Since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the NFL in 1976, the Pittsburgh Steelers overall have overshadowed their rivals by 9-2. Of the four contests played in Pittsburgh, the Steelers have only lost one and that was a 27-24 defeat in 2014.
At one point during that loss, Ben Roethlisberger completed 14 consecutive passes (his record is 16) and overall completed 29 for 314 yards with 3 touchdowns, but it was a Tampa last minute touchdown that took the win.
Following two consecutive Super Bowl winning seasons, in 1976 the Steelers were looking forward to make it a third.
