Here's the play from TV. I don't know why they included a commercial.
The Ref admits that it was in fact a fumble but because they couldn't determine who recovered it the Steelers were given the possession.
It clearly shows two Dolphins falling on it first and as soon as they have possession and are touched by a Steeler they are down and the play is dead. It's not who ends up with the ball by the time the ref gets there. Even if that were true someone said in the end a Dolphin player handed the ball to a ref.
So with video proof that two Dolphins had the ball on the ground and a Dolphin ending up with it last the Dolphins should have been given possession.
