Bradshaw was still getting benched in his 5th season for Joe Gilliam and Terry Hanratty. Not many ownerships would have been that patient (per Bradshaw's stats below). In our rivalry with Pittsburgh - it's safe to say patience beat knee jerk more than we wanted it to.

The Steelers franchise really turned on that Immaculate Reception play, similar to the more modern day Tuck Rule with Brady. The Steelers had a few down years in the 80s, but since '72 they've been really consistently good (damnit). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
