Today at 1:00 p.m. ET two AFC hopefuls, the Miami Dolphins (6-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) will meet up at Heinz Field in a game that threatens to end Pittsburgh's playoff dreams altogether. Watch the game on CBS, or live stream it here. Dolphins fans can tune in to the action on 560 WQAM, while Steelers fans may do the same on WDVE 102.5.
While the Richie Incognito bullying scandal threatened to ruin Miami's season a few weeks prior, the Steelers are now the ones dominating headlines thanks to head coach Mike Tomlin's unfortunate placement on the sidelines during a Ravens kick return on Thanksgiving.
"I apologize for causing negative attention to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization," Tomlin said in a statement. "I accept the penalty that I received. I will no longer address this issue as I am preparing for an important game this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins."
This game also marks Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace's return to Pittsburgh after spending the first five seasons of his career in Steel Town.
"It's going to be exciting," Wallace said. "I don't want to get caught up in too much hype about a personal battle with these guys, because it's not really about that. It's about moving forward. These guys stand in the way of our playoff hopes. They're another team in the way that has to go down."
Wallace had an inconsistent start to the season, giving Steelers fans reassurance that letting him go was a wise decision. Now, his play has picked up and he is resembling the dynamic big-play threat Miami thought they signed.
"I'm feeling more comfortable every week in the offense," Wallace said. "It's time to hit my stride. No more warming up. It's time to go. It's December. You've got to make plays now. You don't have time to wait."
