The Pittsburgh Steelers won four Super Bowls in the 1970s. But the first is always the sweetest. And even nearly 50 years since the Steelers knocked off the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IX, Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Ham is shocked by the Vikings’ gameplan. Their strategy essentially amounted to running into a brick wall for four quarters, limited to just six points in a 16-6 Steelers’ victory.
Appearing on 93.7 The Fan’s Cook and Joe Show Thursday morning, Ham recalls having to do little that day. The defensive line did all the heavy lifting.
