During the decade of the 1970s, the Steelers won 4 Super Bowls in 6 years, winning back-to-back Super Bowls twice-Super Bowl IX, X, XIII and XIV. It was an unprecedented achievement; the Steelers became the organization every other organization wanted to emulate.
The Steelers won said Super Bowls on a pretty basic game plan: A “ground and pound” running game with passes sprinkled in for good measure and a suffocating defense. The Steelers also drafted exceptionally well during those Super Bowl winning years, particularly with respect to drafting players from ‘small school’ programs, but have the Steelers ignored the formula that brought the city of Pittsburgh 4 Lombardi trophies in 6 years?
