Miami Dolphins Vs Pittsburgh Steelers Meet Tonight

The Pittburgh Steelers are having a good start for this season as compared to the one that they had last year. Last year, the Steelers were able to fight hard and win but in the end, it was not enough to get the Steelers to be in the play-offs.

For this year, the team is not making the same mistake twice. Ben Roethlisberger could be considered as one of the major factors behing the success of Steelers because of his performance. He was able to lead the team in the NFL scoring defense (12.0 points per game), rush defense (63.8 yards per game) and has forced 15 turnovers. Hines Wards, the receiver for Steelers acknowledged Roethlisberger’s game play saying that “One thing about him — when you look into his eyes, you always know you have a chance to win ballgames and everybody just follows.” On the other hand, James Harrison, the league’s 2008 Defensive Player of the year was fined $75,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Cleveland’s Mohamed Massaquoi. He was disappointed by the fine and threatened to retire but the coach, Mike Tromlin managed to calm him down after some time and persuasion.

If ever Harrison won’t return as part of his protest then the Miami Dolphins would surely be glad as that would be an advantage for them. Currently, the Dolphins have a standing of 3-0 on the road. This was after the Dolphins were able to take advantage of the weak defense that the Green Bay Packers had from their game. Another thing that the Miami Dolphins have to work on is to start forcing more turnovers as observed from their previous games.

According to records, Pittsburgh Steelers has won all four meetings with Miami since 1998 and it would be interesting to see if this game would add up to this fact.
