Steelers
W 28-15 vs Dolphins · Dec 15, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Steelers fans toasting a Miami beatdown and drunk Aikman in equal measure while still cursing Arthur Smith's playsheet.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Samuel's first-quarter interception of T.Tagovailoa set the tone, and from there Pittsburgh didn't let off — the Co.Heyward direct-snap touchdown and a 28-yard A.Rodgers strike to D.Metcalf turned this into the kind of comfortable night the fanbase rarely gets. Two sacks on Rodgers are a lingering concern, and the playoff math still demands work, but for one week the offense looked decisive instead of apologetic.
