The afc's powerhouses of the 70s. Can't get quite better than this
Really of the NFL as a whole. Whoever won these AFC Championships went on to dominate in their Super Bowls.
The only NFC team that had a 'snowball's chance in heck' was Dallas.
Dont forget Miami.
Not to mention the Miami Dolphins!!!!🏈🏈
@@CapeFear1 True!!!
That was quite the decade for NFL. Great matchups, amazing dynasties (Steel Curtain), hilarious misery (Vikings), but most importantly… actual football.
@@QuiltHoncho What I mean by actual football is the Officiating wasn’t ruining games and screwing teams over. Oh and I first started watching football in *2008.*
I still enjoy today’s football regardless, and I wasn’t even complaining. So chill out.
@@QuiltHoncho Like defying the law of gravity when you land on the QB??
No one ever thought there would be something stupid like a black national anthem....
Absolutely true!!!! Football was fun to watch back then!!!! Not now!!!!
Watching football in the late 60s and 70s as a kid was truly a Golden age.
AFC Central was a dogfight year after year. The Wild card usually came out of that division.
This took place the year before Madden finally got a ring and then became what we all know him to be the greatest NFL color analyst of all time
Madden had to wait until 2006 to finally be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame
@@JamesGrinstead He is a true football legend
Until Tony Romo
@@jefflouis3113 Nah, Romo can't touch Madden.
"Boom! Whap! Bang! Doink!"
I remember watching this game on my grandfather's TV. A seven year old boy was reborn.
Raider fan for life.
THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS VIDEO ON TH-cam .I REMEMBER THIS BRUTAL. RIVALRY . I HAVE BEEN A STEELER FAN FOR 46 YRS BUT I RESPECTED THE RAIDERS RIP TO KENNY THE SNAKE STABLER.
Hard to Believe this game was 47 Years Ago. I remember watching this game as a 11 Year old. RIP Mr Franco Harris.
Coke tabs for jerseys"Hey kid."
Same here. I was 11 years and 2 and a half months old when this game took place.
Big respect to Franco from a UK Raider fan, this game was full of mistakes uncharacteristic of player of this calibre.
Steelers should bring back these older
Uniforms..with the large numbers... the ones they use now. Dont really like them.
In all honesty..
I was 11 also..5/29/ 64..
70s raiders were a thing of beauty
Jack Lambert was such an animal. One of the greatest players to ever wear the black and gold.
One word describes him. Awesome!!!! And I’m not even a Steeler fan
@@thefrase7884 and even awesomener that after his football career ended, he had a second career as a Game Warden!!
@@montanaelkwhisperer1744wtf? I did not know that !!!
This is awesome footage, I watched this game when I was 11 years old, I just remember that icy field.
Two great teams. Would love to see this game in its entirety
That Pete Banezak fumble after the Raiders recovered a muffed punt was the play of the game. The Raiders failed to capitalize on all those Steelers mistakes and couldn't score. The first game I remember watching was the Sea of Hands game, became a Raider fan for life after that. Was crying after the '74 championship, and was equally disappointed in '75. Those games between the Raiders and Steelers were so intense, so brutally violent.
@0768mpu Steeler fan here. Much respect for the Raiders and hope the two teams get back to that level soon. Then we can start seeing games like this again between you guys again!
@0668mpu Sorry for the name misspelling, Raider Nation!😉
They had some brutal games ....the Steelers were the one team who would never back down to raiders
I watched this game with my Step-Dad (finally lost him to Agent Orange poisoning about three years ago)
These were my two favorite teams in the '70s, and this is still one of my all-time favorite games.
Hoping someone posts the entire game, including the commercials.
Can’t wait for this weekend! Gonna be a really interesting and hard game!
This was real football. No roughing the passer flags, no targeting, no down by contact. I liked this video.
When football was really football…players played for the love of the game and they were proud to be Americans!!!
How many fumbles, interceptions, and dropped passes were there again?
True!!!!
@Sludge did you actually see the conditions that this game was played in? Today, they would never have even attempted it. Probably a good thing.
That old artificial turf combined with the icy conditions...yikes. That's a torn ACL waiting to happen.
