Ryan Fitzpatrick was 21 of 34 passing for 190
yards, the two interceptions, and touchdowns to Albert Wilson
and Allen Hurns for Miami (0-7).
On Pittsburgh's first possession, Xavien Howard picked off a
Rudolph pass, setting up the Dolphins at the Steelers 26. That
drive ended with Ryan Fitzpatrick's 5-yard out pass to Wilson
and a 7-0 lead.
The Steelers' next possession started off well enough, with
Conner's 25-yard run to the Miami 45 -- the team's longest run
of the season. But Pittsburgh eventually turned the ball over on
downs at the Dolphins' 37.
Miami converted that into a 14-0 lead when Ryan Fitzpatrick hit
Hurns for a 12-yard touchdown with 1:34 left in the first
quarter, with Hurns breaking four tackles on his way to the end
zone.
In the second quarter, Chris Boswell cut into the lead with a
42-yard field goal to make it 14-3.
Minkah Fitzpatrick -- who was acquired by Pittsburgh in a
September trade with Miami -- intercepted Ryan Fitzpatrick at
midfield with 1:13 left in the first half. On third and 20,
Rudolph and Johnson hooked up on a 45-yard touchdown play to
make it 14-10 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Boswell missed what would have been a
career-long 54-yard field goal after being 12 for 12 this year.
Minkah Fitzpatrick struck for his second interception, at the
Steelers' 3, setting up a 12-play scoring drive. Smith-Schuster
went up over Miami's Chris Lammons in tight coverage to make a
26-yard touchdown catch for a 17-14 Pittsburgh lead.
In the fourth quarter, Conner's 9-yard scoring run up the middle
extended the lead to 24-14, and Boswell's 41-yarder made it
27-14.
