Steelers 17, Dolphins 3
At Pittsburgh, the Dolphins lost five fumbles in the first half and seven overall in a miserably played game, exhibition or not, and the Steelers (2-0) had just enough offense to capitalize.
James Harrison, filling in for injured Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Porter, scored on a 69-yard return of quarterback Gus Frerotte's fumble in the first quarter for the Steelers' fourth return touchdown in two preseason games. But Pittsburgh's only touchdown on offense -- Ben Roethlisberger and the starters were shut out for a second consecutive game -- was backup Verron Haynes' 1-yard run in the third quarter set up by, of course, a Dolphins fumble.
Frerotte had moved ahead of A.J. Feeley in the race to be the Dolphins' opening day quarterback, but it was hard to tell as Miami (0-3) lost nearly as many fumbles as Frerotte had completed passes.
