When I was a kid the Pittsburgh Steelers were my second favorite team – my favorite of course being the Baltimore Colts.
In 1972, the Colts struggled, finishing with a (5-9) record. Johnny Unitas was a broken player and his backup Marty Domres made absolutely no one forget about Earl Morrall. So it was easy to root for a Steelers team that fielded several up and coming players, one of which was Franco Harris.
The Colts season ended on December 16 after a 16-0 loss to Morrall and the Dolphins, the last regular season win during Miami’s perfect (17-0) season.
