Troy Aikman scratched his head at what he considered a perplexing finish to Monday night's game between the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins were eliminated from playoff contention following a 28-15 loss at Acrisure Stadium.

Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel shouldered blame as his team's playoff goal ended with a loss to the Steelers.

After the Miami Dolphins' playoff hopes officially ended with Monday's 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Mike McDaniel didn't sound like he is ready to bench Tua Tagovailoa going forward despite his struggles.

With a lot of points to score and not much time to do it, the Dolphins were in no rush late in the game. Much to Troy Aikman's chagrin, the lackadaisical Miami offense continued to huddle and run the play clock down on its final drives.

The Miami Dolphins got down 28-3 in Pittsburgh before a few methodical fourth-quarter drives made the contest look more respectable on the stat sheet.

The Miami Dolphins are waking up this morning finding themselves in a familiar position. Just like in 2024, the Dolphins are 6-8 as they leave Week 15 of the season with three games left to play. The big difference this time around?

The Dolphins have turned their season around with a four-game winning streak after a brutal start and De'Von Achane credits his coach.

The Miami Dolphins faced the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, attempting to even their record at 7-7. It did not happen.
