Steelers v. Dolphins

That's the Monday Night Game.  Feels very 1978.

The Steelers are 13-12 against Miami in the regular season, and they are 2-2 in the playoffs.

Here are the four playoff matchups:

12/31/1972:  In one of the best AFC Title games ever played, the Dolphins beat the Steelers 21-17 in Pittsburgh to win the trip to Super Bowl VII.  This game featured what is probably the most famous fake punt in NFL history.

12/30/1979:  The Steelers buried the Dolphins 34-14 in Pittsburgh in the Divisional Playoffs on their way to winning Super Bowl XIV.

01/06/1985:  In Chuck Noll's last AFC Title game, the Dolphins crushed the Steelers 45-28 at the Orange Bowl in Dan Marino's national coming out party.

01/08/2017:  In Pittsburgh, the Steelers rolled 30-12 over the Dolphins in a Wild Card Game.
