The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently tied for the best record in the NFL after beating the Miami Dolphins and adding their fifth win of the season. However, this game came down to the wire, relying on a Field Goal in the final three minutes to win the game. The Steelers continue to battle it out with the Baltimore Ravens for leadership in the AFC North, leading with one less loss due to their BYE week.

Ben Roethlisberger had another big game, passing for 302 yards and throwing two Touchdowns and no Interceptions. Big Ben had a play where he fumbled the ball at the Goal Line, but due to inconclusive evidence about who recovered the ball, Pittsburgh maintained possession. The change in offense since his return is vastly obvious. Hines Ward and Mike Wallace were the recipients of those Touchdown passes. The Steelers remaining nine points came from Jeff Reed Field Goals.

Despite allowing 22 points, the Pittsburgh defense was pretty solid, only allowing a single Touchdown. The majority of Miami’s points came from Field Goals.

The Steelers will try to continue this great start to the season when they take on defending Super Bowl Champs, the New Orleans Saints, this Sunday at 8:20 P.M. ET.

The Pittsburgh Steelers did what they needed to on Sunday, defeating the Miami Dolphins.  Unfortunately, the Texans, Jets, and Ravens all won, destroying the Steelers playoff hopes.  However, it is still impressive that Pittsburgh managed to go 9-7, despite suffering some tough injuries in the season; the most talked about being the loss of Troy Polamalu for the majority of the season. 

The Steelers came out tough on Sunday, planning on doing whatever they could to make the playoffs.  Despite a small, Miami comeback in the fourth quarter, Pittsburgh still managed to finish them off.  Ben Roethlisberger threw for 220 yards, grabbing 3 Touchdowns.
