Remember the week before everybody said the real Super Bowl was when the Raiders beat the Dolphins who were coming off back-to-back Super Bowl wins and a perfect season two years prior. Everybody except Coach Noll who gave a famous speech at halftime of this game when they were down 10-3.
This is a couple of seasons after the Immaculate Reception, but if you want to see the birth of a dynasty watch the last 15 minutes of the game. Rocky Bleier was the leading rusher until the final play on offense and saved the game with the recovery of a Bradshaw self-inflicted fumble. The rookie Lynn Swann looked very impressive too. Just think, nobody knew what the next six years would look like.
In 1974, the Steelers had the best pass defense and their return game was amazing too. Okay, they had Roy Gerela and Bobby Walden, but you can't have HoFers in every position- although that year's draft produced a record four players.
