Hello and welcome to another edition of 'Live-Blogging on Shish on Professional Football'. Tonight it is Miami Dolphins taking on Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins are in a fire sale, today they just traded Kenyan Drake to the Cardinals. One of the players the Dolphins traded away was safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick became a member of the Steelers, thanks to the Dolphins earlier this year. But that is not the problems going on in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are trying to right the ship without their star quarterback. Ben Roethlisberger. But the defense appears to have improved during this rough start to the start of the 2019 Regular Season.

Final Thoughts:
This is looking like the same game over again for the Dolphins. They start off playing great and then as the game progressed the wheels come off their vehicle. Dolphins turned the ball over 4 times, in tonight's game. For the Steelers, they just played a 60 minute game. The other key stat in tonight's game were the Steelers 3rd Down Conversion. They were 6/13 on 3rd Down. They kept the ball in their possession from the 2nd Quarter to the end of the game.

The Dolphins will host the Jets on Sunday. While the Steelers will host the Colts, also on Sunday.
