      @@KS-xo3oh That's true. Tom Brookshier and Summerall were a great broadcast team. You can see at the beginning of this broadcast they are both super hungover. Summerall even calls them "survivors." But by 1980 the network decided to separate them because they were too bad an influence on each other, getting drunk all the time and partying after games. So that's how Summerall ended up being paired with John Madden.

    59 years old this year 2023 and was in high school my sophomore year and remember this like it was only yesterday. Born and bred and still live in Pennsylvania and STILL a diehard fan of my Steelers. This Steelers team I will never forget which was loaded with the most talented and fearsome players I've seen play in my lifetime. Respect though to the LA Rams who in my opinion also had one of the greatest teams ever in their entire history. Classic memories!!!

      People forget that the Rams of this period dominated their division, and were consistent contenders. They won the NFC West every season from 1973 to 1979. If the Vikings and the Cowboys hadn't been in their way for the entire decade, they would have absolutely made it to more Super Bowls.

I am a Steelers fan but that day I was hoping the Rams would win it for my Dad. Admired many of the Steelers greats that played in this game.

      In the fall of 1980 I remember Howard Cosell was calling a Steelers' game (can't remember who they were playing) and Howard says something very close to "The wheels have come off the Pittsburgh Steelers!" I didn't give it too much thought at the time but over the years it seems to resonate. Then, going into that season there was talk of "One for the thumb" which I remember made me wince a little. I also remember thinking that if there were ever a group that could back up that sort of bravado it was the Pittsburgh Steelers.
      While I admire the modern age Steelers for their achievements and Super Bowl victories it's the '70s Steelers I rerun in memory. Because of my family heritage, moving east from the Pittsburgh-metro area in the early-'50s to make steel in southeastern Pennsylvania, I also root for the Eagles because my father adopted his new hometown and became an Eagles/Phillies fan and remained so up until the time of his death in late-2010. My maternal grandfather was a Pirates and Steelers fan with the move east and I used to always ask him the scores of the Pirates games as he listened on his Cadillac's radio out in the driveway in front of the garage.

      I'm not sure it would have been that big of an upset. Sure, the Rams were playing a relatively untested QB in Vince Ferragamo in the Super Bowl, but of all the teams in the NFC back then, the Rams were the one that gave the Steelers the most trouble. (Believe it or not, Roger Staubach, as great as he was, never beat the Steelers.) In fact, in the two greatest seasons of that iteration of the Steelers, they lost a total of four games, two each in 1975 and '78. The Rams were responsible for two of those losses, beating the Steelers during each of those two seasons. And to be quite honest, the Rams had a better chance to win with Ferragamo than they would have with Pat Haden, had he been healthy, because Ferragamo could stretch a defense, something Haden couldn't do. So the fact that the Rams played the Steelers like they did should not have surprised anyone.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rams sprinted to the other end of the field, appearing eager to finish off the victory. The Steelers stood in place on the field, watching the Rams run. Several Steelers said later that it made them mad, and inspired their play the rest of the way.

    Does anyone else notice that old fashioned offenses played a lot faster than today's offenses? The run plays out of those close-split, multi-back formations were so explosive back then. Nowadays running backs start further back and it's a jogging taxi to the hand-off and THEN the run starts, and the name of the game is accurate blocks, finding the hole, etc.; back then it was about speed and explosion, and the running back would treat the entire play like a sprinter, the quarterback having to be just as fast to feed him the ball without him slowing down. Take 16:15 as a perfect example; just watch how everything explodes so quickly.

      it is an interesting theory about O'Donnell.

