The last time these teams met, the Dolphins came away with the upset and was the game where the Dolphins season started to turn around. It was also Jay Ajayi's first 200 yard game. So you can bet the Steelers are really eager to face the Dolphins again. I think a lot of people/analyst are overlooking this matchup. This could end up being a great game. No matter the outcome, I am so glad the Dolphins finally made the playoffs.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day's round-up below.
