Who won the Steelers vs. Dolphins game last night?

Tua Tagovailoa's return to the Miami Dolphins lineup ended with a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In what was a rather entertaining game, the Steelers gave it their best shot but fell just short.

Pittsburgh's rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett showed immense potential and nearly won the game for his team in a last-second drive.

However, a poor throw resulted in an interception to end the game.

In the 16-10 win for the Dolphins, both sides of the ball had good moments with Raheem Mostert on the ground and speedy receivers in Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill all contributing.

Despite a first half that yielded 26 points, the second half produced zilch as both teams struggled to capatilize on their chances.

A critical call from the Dolphins not to kick a field goal to make it a two-score game early in the fourth nearly came back to bite them.

Kenny Pickett was driving his team down near the redzone and had time left on the clock. But in a moment the rookie will want back, he was intercepted.

Tua, Dolphins impove to 4-3 with win over Steelers

After Tua Tagovailoa's concussion issues over the last few weeks, he once again appeared to put himself in harm's way.

On a broken play, Tagovailoa took off and went head-to-head (literally) with a Steelers defender.

The Miami quarterback led with his head in a move that left many holding their breath.

Nevertheless, the Miami star managed to pull his team to a crucial win. He completed 21 of his 35 passes for 261 passing yards and a touchdown. His receivers, Jaylen Waddle (4 rec, 88 yards), Tyreek Hill (7 rec, 72 yards) and Trent Sherfield (3 rec, 44 yards) were the main targets.

Running back Raheem Mostert (16 carries, 79 yards) had success on the ground as Miami clinched its first win in three weeks.

For Kenny Pickett, it will be a game of learnings. At times, he looked like he could pull off the win, but poor throws undid all his good work. He finished with 257 yards passing, one touchdown and three interceptions in the loss.

The lone bright spot was his connection with George Pickens (6 rec, 61 yards, 1 TD), while tight end Pat Freiermuth (8 rec, 88 yards) was the Steelers' best receiver.
