@@mcmillenandwife , we need to ban TH-cam for the ban. Also, I wish that the people that did the commentary for the EPSN NFL 2K series could do the commentary for past Super Bowl games, as that is a good video game, as well as one of the first video games that really captured how it truly felt to not only play, but also see, a football game, and people are STILL uncovering things in the code of that game to this day.
Man I miss the old days, a tight end and two running backs on offense, and a 4-3 on defense. And the Super Bowl was on in the afternoon, and didn't take 6 hours
Brings a tear to my eye. I was 10 when the Steelers won this. RIP Franco and Cope. Best time to grow up seeing all the Steelers Super Bowl wins. Thanks guys!! 😀😀
I was 10 also, and I FEARED the Vikings. I prayed at Church that the Stillers would keep it close, and not get embarrassed. Maybe next year we could win it. This game cut the mold for Stillers in my life......way to close, but they do whatever it takes! RIP Chuck Noll, and Franco!
Hey, Roethlisberger did pretty good in his time with the Steelers as well. Maybe he did not get as many rings as the Iron Curtain guys did, but he did pretty well too.
I hope all the young Steeler fans and all the Steeler fans who have never lived in the area take the time to listen to Jack and Myron call at least one game. Thanks for posting this.

Honestly!!!!!!! I REALLY can't imagine being at the first winning super bowl in the Steelers history!?? I mean, technically I could have been,but would not have remembered it!?? Born Feb 73. I would have been in diapers. Lol 🤣. Thank you for posting this 💖🙏👍 amazing!!!! I saw my first game at 3 Rivers stadium in 1978 against Bum Phillips and Earl Campbell's Houston Oilers on a Monday night game.

Highlight of my life was seeing our 6th Lombardi trophy Won in SB 43 in Tampa FL Raymond James stadium with my late father who passed away last year from cancer!!!!! We held hands in the 3rd level,where the pirate ship was when Ben hit Santonio Holmes into triple coverage for the game winning touchdown pass!!!!

