Relive the Pittsburgh Steelers' memorable 1978 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the opening day success at Buffalo all the way through the thrilling triumph in Super Bowl XIII, as told in the original newspaper stories.
Some thought the Steelers were on the downslide heading into the '78 campaign. Pittsburgh had been defeated in the last two playoffs and fresh contenders seemed poised to overtake them. But it turned out that the best was yet to come.
Led by a rejuvenated Terry Bradshaw and a still-ferocious Steel Curtain defense, Pittsburgh dominated the NFL like never before in compiling a 14-2 record before marauding through the postseason on the way to their third championship. There were many highlights along the way, including a classic overtime win over the hated Browns achieved with a bit of razzle-dazzle, a brutal triumph over the upstart Oilers to clinch the AFC Central crown for a seventh straight year and of course that magical run through the playoffs capped by a shootout win over the Cowboys in one of the most entertaining Super Bowls ever.
All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Chuck Noll's Steelers from start to finish as they returned to the NFL's summit and became the first team to ever win three Super Bowl rings.
As an added bonus, links to many video films and highlights are included to add more depth to the story of the 1978 Steelers. Whether you are a die-hard Steelers fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers.
