The No. 3 Pittsburgh Steelers will host the No. 6 Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. Here is how to watch this AFC Wild Card game online.
Wild Card weekend will be in full force this weekend in the NFL. There will be four win-or-go-home games in the 2016 NFL Playoffs. One of those games will be between the No. 3 Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5) and the No. 6 Miami Dolphins (10-6) in the 2016 AFC Playoffs.
Kickoff from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Jan. 8 will be at 1:05 p.m. ET. CBS will have the national telecast with Jim Nantz and Phil Simms in the booth. The available live stream can be found on CBSSports.com.
Pittsburgh won the AFC North with an 11-5 record to earn the No. 3 seed in the AFC Playoffs. The Steelers have one of the most balanced offenses in the NFL and a culture that breeds championship teams. This is a team that can definitely contend for a Super Bowl.
Miami earned the No. 6 seed in the AFC Playoffs by having the second best record in the AFC of a non-division winner at 10-6. This is the Dolphins’ first AFC playoff berth since winning the AFC East back in 2008. Miami has a strong running game when healthy, a ferocious pass rush, and a solid young head coach in Adam Gase. The problem is that the Dolphins will have to start backup Matt Moore at quarterback on the road against Pittsburgh.
Date: Sunday, Jan. 8
Time: 1:05 p.m. ET
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Venue: Heinz Field
TV Info: CBS

Pittsburgh is laying a ton of points, but do keep in mind that it was the Dolphins that won this AFC matchup earlier in the year. However, that game was in Miami Gardens and Ryan Tannehill was quarterbacking the Dolphins. He is still recovering from a knee injury suffered only a few weeks ago. This could be a close game, all things considered.
