Way back in the 1970s, the Steelers’ final preseason game was a lot more like the regular season than it is today. The idea back then was that the last exhibition game was the final tune-up for your team to round itself into fighting shape for the grueling season ahead. Typically in those days, the starting QB would play a good portion of the game, and sometimes even more. For that reason, the starting offensive line also would play a substantial portion of the game — enough to keep the starting QB in one piece and also to make sure they had their intricate-but-brutal choreography well honed for Opening Day.
