Taking a handoff out of the backfield, Smith found a crease and raced 14 yards to the end zone, extending Pittsburgh’s lead and sending the home crowd into a frenzy. It was Smith’s first rushing touchdown since the 2020 season, showing the versatility that made him such an intriguing piece of the blockbuster trade that sent him and Jalen Ramsey to Pittsburgh in exchange for Minkah Fitzpatrick last June.
“NOOOOOOO!” The Steelers’ social media account immediately posted, echoing chants from believers in the stands.
While Smith didn’t have the greatest statistical season in 2025, it’s moments like these that validate the front office’s decision. He finished the night as a key factor in the Steelers’ dominant 28-15 victory, a victory that keeps them firmly in the hunt for the AFC North title.
It was a double dose of pain for Miami, watching their former tight end celebrate in the end zone while their own playoff hopes took a huge hit. The Dolphins, 6-8, are now on the brink of elimination, while the Steelers, 8-6, are peaking at the right time.
John Smith may not be held accountable, but his play on the court certainly spoke volumes. Message received, Miami.
