Of course the steel curtain had something to do with it, but Bradshaw was one of the best quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era and he was instrumental in bringing four rings to Pittsburgh.
Playing in an era that would be described as brutal and gladiator-esque by today’s standards, Bradshaw still managed to put up some impressive passing numbers.
For his career Bradshaw appeared in 168 games, winning 107 of them. He threw a little over two thousand passes for 27,898 total yards and 212 touchdowns. He also averaged 7.2 yards per pass attempt and his cumulative quarterback rating was 70.
