On a cold night in Pittsburgh, the Steelers lead the Dolphins 7-3 at halftime.
Connor Heyward scored on a 1-yard touchdown run out of the wildcat, which is the Steelers’ version of the tush push. Tight end Darnell Washington pushed Heyward into the end zone on third down for Heyward’s first career rushing touchdown.
It came with only 17 seconds left in the first half.