But torn acl's weren't common bak then. That's the funny part
Typical Steeler-Raider slug fest of the time...Two teams that hated each other. Brutal conditions...Called by Curt Gowdy, Don Meredith,and Al DeRogatis... What's not to like? An overlooked classic game from the mid-70"s. Plenty of future Hall of Famers out there. Really miss that era... Thanks so much for posting this....
For true experience, set video to 140p
I think u mean 144p
🤣
Back during this time, you almost never heard anyone talk about Mike Siani. But he made some big grabs during the playoffs for Oakland, during this game, and the two years prior. Just watch how he works in this contest. I'm not saying he was a great WR, by any means. But he definitely had skill to get open, and could catch the football. In any conditions. This is fun to watch. I remember watching this game, and got fired up for a split second on Branch's catch at the end.
Siani was a 1st round draft choice and started his first two seasons. He was bumped from starting by Cliff Branch. He was very reminiscent to Bob Chandler
I remember Chandler. @@howardcosell2022
Thank you for showing VIDEO TAPE from the actual broadcast. Much better than the theatrical NFL Films.
Back in the good old days. The Steelers and Raiders hated each other. This was a true rivalry!!
With all the turnovers in this game, not once did I see the entire defense run to the end zone to pose for a picture!
😂😂😂
There were some epic battles in the 70s: the AFC was by far the dominant conference. Miami, Oakland, and, Pittsburgh, of course
First time watching clips this old, I usually only go back to the 90s. It’s crazy to see the same game played so differently
Geez, nobody wanted to hang on to the ball in this game.
Unbelievable how Terry Bradshaw was able to ride the Steel Curtain to FOUR Super Bowl victories.
I know Right!!!🏈🏈🏈🏈
Do you mean TWO time Super Bowl MVP Terry Bradshaw?
@@jmack8640 he was huge in 2 games but watch his throws in this game clip. Some of those throws were so off he’d be cut the next week.
Awesome game. Thanks bud 🤜🏻🤛🏻
The best game between these two teams was opening day 1976, the next year in Oakland, worth checking out
31-28 Raiders.
These were the games that made the NFL great. Now, we have a bunch of clowns who celebrate after every play.
TV ratings are sky high this year!!! The public loves today’s game. 🤪🤪
A great old-school cold weather game. So many turnovers. I love watching Ken Stabler !
I wish I could have watched the whole video but after the second unskippable ad that was it for me
great game and it's funny not to see the score and the clock on the screen all the time like in todays game haha :)
We lost the great RayGuy he's kicking punts n heaven right now RIP
Yes sir! Truly the best football ever. 👍🏈🏉
smh 🤦♂️ How many fumbles were there?
RIP Franco.
I can only imagine how horrible that astro turf was to play professional tackle football on in east coast winter conditions. You might as well be playing in a parking lot.
The turf in the stadium that day was like playing on asphalt!!! No heated field that day! Greg
I was at this game at 7years old. Spent most of the 2nd half trying to stay warm in the mens room . I wish i would have stayed home !!
Brutal football under brutal conditions, the 70s was the height of NFL football
The Steelers have long said that the only team they feared at this time was Oakland
@Mr. MERCEDES 95 Miami was the force in The AFC earlier in that decade. The Dolphins made three straight Super Bowls. People forget they went into Pittsburgh in 72 and won the AFC championship game
@Mr. MERCEDES 95 I did. No it wouldn’t have. Pittsburgh was maturing and Oakland was strong as well. Hate to break it to you
@Mr. MERCEDES 95 if warfield, kick and czonka had not left in 75 it would have been interesting. They tied the colts for the division but lost the tiebreaker even without them.
@Mr. MERCEDES 95 i think if Bill Arnsbarger the defensive coach hadnt left in 74' the dolphins would have won 1 more.
When football was real 🏈🏈🏈 that's my team the steelers 👍👍👍
70's had the best announcers. Gowdy, Scully,Buck,Summerall, Gifford etc. Always prepared and painted word pictures even though you saw it.
the rivalries from the 1970s aka back before the corporations began taking over and renaming all of the stadiums: raiders/steelers... cowboys/redskins... steelers/cowboys. i had no idea that how special that all was
This game is reminiscent of the Ice Bowl.
Fumblefest '75!
Should've uploaded Raiders vs Steelers from 2002.
