Muddy Night Football

Daylong rain turns the new sod at Heinz Field into a quagmire

One of the more enjoyable (to watch) football games of the season was played last night. The Steelers beat Miami 3-0 with a FG in the last 20 seconds of the game! The funniest play was a Miami punt where the football sank nose down in the mud ... no bounce ... just phwapt!

SI: Steelers beat Dolphins 3-0 Pittsburgh scores in final minute on muddy field

Excerpt:

Late in the third quarter, Brandon Fields' punt from near the Miami goal line came straight down and plugged in the soggy turf like an arrow, burying itself several inches deep.
