Ranking the Steelers Super Bowl wins from bottom to top

The Steelers came back from a halftime deficit to beat the Rams in Super Bowl XIV

At halftime of Super Bowl XIV, the Steelers were trailing the Los Angeles Rams by three points.  I could not believe we were losing at halftime, albeit by only three points but we were losing and I was really upset because we didn’t look very sharp in the first half.

I think part of the reason I was upset was that I was running a pretty high fever, one-hundred and two if I remember correctly.  My Dad put me in the bathtub to see if the fever would go down.  I remember telling him that I didn’t want to take a bath unless I could watch the game.

He got an old, small black and white television and put it in the bathroom so I could watch the game.  Needless to say, the fever broke and I resumed watching the game on the ‘big’, color television.

Bradshaw was picked off in the second quarter.  That INT lead to a FG by the Rams to take the lead.  It was concerning to me to see us play what I considered to be ‘sloppy’ football in the first half.  Then the second half commenced.

After taking the lead in the third quarter, we gave it right back to make the score nineteen to seventeen, Rams.  I was beside myself.  That was probably the first time I actually thought we might lose a Super Bowl.  I could not reconcile the fact that the Steelers might lose this game.

True to form and as he did so many times before, particularly in the playoffs, Bradshaw ‘aired it out’, throwing a TD pass to essentially put the game out of reach.  Another TD, this time courtesy of the ground game, sealed the victory.

Bradshaw was named MVP, despite throwing three INTs. I’ve stated before that Bradshaw was at his best when it mattered the most.  The Steelers had won another Super Bowl, had won four in a six-year period, and cemented our legacy in the annals of Super Bowl lore.

Let’s see what game comes in at number two.
