- 1971 week 9 game between the Pittsburg Steelers at the Miami Dolphins. The game is played at the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL. Rick Weaver audio is merged with video highlights.
I remember this game , George Mira struggled in the first half .During the off season, 71-72 Earl Morrall was cut by the Colts. Shula claimed him off the waiver wire. That was probably one of the best moves Coach Shula ever made
jake scott showed again why he should be in the hall & curtis johnson showed why he was the most underrated dolphin ever.
I love the intro music to this game.
I understand Chuck Noll had to talk Mel Blount off the ledge after Warfield humiliated him in this tilt with three receptions for 186 yards and three touchdowns.
Larry King with Rick Weaver- Classic
The late Larry King was part of the Dolphins radio broadcast team back then
Paul Warfield, greatest wide receiver ever.
HOW ABOUT JERRY RICE?
Griese had the flu , didn't start this game
I concur ...
@@ceepersandenderdragonssvlo4812 How about Rice ? He played after the rule changes that Mel Blount, who got burned in this game, instituted. Warfield didnt have to catch 90 passes a year. He was a homerun hitter, that the defense had to account for on every play opening up great running attacks for the Browns and Dolphins, who won their LAST championships with him on the roster ...
A native of Warren Ohio
Rick Weaver sounds alot like Bill King ... Holy Toledo !!
The next year the undefeated 14-0 Dolphins had to play the 11-3 Steelers in Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship. How ridiculous.
Cool video,Dolphins were hitting their championship stride and the Steelers were still a few pieces shy of that 74 team. There were some soon to be HOF coming to the Steelers over the next 3 and 4 years that were still in college at this time. Alas, i was a Viking fan and my Vikes got crushed by both these teams in the ........ah crap why relive that again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Bob Heinz? Wow! This is old school. Bob Stanfill, this is too much.
Even in the early 1970s teams had such nice uniforms and logos. No ugly USFL Trump Arena underwear. NFL now officially sucks.
when Men wore jock straps playing for pride. Jake Scott the Steeler killer.
Before Franco the Dolphins could beat the Steelers and even with Franco in 1972. After that...they didn't play much.
nice
Great game ... both Bradshaw and Griese were on-target. Dave Smith should have been a star and Warfield left the great Mel Blount in the dust.
He would do the same thing to Emmitt Thomas of the Chiefs and Charlie Stukes of the Colts in the playoffs. Only the Cowboys neutralized him with double and even triple coverage ...
Bob Griese. Flu Game.
Yea!! The Dolphins win again!! The Dolphins are the team of the 70's Steelers could never beat this team.
The Dolphins were the team of the 70s? Last time I looked, the Steelers won four Super Bowls during that era. Just saying.
If it wasn't for the world football league the steelers might not have won 4 super bowls in 70s Several dolphins jump ship after 74
We will never know
@@erickthefantabulous1 Yes, Dolphins on their way to winning Super bowl 75, Raiders had the game of the Century. Then fell asleep against Pittsburgh the next week.
Dolphins were NOT the team of the 1970s.
I’m surprised the Dolphins didn’t make the Pittsburgh Steelers wear their Home Blacks in the middle of the Florida Heat.
If I do recall, in the 1973 AFC Championship Game played in Miami the Raiders had to wear their Home Blacks in 80 degree temperature during the game.
I"m also surprised that the Orange Bowl had artificial turf back then. Players would describe playing on Astro-turf as playing on carpet over concrete. Almost unimaginable by today's standards.
We lost to the Steelers in a '79 playoff game

Yes, I know. In the Division Playoffs played at Freezing Cold Pittsburgh.

From what I understood, playing on Artificial Turf only made the field temperature 30 degrees hotter than what the weather actually was during game time.
So when you are playing a game in 80 degree temperatures, it feels more like 110 when you are actually on the field. Imagine if the Steelers did wear their Home Blacks during this game, I bet you anything Miami would have easily defeated the Steelers. Why do believe the Dolphins always wore their Whites when they were at Home? That Florida Heat can be stifling!
@@aedin6397 artificial turf was easier to maintain as opposed to real grass , you don't need to fertilize, water or mow artificial turf. I think it was all about the owner's way to save money,
at least that's one guy's opinion
The Steelers were an awful team in 1969, a bad team in 1970, an average team in 1971, and a very good team in 1972......draft picks, patience, good coaching, and good fortune all contributed to their metamorphosis.
They did wear names on the white uniforms, but the names were in a single color yellow and hard to read. Pittsburgh at that time was just learning how to win! But they would be one of the NFL's best teams in the 70's and somebody named Franco Harris would do just that. So would Lynn Swann and Mean Joe Greene, and some quarterback named Terry Bradshaw! But 1971 belonged to Miami until they played Dallas in the Super Bowl.
A bad team in 1970? They made the playoffs. So anyone who doesn't win the Super Bowl sucks?
@@westarsatelliteservices2428 The Steelers did not make the playoffs in 1970, they went 5-9. Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty combined for 11 TD passes and 32 INT's. They didn't make the playoffs until 1972, two years later. If you don't know that, it's easy enough to look up.
