to move to 8-6 on the year? As we find out, check out our live blog of Monday’s matchup. Below, you can find expert analysis and real-time highlights of all the top plays.
