Rams played a game worth being proud of, effort-wise. Steelers were just a great team. Great teams like them, the Packers of the 60s, Cowboys in the 70s, and 1980s 49ers, had this quality of coming back and winning games like this.
That Steelers team was so good, they had 52 turnovers and won the Super Bowl. The team in general and Terry Bradshaw in particular, had trouble concentrating if they weren't up for a game. The ONLY game they had all year without a turnover was against Dallas. The one game all year they were totally up for.
McKay doubled as the Bucs GM. According to quarterback Doug Williams, McKay addressed the team for playing poorly: "Some of you guys are playing like you don't want to be here. If you don't want to be here, come see me. I'll trade your ass!" 😮😮😮🤣🤣🤣
"Waddy was wide open, Ray. Waddy was wide open on the post." The image at 38:00 We almost had an upset of Namath proportions with this one. Rams outplayed the Steelers for three quarters. Unfortunately, it takes four, especially against a super team like the Steelers. As good a Super Bowl as was ever played, even if it is largely forgotten. Also, Stallworth should have been MVP. He completely saved the Steelers bacon in this game.
Funny thing was, the Rams seemed to have the Steelers number in the '70s. They beat the Steelers at the Coliseum 10-3 in '75, and again 10-7 in '78. Needless to say, the Steelers certainly didn't take them lightly.
What could have been…if Vince never int that pass to lambert it’s would have been just like SB 3. Hell this team could have won more than more dare I say they could have more like 3 or 4. But the Steelers was the team of the 70s for a reason.
I liked how the game was in the 80s… not too skewed overall towards either pass or run… there were teams who excelled in one or the other or both. By the 90s the game definitely became pass first instead of balanced like it was in the 80s.
That Chargers team had Pittsburgh's number 78.thru 81, That loss to Houston was as big a playoff upset ad any and SD lost their best chance ever at a Championship
I remember those glory days of the Pittsburgh Steelers. who knows if Terry Bradshaw wouldnt have gotten hurt the one year and Franco Harris another they might have won 6 Super Bowls in a row.
They weren't capable of overcoming barriers in 77 to win 6 consecutive SB's. The monetary gripe by many players and lawsuits scenario in 1977 destroyed team continuity ,they weren't psychologically unified enough to capture anything other then barely winning the AFC Central division that season ,the first round defeat to the eventual conference champ Broncos was inevitable .
They cut a live performance of McFadden and Whitehead singing “Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now” so that some barely legible goomba could sing some tone def garbage for the Steelers?!? Lmao even NFL Films was in the bag for those roided out Steelers.
Great memories. My football years from my childhood
There will never be anything like the Steelers of the 70s. & I'm a Raiders Fan but these guys were SO much fun to watch

Cowboys always lost to Steelers in 70s and 80s
They beat the steelers in 1972 and again in 1985. So not always.
@@Brody-cx5vlNeil O'Donnell gift wrapped the Cowboys a SB in the 90's then left Pittsburgh and got a max contact with the Jets
Staworth was covered! Terry threw a perfect ball!!!
Those team fight songs were AWEFUL!!!

That second big Stallworth catch in the 4th quarter... My goodness

John McKay was the best " We can't win at home , we can't win away , so were looking for a neutral site " ! GOLD !

Thank you for uploading these. I had the dvds as a kid.

San Diego Chokers along with their Cheapskate owner Gene Klein began their string of chokes. 1979-82.
Talking about the pass game in 1979. Four decades later, it's all that matters. Not sure that's actually an improvement.
I liked how the game was in the 80s… not too skewed overall towards either pass or run… there were teams who excelled in one or the other or both. By the 90s the game definitely became pass first instead of balanced like it was in the 80s.
"Air Coryell" remember these prolfic offenses

Chargers beat Steelers once. Only once.
@@1USACitizen192not true…they beat them in 79, 80, 81, and in the 82 playoffs. Like he said, they had Shitsburgh’s number.
@@1USACitizen192those Charger teams were probably the best teams to not make it to a super bowl, imho

Harry Kalas instead of John Facenda? Interesting
there is a Facenda narrated version of this, too. The exact same script.
Ranas had that game
Rams played a better overall game! 🏉
I was 2 yrs old. Just sayn...
How the hell did the oilers beat the chargers that how??
San Diego sports curse.

The NFL was so much fun to me growing up in the 1970s and 80s. Now, we have politics and wokeness. It will never be the same.
I told Bradshaw to throw deep.

Believe it or not I never thought the Steelers were on 'roids I know they could play angry most of the time
@33:50 acquiring Lynn Swann in the draft elevated the Steelers to another level
I think the Rams went to 5 NFC championship games during the seventies finally reaching yhe SB in '79
