The Pittsburgh Steelers moved to 8-6 on the season and continue to hold firm atop the AFC North with a 28-15 victory over the Miami Dolphins (6-8) on Monday night. While the win moves Pittsburgh one step closer to the playoffs, the loss officially eliminates Miami from postseason contention.

Miami has won four in a row since losing to Baltimore back in Week 9, and is now on the fringes of the playoff race in a season that started off in disastrous fashion. The Dolphins have been running the ball like crazy during their winning streak, while also turning over the opposing team multiple times in each of those games.

Adding injury to insult, Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick hurt his calf in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 28-15, on Monday at Acrisure Stadium. The defeat eliminated the Dolphins from contention for the playoffs.

The Miami Dolphins have a chance to even their record at 7-7 with a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Denver Broncos are ranked number one in the NFL Power Rankings after Week 15 with a 12-2 record. The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks follow the Broncos in the power rankings.

Troy Aikman said he was "flabbergasted" by the Dolphins' comeback attempt against the Steelers on "Monday Night Football" in Week 15.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel suggested a major shift may be coming after Tua Tagovailoa struggled and the Dolphins fell out of playoff contention.