As you watch this don't forget that frozen astro turf out there was like playing on a frozen parking lot. Just brutal conditions
Los Angeles Raiders beat Pittsburgh Steelers 1983 AFC divisional playoffs that cost quarterback Terry Bradshaw career was over 🏈
Almost. Terry's last game was week 15 against the Jets. He started the game and threw for two touchdowns, including his final pass to Calvin Sweeney, when he felt a pop in his arm, and that was it.
@@rongamble8930 Terry Bradshaw begins career at CBS from play-by-play announcer to pregame co-host with Greg Gumbel NFL today in 1990

the clarence davis big drop in the second quarter and pete banazsak's "BIZARRE FUMBLE" inside the steeler 20 yard line was an omen for the raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
still, the steelers had 8 turnovers, raiders 5, and there could have been even more
@@JIM87ification true
The Steelers defense played great but got to tip your hat to Terry Bradshaw. He had a heckuva game especially in those conditions
This was a little before my time. I'm amazed that both teams threw the ball as much as they did in those conditions. This was one wacky game. Turnovers back and forth. Definitely entertaining though.
How does a team win with seven turnovers?!?!?! The defense was incredible
The Raiders under Madden had to compete with great Dolphins and Steelers teams. That's why they only won one Super Bowl before Tom Flores took over.
Don't forget the Rob Lytle fumble in the AFC Title game in Denver in 1977....Miami lost a lot of players to the WFL after the 74 season, they probably would have had more Super Bowls had that not happened
Those Steelers and Raiders teams would dominate in today's era of flag football
This is the game where before it started Commishioner Pete Rozelle was standing on the sidelines with Al Davis and were chatting about the crappy way the Steelers groundscrew managed the astroturf overnight. It was like an ice rink outside the hashmarks possibly nulifying the Raiders hi flying verticle game especially wide reviever Cliff Branch. and taking him out of the game. Rozelle told Davis " Well its fair for both teams" Davis fumed and infamously replied " Dammit Pete, you don't know what you're talking about. It's NOT fair for both teams!". Davis had a point. The frozen sidelines would take away the long verticle strategy the Raiders loved to utilize and Steelers would take advantage of it. In hindsight the game should've been postponed until the field was in tip top condition.
Touchdown Raiders! Cliff Branch sulking: "Man I was wide open AGAIN." 18:01
All football after the 1978 rules changes is BS. The offense was handed an overwhelming advantage and it has only gotten worse because of the big money qbs get. This is how the game was meant to be played and you will never see this again.The youngsters do not know!
I question the maturity level of all these armchair warriors doing 12 ounce curls while whining that today’s warriors aren’t “real” men.
Mike Webster used to use some type of stun gun so he could get a little sleep.
It broke my heart to see Gale Sayers practically brain dead in his later years.
Ever see Jim Otto in his later years?
As a die-hard Steeler fan, I do believe the world was robbed of a Raiders-Cowboys Super Bowl. Just imagine... 🤔
Terry Bradshaw is my top 7 best NFL quarterback
stabler was much better
Turnover Trouble in Pittsburgh
This is what the NFL doesn't want anymore. Almost every team has a retractable roof so they don't have to play in bad weather and don't have to worry about too many turnovers that are caused by that bad weather.
Yeah ...the NFL doesn't want REAL football anymore
32 NFL teams only 5 retractable roofs
Jack Tatum was a beast
What a crazy game but damn entertaining
These old artificial turf fields were horrible. Riverfront stadium where the Bengals played would have frozen ponds on the surface that caused burns on bare skin. The water does not drain properly and cold and win cases it to freeze.
Wow that hit Atkinson put on Swann was brutal.
I wish Branch got out of bounds on that last play. What an ending that would've been.
Even if he could have gotten out of bounds with one or two seconds left, it would have taken an hour to clear the fans off the field for a final play ...
Overnight the tarp mysteriously blew off the field around the sidelines. Al Davis was convinced the Steelers allowed it on purpose to neutralize the Raiders wide open passing game.deep sideline patterns. Notice how frozen the field is around the sidelines
is it just me or did these offenses back in the day seem a bit “slower”? not that it’s a bad thing I was just wondering
This was a time when the offensive linemen couldn’t extend their arms to block and the defensive backs could knock the receiver around all the way down the field. Rules were geared more to the defense. That and the turf was frozen in many spots and these were the best defenses around
@@toddharms4740 👍👍
For such iconic teams, i was not expecting so many turnovers
the weather. No high tech gloves back then.
