Narrative:

During the visual landing at mia [runway] 8L; we scraped the paint off of the tail skid. Upon discovery during the post-flight; the captain made the appropriate log book entry and maintenance accomplished the necessary inspections. The aircraft was returned to service without delay. The approach was stable and progressed normally right through touchdown when the nose pitched up somewhat abnormally; which is when I think the tail skid scraped the runway. Simultaneously with our landing; a B777 was on takeoff roll from mia [runway] 8R and we had a crosswind from that direction as well. I think there was adverse wake from that aircraft that caused our pitch up. In the future; greater awareness of wake turbulence combined with crosswinds may prevent this situation from developing.
