Thank you for your question.
Yes the game was played at Pittsburgh.
The Dolphins won 21-17 at Pittsburgh (Dec. 31, 1972, 50,845 people attended).
Back then, the playoff system wasn't as it is today.
In 1972 the NFC champ. game between Dallas and Washington wasn't played in Washington even though Washington won the NFC east ahead of Dallas and the 1973 game between Minnesota and Dallas was played at Dallas even though Dallas went 10-4 and the Vikings were 12-2 (the Vikings won anyway).
