ABC Sports Online

Miami opened up a 27-0 lead in the first half with the aid of two Dick Anderson interception returns for touchdowns. Terry Bradshaw, who didn't start because of a shoulder separation suffered in October, replaced starter Joe Gilliam, and brought the Steelers back with two touchdown passes. Bob Griese gave up a safety in the closing minutes to cut the Miami lead to 30-26, but the Steelers couldn't complete their comeback. In addition to his two TDs tying an NFL record, Anderson intercepted four passes on the night, tying an NFL record.
