Steelers hold off Dolphins, 30-24
The Pittsburgh Steelers used a big third quarter effort to gain a 30-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
The Pittsburgh defense took advantage of an eye injury to Miami starting quarterback Chad Henne to increase their lead.
Backup quarterback Pat White was not prepared for all of the pressure that Dick Lebeau and Co. brought every passing play.
The Steelers eventually knocked White out of the game on a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit, and it almost cost them the game.
Pittsburgh gave up two fourth quarter touchdowns to third-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen, but came up with a big interception late in the game that stopped the Miami momentum.
