Adam Gase confirms the Dolphins are concerned it's a torn ACL for Ryan Tannehill. Was making big strides this season

Injury-free game
Only injury Coach Tomlin said from the game was to Mike Mitchell (left knee) who was able to return. Good news on that front.

Win is still a win
Ben's 37.8 passer rating is his worst for a game since 11/3/08 and 5th-worst of his career
Oddity: Steelers won 4 of those 5 worst games

O-line steps up too
The Steelers offensive line was dominant today. 3rd time in last 4 games they’ve allowed no sacks. Oh, and led the way for 240 yds rushing.
