Super Bowl XIV Steelers 31 vs Rams 19
Complete NBC broadcast with Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshire calling the game


MVP Terry Bradshaw combines with Swann and Stallworth to bring the Steelers back to win in a close, competitive game versus a tenacious Rams team! Los Angeles didn't figure to put a dent in the Steel Curtain, but as a wise man once said... that's why they play the games.

After sleepwalking through a somewhat lackluster first half (and consequently trailing 13-10), the Steelers open the 2nd half with a picture perfect 47-yard Bradshaw bomb to Swann, who makes a breathtaking leaping grab over double-coverage for the TD. Pittsburgh's lead is short-lived, however, as the Rams score quickly on a stunning halfback option pass to seize the momentum right back. A game-ending injury to Swann and two Bradshaw INT's send the Steelers into the 4th quarter trailing 19-17.

But Bradshaw, as always, is resilient.

On 3rd and 8 from the Steelers 27, Bradshaw lets loose a rocket to Stallworth deep down the middle for a 73-yard TD. Terry's pass proves to be the winning score in a game which saw the lead change hands six times. The Rams threaten to once again take the lead late in the 4th when Jack Lambert steps in front of a Ferragamo pass for an interception to ensure a Pittsburgh victory. Terry follows up with a 50-yard bomb to Stallworth to set up an insurance TD and bring Art Rooney a fourth Lombardi Trophy.

Footage features some pre-game and lots of post-game interviews with Noll, Bradshaw, Swann, Stallworth and more.

Note: There are two versions of this game, both have outstanding video quality. This version is the complete CBS broadcast with Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshire calling the game. The other version is the CBS broadcast with the radio call from Jack Fleming and Myron Cope dubbed in.
