What was the outcome of the Steelers vs. Dolphins game?

0:00

Dominant performance on Monday Night Football last night for the Steelers as they take down the Miami Dolphins 28-15 and a lot of that garbage time points 12 of them in the fourth quarter for the Dolphins as Aaron Rodgers a solid day 224 yards. two touchdowns at a rating of 126. Kenneth Gainwell, 80 yards rushing on the ground, an average six yards per carry. DK Metcalf, three catches for 55 yards and a touchdown, including a big stiff arm of Minka Fitzpatrick on his way to the end zone. So the Steelers, now eight and six of one, two in a row, will play against the Detroit Lions, 425 this upcoming Sunday. Mike Tomlin will address the media today at noon.

Here is a shot for Waddle, underthrown and picked off by Asante Samuel. Tried to go to the air here. Rodgers end zone, got his man. Touchdown Marquez Valdez Scantling. Here is a toss in the backfield, Jonu Smith. And a rushing touchdown. On third down. Got it to DK Metcalf. And fighting his way for the touchdown. You know, they won four straight games. They had a lot to play for.

What are the key player performances from the Steelers game?

1:33

Hopefully, the belief is starting to pick up because it's tough to play in the cold weather. And if we can take care of business, then we're going to be hosting the game right here. I didn't insult Bob. Where is Bob? Well, he's over there. He's a mannequin. He's at the Tomlin News Conference today. So it's limits and I, and we're off to a very friction-filled start, but I think we can bounce back limits. You have your Steeler jacket on. I'm already over it. Hi, Joe. Good morning. Sometimes there's a little friction because we're both anxious before the show, right? We want to put on a good performance like the Steelers did last night, and there's a little bit of pressure because if we don't put on good performances and the ratings go down, you and I get fired, correct?

2:14

Correct. Yes, that is correct. Luckily, that hasn't happened. In fact, the opposite has happened thanks to the people out there listening. So I think both of us are in a pretty good place.

How does Mike Tomlin's strategy impact the Steelers' performance?

2:23

Where are the Steelers? In a good place? You just heard Aaron Rodgers saying hopefully the belief is starting to pick up. Is it with you out there at 412-928-9370? Is the belief starting to pick up that this team could win a playoff game, perhaps make a playoff run? That's what we have come here today to discuss. And this is how I'll address all this at the beginning of the show. And by the way, Limits, I had a double-digit Steeler win because the Dolphins stink, mostly. Yes, you did. You had a 10.1. That they would smash the run against a one-dimensional team. That Tua is absolutely tragic. Oh, my God, does he stink. Do you know how much they're paying him? Like $51 million, I think it is. Wrong. $53 million.

3:17

$53 million for that? He's horrifying. Yeah, he's like a convertible. You can't drive him when it's really cold outside. He stinks. So here's what I would say. And I have two minds after this game. And if you don't like that, too bad. Because sometimes a couple of different things can be true. So let's start with this. And it's ironic because the people who want to accuse you and I, fans and some media of being overreactive are actually the overreactive ones. I'm talking about the Kabbalis of the world who, of course, when the Steelers win, say, oh, nobody's talking about firing Tomlin now. Nobody's talking about or booing Renegade now. except until the next loss, and then they'll all be doing that again, constantly accusing us of being overreactive.

4:18

When that whole line of thinking is built on a fallacy, the fallacy being that the fire Tomlin chants and the booing of Renegade and the overall fan disgust around here was built on the loss to the Bills or a couple of bad games this season. No, that was built on eight years running of never coming close to winning a playoff game. That was built on living in a world of high-end mediocrity, but mediocrity nonetheless. The fan disgust was real and justified, even though I wouldn't have been one of the ones chanting fire Tomlin.
