	NFL.com - Oakland at Pittsburgh Game Recap
		The Raiders' collapse a season after playing in the Super Bowl reached new depths as Antwaan Randle El's playmaking led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 27-7 victory in a matchup of disappointing teams.
		Oakland's 3-10 record is its worst since moving into the NFL in 1970 and is rivaled in team history only by its seasons of 2-12 in 1961 and 1-13 in 1962.
		Pittsburgh trails AFC North leader Baltimore (8-5) by three games with three to play, and the Ravens next play in Oakland.

	Super Bowl V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NFL's Colts, the Cleveland Browns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to join the other 10 AFL teams to form the AFC.
		But Unitas played inconsistently during the 1970 regular season; he threw for 2,213 yards, but recorded more interceptions (18) then touchdowns (14), and thus earned a passer rating of just 65.1.
		This is why the Colts represented the NFL in Super Bowl III, but not the NFC for Super Bowl V. The game is sometimes called the "Blooper Bowl" or the "Turnover Bowl" because it was filled with poor play, turnovers and officiating miscues.

	Terry Bradshaw - Sports Celebrity Entertainment
		Although he temporarily lost the starting job to Joe Gilliam in 1974, Bradshaw took over again during the season and helped take the Steelers to their first Super Bowl victory, a 16-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings, in which he completed 9 of 14 passes.
		The only quarterback ever to take a team to four Super Bowl victories, Bradshaw played at Louisiana Tech and was the first player chosen in the 1970 NFL draft, by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
		The following year, Bradshaw threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Lynn Swann with a little more than 3 minutes remaining to beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 in Super Bowl X. Bradshaw had his finest season in 1978, when he won the Bert Bell Trophy as the NFL player of the year.

	Pittsburgh Pirates - Three Rivers Stadium
		The stadium was shared with the Pittsburgh Steelers ever since the Pirates moved from Forbes Field in 1970.
		The stadium was scheduled to open for the start of the 1970 season, but wasn’t ready on Opening Day; nor was it ready for its revised target date of May 29, because the lights had yet to be put in place.
		It may be the quintessential "cookie-cutter stadium" - it was symmetrical in shape, used artificial surface, and was a multipurpose sports facility designed so that the Pittsburgh Steelers could play there as well.

	Buffalo Bills - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tragedy struck the Bills when Bob Kalsu, an offensive lineman, quit the team after his 1968 rookie season to serve in the Vietnam War, where he was killed in action in 1970.
		They would not get a chance to get back to the Super Bowl—the Pittsburgh Steelers, who went on to advance to the Super Bowl, beat Buffalo in the divisional playoffs 40-21.
		The Bills won AFL championships in both 1964 and 1965, were one of only three teams to appear in an AFL championship game for three consecutive years, and the only AFL team to play in the post-season for four straight years, 1963 through 1966.

	Encyclopedia: Buffalo Bills
		After the AFL merged into the NFL in 1970, the Bills spent the next few years in the basement until Lou Saban, who coached the Bills' AFL championship teams, returned in time for the 1972 season.
		They made the NFL playoffs for the first time in 1974, but lost in the first round to the eventual champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
		1973 was a season of change: Joe Ferguson became their new quarterback, they moved into a new stadium, Simpson recorded a 2000-yard season and was voted NFL MVP, and the team had its first winning record since 1966.

		Similar playoff losses the next seasons were followed by a 16-13 last-second loss to Baltimore in Super Bowl V following the 1970 season.
		The winning continued under Switzer, as the "Team of the Nineties" won its third Super Bowl in four years with a 27-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XXX.
		Playing in the storied Cotton Bowl, the 1960 Cowboys had to settle for one tie in 12 games and Dallas didn't break even until its sixth season in 1965.

	Emmitt Smith 2002
		Smith opened the season with a bang at Pittsburgh (9/4), recording a season-high 171 yards rushing and one touchdown on 31 carries against a Steelers' defense that would finish second in the NFL in total defense.
		Smith also led the NFL in total yards from scrimmage with 1,900 (1,486 rushing/414 receiving), outdistancing runner-up Thurman Thomas of Buffalo (1,702) by almost 200 yards, and with a 5.3 yards-per-carry average, the highest average by a Dallas running back since Duane Thomas posted a 5.3 average in 1970.
		Smith had one of the league's best scoring seasons in 1994, accumulating an NFL high 22 touchdowns and tying for second in scoring (132 points), and along the way, he became the first non-kicker to lead Dallas in scoring since Bob Hayes and Dan Reeves tied for the team lead in 1967.

	USATODAY.com - Announcer Myron Cope retiring after 35 years with Steelers
		PITTSBURGH (AP) — Myron Cope, whose screechy-voiced antics and towel-waving enthusiasm became nationally known during the Pittsburgh Steelers' string of Super Bowl championships in the 1970s, is retiring after 35 years as a team announcer.
		Cope, a one-of-a-kind voice who became a broadcaster in 1970 only because of a radio station executive's whimsy, decided to quit after retired team executive Joe Gordon told him his on-air work had declined.
		Cope, 76, has had several years of health problems, including a concussion that caused him to be disoriented during one game and to miss another last season.

	IMG Speakers -Speakers Bureau
		The Chiefs and 49ers were the only teams in the NFL to reach the playoffs seven times in the '90s and from 1989-1997 the Chiefs finished either first or second in the AFC West, a nine-year stretch matched only by the Pittsburgh Steelers (1971-79) since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
		After a career as an All-America linebacker at the University of Pittsburgh, he was selected in the fourth round of the 1965 NFL draft by the Baltimore Colts and in the seventh round of the AFL draft by the Buffalo Bills.
		Dating back to his first full season as a head coach in Cleveland in 1985, Schottenheimer's teams have been ranked in the league's Top 10 in total defense eight times and in scoring defense nine times, including the 1995 and '97 seasons when the Chiefs led the league in scoring defense.
