In a game that actually benefitted the Steelers in the playoff standings, the Broncos were able to overcome playing from behind for the majority of the game with Peyton Manning connecting with Demaryius Thomas for three out of his four passing touchdowns for the 39-36 victory. The Dolphins had a last-ditch effort scoring drive with a two-point conversion but failed to convert the onside kick and the Broncos were able to run out the clock from that point on to seal the victory. This actually benefits the Steelers, who remain in their spot as the 5th seed in the AFC Playoff race so far.
