The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 70 dynasty was no doubt one of the best in football history. Arguably the best. But to Mel Blount, the best team of that era didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, let alone win one. That honor goes to the ’76 Steelers, who boasted as dominant a stretch as the NFL has or will ever see.
Blount sat down for a fantastic, half-hour interview with Stan Savran. The entire conversation is worth checking out and I’ll again link it at the end of this post.
“To me, that was the best team that I played on in Pittsburgh,” Blount said.
