NFL play-offs: Pittsburgh Steelers beat Miami Dolphins in wildcard game

In 2003, Porter was shot in the buttocks while standing outside the All Sports Bar & Grill in Denver bar after the Colorado-Colorado State football game on September 1, 2003.

The Dolphins would have some brief success, but the first half ended on a big down note.

Coach Mike Tomlin, offensive coordinator Todd Haley, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the offense deserve credit for realizing Bell’s unique vision and patient running could wear down defenses behind an offensive line due $140 million-plus over the length of their contracts.

Porter, a former Pro-Bowl linebacker with the Steelers, Dolphins and Cardinals, was caught on camera arguing with police officers while they put him in handcuffs, according to a video obtained by TMZ. Pittsburgh came in 4-1 and left with Roethlisberger’s left knee in need of surgery and the defense in need of serious fix after Miami’s Jay Ajayi piled up 204 yards on the ground.

In his first career playoff game, Moore took some hard hits and had some solid production mixed with poor play. It’s what got Ryan Fitzpatrick his job in NY with the Jets this year but the Jets-like any team who could be looking at Moore this year-have to keep in mind that an older quarterback has a history and by the time he’s been in the National Football League for around a decade, he is who he is. Miami WR Jarvis Landry one of two players with 80 receptions in each of first three seasons (Odell Beckham Jr.). Miami was able to get to Ben Roethlisberger twice during the Week 6 game, and they will need the same thing to happen – if not more – this game. Both home losses came in wild-card round (Jacksonville 2007, Baltimore 2014). As The MMQB’s Peter King points out, that’s 142 yards more than the best seven-game stretch of Emmitt Smith, the all-time rushing leader. Roethlisberger is 11-6 in playoff starts.

Bell used that increase to break the Steelers’ single-game regular-season and postseason rushing records, with his season average up to 158.3 total yards per game, including playoffs. Miami was without key starters that they actually had missed most of the year. Bell, meanwhile, racked up a massive 167 yards off his 29 carries. The Steelers will have the toughest route to the playoffs. Pittsburgh CB Artie Burns’ 3 interceptions tied for first among rookies.

On third down, Bell ran to the left behind the blocking of David DeCastro and David Johnson, cut it up and scored on an 8-yard run.
