The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Miami Dolphins will fight it out at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on Sunday as the two teams clash in Week 6 of the NFL regular season today. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Steelers moved to 4-1 with a comprehensive victory over the New York Jets last weekend. Although the Jets gave as good as they got in the first half, the second was all Pittsburgh as the Steelers piled on 17 unanswered points to win the game 31-13.
The Steelers defense was the foundation of their second half dominance, and they will be hoping that they can shut down the Dolphins offense as efficiently as they ran over the Jets' offense last week.
The Dolphins meanwhile are in big trouble having dropped to 1-4 last week with a poor 17-30 loss at home to the very average Tennessee Titans.
That result will have set alarm bells ringing, and surely another defeat today would be a nail in the coffin for the Miami season. That is more than likely as the Steelers are certainly a more challenging prospect to face than the Titans, and most would be expecting this game to be an easy Pittsburgh win today.
Earlier this week, Week 6 got started with a big game between the Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football.
The Broncos came into the game as heavy favorites, with most expecting them to bounce back from their first defeat of the season a week before. However, it became apparent that Denver's first loss was not simply a minor blip, and they now appear to be heading into a slump in form as they were defeated 21-13 by the Chargers.
San Diego were in charge throughout, and heading into the final quarter, the Chargers were 19-3 ahead. The Broncos finally showed some life in offense in the fourth quarter, but 10 points was nowhere near enough to get them back into the game.
That result dropped the Broncos back to 4-2, and simultaneously lifted the Chargers up to 2-4 and gives them a tiny glimmer of hope that this season still holds something for them.
The victory will be sweet relief for San Diego fans, who have witnessed their team constantly choke to give away fourth quarter leads again and again this season to drop to 1-4.
Although there were signs of what had gone on in previous games here, the result was never seriously in doubt. Chargers' fans will still have been holding their breath though when the Broncos shortened the lead to 8 points with 32 seconds left, but a last gasp drive from the Broncos ended with a failed Hail Mary and finally the San Diego faithful were able to breathe again.
The Broncos now have time to rest with an extra long week before returning in Week 7 on Monday Night Football to face the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Chargers won't play again until two Sundays from now when they will take on the Atlanta Falcons.
