Meanwhile, the Dolphins lose their first game in five contests, fall to 6-8 and are out of the AFC playoff race.

It was a defensive battle in frozen Pittsburgh for most of the first half until the Steelers finally got on the board with a touchdown. The 12-play drive ended with Connor Heyward diving into the end zone on a quarterback sneak to end the game 7-3.
Little did the dolphins know Aaron Rodgers and the company were about to begin their scoring streak early in the second half.
The third quarter began with the Steelers going 71 yards in just six plays when Rodgers spotted Marquez Valdes-Scantling streaking down the left side of the field for a 19-yard touchdown catch.
Then, after the Steelers forced a three-and-out, they came back on the field and it was the star receiver. DK Metcalf showing his strength by pushing back Minkah Fitzpatrick and avoiding the other Dolphins to scramble for a 28-yard touchdown to blow the doors off the score at 21-3.
Finally, for the fourth straight touchdown, Jonnu Smith made a rare rushing attempt on the tight end, and he made the most of it with a 14-yard touchdown.

Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense, notorious for its inability to perform in the cold, were able to find the paint with tight end Darren Waller winning the jumper to make it 28-9 after a failed two-point conversion. But their efforts were too little, too late.
Waller was able to score again with 2:32 left in the fourth quarter to add personal solidity, but after recovering an offside kick, the Steelers ran out the clock.
On the sidelines, Rodgers was 23-of-27 for 224 yards and two touchdowns. Metcalf was the team's leading receiver with 55 yards, although Rodgers was able to complete passes to eight different Steelers receivers.