The incredible catches the receivers made during the pre gloves era makes me wonder how much different their receiving stats would be if they were wearing those high tech gloves of today.
@@marcuswilliams6840 what is ironic is that some of their stats were better back then, which is almost inexplicable -- for example Cliff Branch averaged 24.2 average per catch in 1976, despite strict defensive rules that really prevented WRs from separation like they have today. It is just diffrent now -- across the board.
Ken Stabler through some dangerous passes in high traffic.
Wow at all the turnovers!
Steelers' Wagner and Raiders' Tatum each had two interceptions....
Piles of fumbles and blocked kicks... great stuff
At 2:16 watch Swann sacrifice himself on that tackle on Tatum... Causes a fumble too!
Wow 😲!
Wow - the turn over bowl!
In 1975 the Steelers had to play almost flawless football just to win the division!
14:40 today a replay call that would take 10 min debated between the announcers and an official would have been he didn't make a "Football Move" before he fumbled the ball lol
The Raiders had a most dangerous pesky tough Team in the 1970's it is baffling that they didn't win at least 3 Super Bowls in the 1970's instead of only one.
I was a kid then. Didn’t understand the game that much. Unbelievable, how many turnovers! …..3-0 after 3 qtrs!
My man Franco was juking guys out of their shoes!
This was one of the greatest rivalries in NFL history.
If not, it was the best. I’ll tell you one thing. It was definitely the most physical rivalry.
@@peterferraiolo4071 yes it was, they were clobbering every one in sight, especially Jack Tatum n Lambert
@@jaycompany4886 Also, when you see players like Swann and Bradshaw leaving the field like the way they did, you know it’s a rough game.
@@jaycompany4886 Also Atkinson, Blount, Villapiano, and Glen Edwards
You’re right about that!!!!
This is one of the great, unrecognized NFL games of all time. As a kid and a die-hard Raider fan, this was a tough loss. Even now, though, I appreciate what an incredible battle this was. Two outstanding, physical teams with a great deal of mutual dislike beating the tar out of each other on a frozen field in sub-zero wind chill and a Super Bowl berth on the line. Truly a man's game out there that day.
I agree....i was 11 then but, i loved the raiders....the following yr the raiders destroyed the vikes to win the SB...alot of characters on those 70 raider teams, starting with their head coach madden
@@jaycompany4886 yes and the Raiders should have won the AFC Championship in 1977 except the blind refs didn't see the fumble caused by Jack Tatum's harsh hit that knocked out the running back Rob Lytle. They would have played Dallas in the 1977 Super Bowl which would have been a great game.
If you are a Raider fan there are two little known facts about this game that would end an era for the Raiders. The first was this was the last game John Madden would wear a necktie as a coach. After this Madden would wear a more casual look. The second is this is the last game Stabler would hold for placekicks. The Raider would bring in a backup Quarterback who was also left handed named David Humm who would take over the holding duties and for the rest of his career Stabler would not have to do that.
Ok, die hard. I'm the only one picking up the Raider hate from the announcers? Subtle, but definitely present.
I’m a Texan, but since the days of Daryl Lamonica and George Bland, a die-hard Raider for life!!
Honestly, seeing all these primitive camera graphics actually feels good for some reason. It's weird, I wasn't even alive then, but it just feels nostalgic.
it's better then Black & white 😅🤣😂
Because it was much more about the game then, without all the shiny balls and commercial glitz.. ie; crap.
Video tape, even those of poor quality or black & white, always have that "live" quality to them.
I was 15 yo in 1975 and I sure miss these days..the 2000' suck.
@@MisterMasterShafter1 It was a better game then, they actually played defense. Now days the NFL has turned in to touch football and NBA fast break offense.
This Steelers defense was so unbelievably good
Its intreaging to see this game from 1975, and then compare it to last Sunday's game in 2021.
More defense then before all the rule changes
Since the merger until now , the steelers are just that team 🏈
The Oakland D was not too shabby either back then. Arguably the most fearsome secondary of the 70s. Tatum and Atkinson were beasts.
@James Jones one of the most overated QBs ever. And a real jack ass.
