Video - 1976 Playoffs - Steelers 40 Colts 14
Maybe the best playoff performance by the 70s Steelers by what is generally regarded as the most talented of the 70s Steelers teams

Bradshaw throws a 75 yard TD pass to Frank Lewis in the slot at the 7:30 mark of the video and it was off to the races
Total beatdown - but Franco & Rocky were injured and did not play in the AFC Championship game loss the next week at Oakland
Video ends at 2 minute warning but game was long over by then

1976 Steelers were the best defense to never win a SB. Remember they were coming off back-to-back SB wins and were looking for 3 in a row. That was too much for even them.

You lose your two best running backs going into a championship game and you will lose that game.
It’s a shame that team with the finish they had didn’t get to compete for the three peat at full strength.
In my mind, fully healthy, they would have pulled it off.
