When it came to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s, they didn’t squander opportunity. When they went to Super Bowls, they won them. A perfect four-for-four as they built a dynasty. Every legendary team starts somewhere, and for the Steelers, it began with Super Bowl IX, a 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
On the other end of the result was Vikings QB Fran Tarkenton, a Hall of Famer who never won a Super Bowl. He joined Paul Allen on Minnesota’s KFAN to briefly remember the loss.
“I know this, we never were in the game,” Tarkenton told Allen.
