Week 7-a 14 to 9 Win at Yankee Stadium The Steelers played a tremendous defensive game limiting the Giants to 187 yards and three field goals. Overcoming three interceptions, Bobby Layne threw two touchdown passes. The first was 21 yards to Jimmy Orr just before halftime. In the fourth quarter with ...

More significant than Mike Michel in the 20 to 3 win were three plays. Setting up two touchdowns in the first were two plays, I believe each in excess of 40 yards. A Jaworski to Carmichael pass and a long run from Wilbert Montgomery. In the fourth quarter two sacks from the Eagles put the ball at th...

By the time Bobby Layne arrived in Pittsburgh, his glory days were over. In week 9 at Comiskey Park, the Steelers and the Chicago Cardinals were tied at 20 with about two minutes left in the game. M.C. Reynolds had replaced Lamar McCann at quarterback and the Cardinals were on a drive. I figured Chi...

With the Steelers leading 7 to 3, the Lions were trying for a score late in the first half. Tom Bettis intercepted a pass from Milt Plum in the Steelers End Zone and returned it to the 16 yard line. I was hoping Pittsburgh would just run out the clock. Instead Carl Brettschneider intercepted a pass ...

It was good to get a one-sided win vs the Raiders last Sunday. About the only play we regretted was Dallas Goedert's drop of a sure touchdown pass in the second quarter. Seeing our first string on the sidelines for most of the fourth quarter was a welcome site. Of course I am thinking of how Philade...

With the perspective of history, the most important game in Steelers Bear history was the 17 all game on November 24, 1963. This was at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, two days after the killing of President Kennedy. I can still see Steeler offensive line demolish the Bears defensive line on Dick Hoak's...

Yesterday's game was the worst I have felt since the 2008 NFC Title Game. No team can continue with this kind of sluggish offense and expect to win. The Eagles just could not move the ball consistently after the first quarter and that put too much pressure on the defense. Barkeley was awful and the ...

This were tight games and the Eagles ran their record to 8-2. They cannot, however, keep winning with low scoring. It will catch up with them before the season ends. We had six game winning streaks in both 1991 and 2009. They left points on the field at least three games in each streak. Then Dallas ...

It was like the football we had back in the early 70s. After the 1973 season, the NFL made many rules to de-empathize both the defense and the kicking game. The game last night was still exciting because of the crip play of the lineman from both teams. The only complaint for me was the fumble from J...

Reference to the Steelers-Cowboys Super Bowl in January of 1979, Jackie Smith dropped what would have been the tying touchdown. Trailing 21 to 14, Dallas had to settle for a field goal.
