The Pittsburgh Steelers moved to 8-6 on the season and continue to hold firm atop the AFC North with a 28-15 victory over the Miami Dolphins (6-8) on Monday night. While the win moves Pittsburgh one step closer to the playoffs, the loss officially eliminates Miami from postseason contention.

The Miami Dolphins have a chance to even their record at 7-7 with a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Denver Broncos are ranked number one in the NFL Power Rankings after Week 15 with a 12-2 record. The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks follow the Broncos in the power rankings.

On the NFC side, Green Bay Packers trade acquisition Micah Parsons suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. Parsons has totaled 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and a forced fumble in his first season with the Packers.