He passed away Aug 17,2021 and I haven't been back to a Steelers game since. But, there's always the memories and I'll take them to my Deathbed!!!!!! STEELERS fan FOREVER!!!!!!! 4 Superbowls in 6 YEARS AND No CHEATING!!!!! We should have won 5 in 6 years!!! Statistically their 76 Steelers team were the best EVER!!! Look up the stats!!! Spoiler alert, they had 6 shutouts!!!!! Would have loved to see Pansy boy Tom Shady play against Lambert and Joe Greene and Company!!!!? They would have carried him away off the field on a gurney or a wheelchair!!!!!!!
I was only 7 but remember people losing their minds. I remember going to school the next day and my teacher saying wasn’t sure it was a dream until she woke up that morning.
Tarkenton hall of Fame quarterback deservedly so and I remember hearing this that what the Steelers did was they came with a game plan to block his vision in the passing lanes because they knew he was not the tallest quarterback quarterback brilliant game design if course it doesn't diminish him as a legendary quarterback
Thanks for posting this. I haven't seen it again since it happened. What I recall as a seventh grader at the time was being so confident the Steelers would win a halftime, that I went across the street to play at my friend's house, and didn't come back until half way through the third quarter.
We had an incredible blizzard in South Central Minnesota that weekend. No electricity from Friday afternoon through Sunday. My brother (via snowmobile) drove me to my grandpa's house where they had electricity. Still hurts.
This is great. I had the last quarter and local postgame coverage (along with the early part of SB13) on an audio tape. My grandma set up a tape recorder in front of the TV for my grandpa who had to work in the mines and couldn't watch. Unfortunately, this recording doesn't have my GM screaming and yelling in the background and yapping at the dog to get away from the TV.
This is absolutely fantastic! I always love hearing the odd Steelers highlight set to Jack Fleming's call, but an entire Super Bowl? Holy smokes! Also, how has Cope all but predicting that safety not gotten more attention over the years? I almost fell off my couch when I heard that the first time!
Yes, RIP, Franco. 😪 Good to know I'm not the only one who uses these games to fall asleep. 😂 Something about them just relaxes me. I don't sleep much to begin with, and if I'm having a particularly tough bout of insomnia, these games are the best remedy I've found.
I grew up about 50 miles from Pittsburgh and remember them when they were the lovable loosers. It was so great to see Chuck Noll turn the team around. Back in the day the rest of the afc central had quality teams as well and lots of the losses were to other teams in the division for all the teams. I really believe that games between the afc central teams in that era were pitting better teams against each other than the teams that were in the superbowl.
This 1974 season was Mean Joe Greenes second and last nfl defensive player of year award winning season ,and unfortunately his final top 5 nfl player hierarchy. The debilitating pinched neck nerve injury he suffered in 75 was the reason behind his descension from top 10 elite stratosphere, that also rendered him with minimal usage of his left arm the remainder of his career . He went from a transcended great player into a very good , still arguably best vs the run afterwards,but minimized as a pass rusher after 74 . He routinely picked his spots in big games to channel his original great presence at pass rushing . As dominant as he was as a literal steel curtain defending the run , leadership, intimidating, occupying multiple blockers , he wasnt the incredible complete run ,pas rush combo of his prior first 6 terrifying years . This Steelers sb victory ,anchored by the steel curtain defense led by mean Joe Greene who corralled a int and key goal line fum ,and tormented the vikings blocking schemes intended to neutralize him ,which freed up his front seven mates to only encounter man on man blocking , remember both Jsck Lambert and Andy Russell left the game snd never returned after suffering ,and Dwight White had a severe case of flue that caused him to lose 20 lbs and be hospitalized a week prior to the contest znd return to the hospital afterwards,yet Mean Joe Greenes typical dominant presence kept that defense up right . Poetic justice that Mean Joe Greenes last great season final contest was the Steelers historically dominant performance in a sb 9 victory .Its not coincidental once age and nfl battle attrition finally after 12 seasons overcame mean Joe Greene that the defense finally lost its dominant steel curtain presence.
I'd still take a diminished Mean Joe Green over a 100% Allan Page. Page was a great pass rushing specialist, but was ungodly bad against the run. Page routinely got pushed back like he was on roller skates against the run. Every team the Vikings played in the Super Bowl set a new rushing record thanks largely to Page. Page was a great athlete, but should not have been an interior lineman, he just wasn't strong enough to hold his ground.
Can you believe that i grew up with terry Bradshaw as my commentator as a kid and i never knew he was the Steelers quarterback let alone play professional in the nfl when i found out that 3 months ago it opened my mind so much i was in disbelief how small yet how big the world is im 33 years old
Was this fabulous or what? This was the first time I ever heard this Pittsburgh radio team. My oh my! I've not heard all the great broadcasting duo's over the years, but I'd made the case that these 2 guys were in a league of their own. They had me practically hopping out of my seat in excitement. After that "no call" on Tarkenton when he tossed the ball away, I thought Fleming was going to take leave of his duties in the booth and go down to the sidelines and confront the referee himself. What a display of love and loyalty towards one team. Pittsburgh deserved all their titles over those years; especially with such a supporting cast in the booth. True immortals of the game of football, they will surely remain.
Lifelong Bengals fan, but I really enjoyed and respected Myron Cope (even though he coined the infamous "Bungals" nickname... lol). He created the Terrible Towel, which the money from helps people in need. I can definitely get behind that. Myron was a good man.
Agreed, Myron was amazing. Funny, passionate and entertaining, but I think what made his truly great to listen to were his Pittsburgh roots and his deep understanding of not just the players and organization, but also the fans. You're exactly right, he was a good man.
Vikings officials at the 1975 draft passed on their pick slot to get more time to consider which player to select. Pete Rozelle told the audience, "Minnesota passes" and somebody yelled, "And L. C. Greenwood bats it down!"

A lot of people told me the Vikings had a very good offensive line but they never stood a chance against the Steel Curtain, or even Hank Stram's Chiefs!
At this moment I like to believe Jack Fleming, Myron Cope, and Franco are discussing the Steelers. Jack Fleming and Myron were the best football duo broadcasters ever. Listening to them brings back so many memories. Back then I always wished they could somehow sync with the TV. It was magic.
The Cryboys probably had Super Bowl X banned for you. But seriously, THANK-YOU for posting this. Bill Hillgrove is good, but NO ONE was better than Jack Fleming, especially in his prime. Interesting that he mentioned spotter J. D. Fogarty - he was still doing spotting until just a few years ago. His son is still doing spotting work for the Steeler radio team. And Myron was always Myron. Goodness, I miss him. And how about those stone age graphics on the screen? (I have to say, I like the simplicity of them.) I may watch this clear through next week instead of the Chiefs / Eagles!
Agreed, I truly appreciate Hillgrove. But Fleming, especially paired with Cope, will always be my guy. Thanks for sharing about Fogarty, I didn't realize it was a family affair. Very cool!
That was terrific. Thanks for posting. I hadn't seen this since the original broadcast. (Can someone please explain why Gerela had to re-kick the first extra point when Minnesota was offside?)
Glad you enjoyed it! On Gerela’s PAT, they blew it dead before the kick because a Minnesota player made contact with a Steeler, making it encroachment instead of offsides.
The earlier comments are spot on... I thought I was the only on muting Kurt + the NBC Steeler haters + the Oakland-John Madden cabal. Anyway great dubbing job, hearing Jack + Myron, so many great and hilarious calls/commentaries..... the 70's were definitely the Steeler as D Bowie said those Golden Years... God bless all
Most dominating defensive performance in Super Bowl history. Steelers (greatest defense of all time), held the Vikings to just 119 yards of total offense (17 yards rushing, and 102 yards passing). Not even the 85' Bears dominated the Patriots that much in SB20.

