Miami Gardens - Dolphins owner Stephen Ross smiled broadly as he high fived team president Mike Tannenbaum. Second year running back Jay Ajayi had just reeled off a 62 yard touchdown run up the right sideline to put an exclamation point on what was already an impressive home victory for the Dolphins. This was an important win for the team in aqua - and not because they were supposed to beat the team from Pittsburgh - but because they weren't.
During the week leading up to the game, the Steelers had been favored by as many as ten points, on the road against these young upstarts.