For those old enough to remember those Raiders vs Steeler games were war. They were the first 2 teams to meet 5 straight years in the playoffs. If I told people the number of Hall of Famers from these two teams that met repeadily, people wouldn't believe it. These two teams were so good, there were *12* turnovers and the two teams combined for only 26 points.
Just think that the Raiders QB TE 2 WR and 3 OL are HOF..Pitt had QB RB 2 WR and C in Canton.
Oak D had 1 CB 1 LB and Pitt had 2 LB 1S and 1 CB and 1 DL
Oak have K and P in HOF
And the 2 coaches are top 10 and both in hall.
When they played, it was respect personified!
Yes, we can add 16 and 10
5 straight times in the playoffs with the winner of the last 3 winning the super bowl
They need a 30 for 30 on this amazing rivalry. Oakland outplayed Pittsburgh in more than one. Oakland was considered an under achieving team by some.
@@ltjjenkins, look at it this way, Under John Madden's 10 years coaching at that time the Raiders played in 7 AFC Championship games. In the 6 losses only Denver(and the Raiders got jobbed in the game. They would've repeated)didn't win the Superbowl, all the other teams they lost too in those games won the Superbowl. I don't think losing to the eventual Superbowl champs on 6 different occasions is underachieving. The Raiders lost to some great teams during that stretch.
Just listening to these names......Tatum, Atkinson, Hubbard, Stabler, Hamm, Swan, Bradshaw, Harris, Chuck Knoll, John Madden!!!! Just awesome! GOD? Can I please go back to 1975?
And oh by the way I forgot to mention Jack Lambert lol
There’s a commercial in about lawyers in Raleigh.:::
Tatum and Atkinson, we’re the heavy hitters.
I think the Raiders can sue them.
Branch, Biletnikoff, Casper, Swann and Stallworth.
The Snake, the Mad Stork, the Ghost, Mean Joe, and Arrowhead.
Now we know why they were great.
Yeap, good times
And Highway 63 Gene Upshaw. The Greatest Raider of them all!
God!! I miss those days! What a rivalry those 2 teams were! It seems like every year it was the Steelers and Raiders in the playoffs. Thank you for posting this! It was awesome to see even though I hated the outcome. Seeing the Snake and the Ghost connect again was really special! Wasn’t this the game that coach Knoll called the Raiders secondary a bunch of convicts? He was very upset about Swann getting knocked out. It might have been the following year! Lol 😂 if that game were played today, there would be a penalty flag on every play! That’s when football was at its best! Great years!
Knoll called them that after the '76 opener when Atkinson knocked Swann out again and Swann didn't even have the ball.
Frozen Rivers Stadium.
The Steelers and, excuse me as I go into my John Facenda voice, Oakland Raidas.
Yes, indeed. Football as it was meant to be played.
Go Steelers 🔶♦️🔷🖤💛
criminal element
Ray Guy is one of the best to ever do it every one of his punts shown impacted the game crazy
He hit the roof in the Super Dome once too! Had a hell of a leg.
@@luvlethr that’s insane! Never knew that lol
Best punter ever.
The man had a leg of steel, boy could he punt so high and so long
Still the only punter to be a number one draft pick.
As a kid I lived for these legendary AFC playoff games. Classic rivalry
Is just me or did football look more physical back then all those turnovers and hits
Football now might as well be flagged football.
Less rules.
i understand why they’ve made all these rules geared towards safety, but i still miss the older style with defenses actually being allowed to play defense...
Noticed that too ... much more dynamic (and violent) back in the day
NO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY FING RIGHT IT'S A VIOLENT GAME AND YOU NEW THAT GOING IN NIT THIS BS OF TODAY!!!!!! BACK WHEN IF YOU WERE SCARED STAY ON THE PORCH!!!!!!
I'm almost sixty and I remember these games like it was yesterday watching them with my dad. Man those guys were so tough back then. Thank you for posting.
I’m 61 , same
So I'm 60.....can we all agree we had heart surgery? , I played hockey till 43, heart attack at 49.....still blame the Raiders
@@rileyjackfansmithandjones8238 Watching the Raiders now days is going to give me a heart attack.
Steelers/Raiders in the 1970's was Real Football. Back when Men were Men and Women were glad that they Were!
