Pittsburgh vs. Miami: 30-24

Okay, the Steelers win their last three games of the season. A nice way to end a season after five straight losses.

But this one wasn't easy. It looked easy initially. The Steelers took out two quarterbacks and Miami was down to their third string quarterback, Tyler Thigpen. The Steelers had a 24-10. Maybe Tyler should have been the second string quarterback, because the second string quarterback, Pat White was ineffective. Thigpen came in and Miami scored two touchdowns; however, he also ended up throwing two interceptions that prevented Miami from winning the game. I have to admit to fearing that Miami was going to make a dramatic fourth quarter comeback after being dominated by the Steelers. It looked like the Steelers defense was once again going to fold, but they held.

It looks like Pittsburgh may need to spend some top draft picks on the defense side of the ball.

One concern for the immediate future is Ben Roethlisberger. He took a bad hit to his right arm. He came in to play the next series, but he looked in pain.