      The two picks he threw to Larry Brown were a bit odd.. Corey Holiday did appear to run a wrong route (he went the opposite way) or... did he?
      Guess we'll never know for sure. But one more fact (aside from the above mentioned record)... was that O'Donnell was with the Jets the very next season.
      Leading speculation towards the fact he just wanted out of the Burg.. (he was miffed at the rise of K.Stewart within the team).
      Dunno. I try not to think about it. I actually brag on Neil for the other games he played during his career.. the low INT rate sure helped the defense by keeping them off of the field and fresh all the time. *shrug*

    Everyone loved to pick on the Rams for their 9-7 regular season record but they had been perennial contenders that won the western division seven years in a row. They had to overcome a lot of injuries early in the 1979 season. In 1978, they went 12-4 and got to the NFC championship game... So, they were actually one of the elite teams in the league. Their defense was every bit as tough as Pittsburgh’s and they had in fact beaten the Steelers 10-7 during a 1978 Monday night game (The Steelers lost only twice that year...).
    What the Rams lacked from 1973-78 was a quarterback who could match a Staubach, Tarkenton, Stabler or Bradshaw... That was the missing ingredient.
    Farragamo was a very good QB. If he had joined the Rams in 1973, they would’ve performed better in the big games against the Vikings and Cowboys... As it was, the Rams were decent under Farragamo in 1980 - went 11-5... But went downhill after that because their defensive core got too old...
    They played a very good game against the Steelers. If Cromwell gets his interception and scores, and Jack Youngblood gets his, they woulda had an excellent chance ... But alas, Jack Lambert got one instead and sealed the deal...
    The Steelers were a GREAT team!

    Easily the most underrated Super Bowl ever played. The official NFL Films documentary showed someone was running wide open on the Lambert interception. I think it was Waddy. Would've been the biggest SB upset (bigger than Namath over the Colts) Indeed, as someone else pointed out, the 1979 season was a weird one. The Saints blew two memorable games at home that year, to the Falcons and Raiders, that cost them not just the division but a playoff berth altogether. That's who was leading the NFC West at midseason. Then the Bucs came out of nowhere to host the NFCCG, which they lost to the Rams in a defensive struggle. Over the AFC, the Steelers are pretty lucky they didn't have to travel to play the Air Coryell Chargers in the AFCCG. The Chargers had beaten them up pretty bad in the regular season matchup. But they were upset at home by the Oilers in the divisional playoffs, and without Earl Campbell or Dan Pastorini playing in the game.

    Per Bryan Ardo of Behind The Steel Curtain:
    "You're seeing the end of a dynasty." 35 years later, my mom still remembers my dad telling her this following the Steelers' 31-19 victory over the Rams in Super Bowl XIV.
    Maybe it was seeing the decline in the aging defense. Maybe it was seeing the Steelers offense commit the most turnovers in the NFL in '79. Maybe is was witnessing the fight of the youthful Rams, who at times looked like the superior team in Super Bowl XIV.
    Regardless of why or how, my dad knew Super Bowl XIV was the Steelers' swan song (no pun intended). I feel like Super Bowl XIV is the least remembered of the four Super Bowls Pittsburgh won during that six-year span, even though it was the best of the four games.

      The Steelers lost four division games by a total of 10 points in 1980; three by a total of four points in the first half of the season. Bahr missed FGs and PATs in all of those games but special teams matter. Worst part was the drafting by the Steelers. The team actually had two second-round picks and whiffed on both while also missing on Malone in round one in the ’80 draft. A real chance to get younger on defense but it wasn’t in the cards.

    I even got to run 99 yrds for a TD, on the first play of a homecoming game, once, after our receiver dropped it. We were fired up after that... And won it. I even ran a 90yrd return, in that game, too.

The game changed partly because physical linebackers advanced for being able to take on those lead blockers and screw up the play right from the jump. Fast forward 20 years and inside LB's are tall, lean, and fast. Perfect opportunity to bring those bruisers back like the Niners did. That guy is such a physical specimen, he can do things that old school fullbacks never could. Start a lane towards the right b gap and cut back to throw a block to the left b or c gap? That was impossible to run efficiently back in the day. The fb's simply didn't have that type of athleticism. Thats why I think 44 is so special.
