The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to make a push for the AFC North crown, beating the Miami Dolphins 28-15 on Monday Night Football.

Game Summary

According to the PFF noise-canceled score metric, the Steelers were clearly the better team. And it was even more lopsided than that, as almost all of the Dolphins’ offensive production came after they trailed by 25 points in the fourth quarter.

Passing Summary

The Steelers found success with their short passing game. A good third quarter was enough to put the game away.

Receiving Summary

DK Metcalf made a spectacular play and Kenneth Gainwell was a reliable short target — that’s the 2025 Steelers offense in a nutshell.

Darran Waller led the Dolphins in targets and air yards, and he also caught the team’s two touchdown passes. But he had two targets and one reception for eight yards before the fourth quarter with Miami trailing 28-3.

Rushing Summary

The Dolphins’ running game is too good to be fully shut out, but the Steelers had it under control as long as the game was still undecided.
