The Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers turned into a back and forth affair in the 2nd half as they lead changed hands several times but the Phins with "Phins Up" peddle out of the 'Burgh with a 34-28 "W" to keep "Fight for Lamar" Hopes alive.

Both Defenses gave up big play after big play and Big Ben in the Show in the 1st half was on target as the Steelers Offense and the Dolphins Offense moved the Pig in the Wintry Conditions without hesitation. Big Ben threw for 235 yards on 17 of 25 and three TDs. Ryan Tannehill was 15 of 25 for 160 yards as he threw two TDs and an INT for a Pick 6 to Steelers Safety Troy Polamalu.

The Game was decided late as the Phins get a huge run in from RB Daniel Thomas as the Phins scored to bring the score to 31-28 Phins. They tack on another FG as the Steelers then go deep into the Playbook to try and pull this one out.

With under 3 seconds to go the Steelers call "Stanford" get the Hook and Lateral going as after a few Steelers WR Antonio Brown gets it up the left sideline and out runs all the Dolphins only to have his Left Foot hit the boundary for an out of bounds at the five yard line with Zeroes on the Clock. Tell me "Sir Luscious Left Foot" Brown didn't step out...and he did!

Phins move to 7-6 and the Steelers fall out of Playoff Contention and 5-8 as they head to the 2014 NFL Draft with hopefully a Top 10 Pick and even higher than that.