Yeah, not like today...when a player scores n waves bye bye, back in day do something like that....next time they see you're the one who's going bye bye, after a Jack Tatum hit.
Amen brother
And us little boys at the time grew up to be the masculine men we are today; and I have no desire to be a woman!!
What normal men should think like. 👍
There have been far too many raised the wrong ways since this game took place. I am fortunate I was not. 🙏
Yeah girls was girls and men were men 🎼
Now this is OLD SKOOL! It's before my time but as someone that appreciates history (and I was born in '79 so not TOO far behind my time) I really love this kind of stuff. This is what the young ones gotta see to learn the real history of the NFL. Great stuff here!
Amen, it's nice to watch a REAL football game and not see penalties for sneezing on the quarterback or the ticky tack interference penalties too. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful comment. I'd like to urge all TH-cam users to explore our past. I'm doing it with music.
True that
Robert R Moore Esq. "Mr. Lambert I suspect you're going to make contact with me after the play is whistled dead. And with flagrant mal intent. Which WILL be caught on camera. As a lawyer I strongly advise you to reconsider. I'm sure you'll do the right thing." 11:17
Players in those days never carried on with stupid antics after they made a good tackle or sack or touchdown or interception
You’re right about that!!!!
The 70's was the decade in which players were promoting themselves with TD endzone celebrations ,celebratory motions after a good defensive play , the 70's ushered in a era in which the late baby boomers were eager to separate from various culture mandates of the previous silent generation. Every sport was populated with a fresh improv from it's younger late baby boomer brigade that challenged the old guards unwritten regulations rule of thumb . From uniform attire ,white shoes , gestures like ball spikes hi five ,dance routines , peace signs , mugging for the television camera inthe sign line ,the 70's were filled with game time extracurricular cantor by players . You can observe those actions on practically many 1970's decade teams season high lites .
back when it was still a mans game- falling on that that field has gotta feel like falling on cold concrete..
Put some dirt on that wound
Youll be fine
Pop that blister

Back when football was football. Jack Lambert recovered the fumble like it was no big deal. He just got up and started running to the sideline. No running into the end zone doing stupid antics and showing off.
Couldn’t agree more
lol old men on the porch yelling for kids to get off the lawn type of dude right here

@@kennycarlson9654 Dallas had the best QB but Oakland had HOF’s Art Shell and Gene Upshaw at Tackle/Guard. Both are widely considered their best duo in Raiders history.
@@chadanderson9872 In 1975 Jim Otto retired after starting 210 consecutive games at Center, 1960-1974, so the Raiders had THREE Hall Of Fame offensive linemen in the 70's. How many HOF offensive linemen did Dallas have in the 70's besides Rayfield Wright? NONE! Mike Webster was a rookie for Pittsburgh in 1976 but he wasn't Pro Bowl caliber until 1978 so the Steelers 70's offensive line ranks 4th best of the 1970's,
1. Oakland, 2. Miami, 3. Dallas, 4. Pittsburgh.
Pitts' D line won that battle multiple times.
You are so right!!! They hated each other there was no ands, if’s, or buts about it!!! The way football was supposed to be played!!!! Now you can’t even look at a QB!!!!!
Tell me again how Jack Tatum was just a "thug", played dirty and all the bullshit, the man was a DAMN GOOD Safety, he picked off 2 Bradshaw passes in this game!
Yes, I thought the same thing. He was technically sound in this game and proved to be a lot more than just a hard-hitter.
@@danieljones8876 Most people fail to realize Jack Tatum was a Ballhawk and not a headhunter, in a 1972 regular season game against Green Bay he returned a fumble 104 yards for a TD to set the NFL record, Aeneas Williams tied Tatum's record in 2000.
He was a thug when he played Pittsburgh . Knocked out Swann in this game with a concussion . But he played the next Sunday in super bowl and caught two iconic catches and was named mvp of super bowl. Balls !

I loved George Blanda and one of my greatest memories is that I got to see him play in person, but he did NOT play in 26 consecutive years, he played in a total of 26 seasons, he did not play in 1959, he had retired. He played in 10 consecutive years from 1949-1958, retired and then he came back to play in 16 consecutive years from 1960-1975.

Nice last minute for the Raiders. Needed one more play !
Keep producing these classics from the '70s. Thanks a lot.
