As a Kid Watching The Steelers in 1976 Dominating Defense and Offense...I Became a Steelers Fan

[@DKoolbj7dl]

The entire 70s Steelers team needs to be in HOF. They were all great!

[@petemcmanus3623]

They had exceptional starters not everyone is hall of fame caliber they had back ups that would start for most if the other NFL teams that's what made them the team of 70s there exceptional depth and the 9 hall of farmers they did have

[@Ballin4Vengeance]

Including the water boy

[@dustinmartin8954]

Hall of Famers on both these squads. 70s Steelers were just flat out awesome!

[@patrickschabel3955]

Cost you $12 ?

[@dustinmartin8954]

My two favorite teams going at it, Steelers my AFC team Redskins my NFC team, I was 9 years old watching this game with dad, I miss this era of football the 70s and 80s, I played this style of ball as a little leaguer up into hs, bygone era! 🖤💛❤️💛💪🇺🇲

Hank Stram was a very underrated commentator! He worked well with both Curt Gowdy and Vin Scully!

[@MichaelBrown-xb6pp]

Running something to the left!

[@jadentrez]

1:48:28. Stallworth is magical.

[@SillyGoose2024]

Its amazing that john riggins is in the hall of fame as one of the greatest ever and yet they wasted the majority of his career as a FB blocking for less quality backs

[@stevecvino]

Yeah that was George Allen. Great defensive coach but not intelligent enough to realize what he had. And he wanted Riggins.

[@shrubbunny3299]

There was 31 teams in nfl in 79, and then there was the Steelers. Awesome team

It wasn't the Redskins day, but it wasn't a surprise going up against the team of the decade. The Redskins did have some foundation pieces in place for what would become a powerhouse team in the 80's.

[@SillyGoose2024]

Not really. They only won two titles in the 80s, both of them in strike shortened seasons when the nfl was messed up. One of those years was only about a half season. A real powerhouse was Pitt winning 4 titles in the 70s ...all in regular length seasons

[@stevecvino]

Except for Starke, no other Hog there yet.

[@KevinT7274]

@@SillyGoose2024 They still count, plus the Redskins made another SB and NFCCG. Only team that was better during the 80's was the 49ers.

[@dannyjohnson8122]

Hall of Famer Mel Blount on Special Teams.

[@tacey01]

My dad had season ticketsfor forty years. Pretty sure I went to this game.

[@MichaelSmith-mi2vr]

Can anyone explain why there are so many cars on the sidelines at Three Rivers Stadium?

[@SillyGoose2024]

That one youtuber covered the story of how someone was driving around in one of the cars during a game once

[@tacey01]

Curt Gowdy was always NBC. He’s going a CBS game here? Interesting.

[@vidstrick5090]

Per Wikipedia, NBC and CBS did a trade with Gowdy for Don Criqui (sp?). So Gowdy did games for CBS for two years.
