The Miami victory eliminated the Steelers from the playoffs.
However, the Dolphins had to await the result of the Buffalo Bills game with the New England Patriots.
Once the Bills finished off a 35-23 victory, Miami was in the postseason and earned itself a trip to Orchard Park to face Buffalo in the Wild-Card round.
