During the period of the Steelers' playoff run of the '70s, 1972 through '79, their record against teams that eventually finished the season below .500 was -- get ready -- 50-1. They simply did not lose to the bad teams


It is very impressive.....Chuck Noll never lost when the steelers were favored to win as zulater has often said

It is an impressive stat, but it also bears noting that the talent gap between "good" teams and "bad" teams back then was MUCH greater than it is now. There was no free agency, no salary cap, and almost zero player movement.