I don't think that people fully grasp how dominant the Steelers defense was on this particular day. The Vikings only score came off a special teams play. Otherwise it could have been the only shut out in Super Bowl history
Yes, very smart, very fundamentally sound player. He was the QB on defense and played a much bigger role in their success than he gets credit for. Rarely out of position and a player who wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Vikings couldnt run a foot and Tarkenton spent the game running for his life.The Steel Curtain killed it on this day.And Myron Cope called it just before the safety giving the Steelers the 2-0 lead😂😊
How about no celebration after every tackle, or sack or incomplete pass, I love it, they are just doing their job and playing football..
well said. same for offense. today every play is a celebration, not to mention the scripted TD dances and turnovers on D. juvenile

At this moment I like to believe Jack Fleming, Myron Cope, and Franco are discussing the Steelers. Jack Fleming and Myron were the best football duo broadcasters ever. Listening to them brings back so many memories. Back then I always wished they could somehow sync with the TV. It was magic.
Freddy "The Foot" Cox became a very successful chiropractor and invented the Nerf Ball!
Good ol days
Traps, traps and more traps. Takes a lot of skill to run those.
The Cryboys probably had Super Bowl X banned for you. But seriously, THANK-YOU for posting this. Bill Hillgrove is good, but NO ONE was better than Jack Fleming, especially in his prime. Interesting that he mentioned spotter J. D. Fogarty - he was still doing spotting until just a few years ago. His son is still doing spotting work for the Steeler radio team. And Myron was always Myron. Goodness, I miss him. And how about those stone age graphics on the screen? (I have to say, I like the simplicity of them.) I may watch this clear through next week instead of the Chiefs / Eagles!
Agreed, I truly appreciate Hillgrove. But Fleming, especially paired with Cope, will always be my guy. Thanks for sharing about Fogarty, I didn't realize it was a family affair. Very cool!
You got that right Cryboys John Banaszak first coined the phrase
as a 19 year old this game is all ready amazing and im not 10 mins into the game
That was terrific. Thanks for posting. I hadn't seen this since the original broadcast. (Can someone please explain why Gerela had to re-kick the first extra point when Minnesota was offside?)
Glad you enjoyed it! On Gerela’s PAT, they blew it dead before the kick because a Minnesota player made contact with a Steeler, making it encroachment instead of offsides.
@@mcmillenandwife Thank you. That explains it!
At least the ref's are keeping it real and consistent. Still bowing calls in 2023!!
Watching all those years that Webster played on special teams even after he was the starting center is just crazy to imagine in todays game.
Love this game
The earlier comments are spot on... I thought I was the only on muting Kurt + the NBC Steeler haters + the Oakland-John Madden cabal. Anyway great dubbing job, hearing Jack + Myron, so many great and hilarious calls/commentaries..... the 70's were definitely the Steeler as D Bowie said those Golden Years... God bless all
49:37 Cope called it.
He sure did. He was pretty excited about it, too! 😂
Most dominating defensive performance in Super Bowl history. Steelers (greatest defense of all time), held the Vikings to just 119 yards of total offense (17 yards rushing, and 102 yards passing). Not even the 85' Bears dominated the Patriots that much in SB20.
STEELERS MAKE IT TOUGH by APOLOGETIX a great football song
Looked like the Vikings griped a lot about the Steelers gang tackling

Steelers 16 - 6 Vikings
If the field wasn't so slippery, I believe the Steelers would of have at least 28 points or better and the Vikings would have the 6. Just my opinion.
Myron Cope was a hoot!
I miss the old commercials 😂😂
I don't think that people fully grasp how dominant the Steelers defense was on this particular day. The Vikings only score came off a special teams play. Otherwise it could have been the only shut out in Super Bowl history
Rip Franco
Mike Wagner gets overlooked on this defense but he's was an absolute beast!!!
Yes, very smart, very fundamentally sound player. He was the QB on defense and played a much bigger role in their success than he gets credit for. Rarely out of position and a player who wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Vikings couldnt run a foot and Tarkenton spent the game running for his life.The Steel Curtain killed it on this day.And Myron Cope called it just before the safety giving the Steelers the 2-0 lead😂😊
The Steelers kicking game was like the keystone cops. Complete defensive domination and they couldn’t execute chip shot FG’s.
