Reality blasted cold off the Three Rivers Sunday.
The Dolphins, while fun, but not nearly good enough to make a serious playoff run as currently constructed.
The Steelers beat and bloodied the Dolphins here Sunday, hammering Miami 30-12 to hand savagely end what was a remarkable season in South Florida.
Miami entered the full of vim and vigor, but in the end, the doubters were right.
The Dolphins got fat off bad teams but couldn’t beat the good ones. They finished the year 1-5 against teams with winning records. And they allowed 30 or more points in six of their last seven games.
