Pittsburgh @ Miami

Network: NBC
Announcers: Marv Albert, Bob Trumpy
Format: DVD (3 disks)
Quality: 8.25
Notes: Halftime edited out... Includes commercials... Starts right at the opening kickoff... INCOMPLETE: Disk 3 cuts off the game with :09 left, missing 1 or 2 plays. Guess is the master tape included the finish of the game and the 3rd disk ran out of space and unfortunately the finish is missing on the DVD as a result... So this is an upgrade candidate. I would like to find a version that includes the finish.

Game Notes

Steelers dump the Dolphins 34-14 in the rain.

Miami jumps out to a 14-0 lead and then fall apart as 1st quarter rain continues and gets harder. The Dolphins turn it over 5 times, see Dan Marino depart with an injury and instead of capitalizing in familiar weather conditions gets swamped by Pittsburgh.

The Steelers turn the 1st fumble into a 1-yard TD run by Merril Hoge, and then Dwayne Woodruff takes a lateral following another fumble 21 yards for a tying TD. After Gary Anderson's 27-yard FG gives Pittsburgh the lead, Hoge adds 2 more TDs in the 3rd quarter as the Steelers roll over the bumbling Dolphins. Tim Worley rushes for 95 yards to carry the Steelers offense.
