NFL Game of the Week

Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots, 1974 (10x13)

: 14, 1974

The Steelers and Patriots ended their 1974 season in marked contrast to the way they began. New England had suffered too many costly injuries, which helped bury their 5-0 start. When they hosted Pittsburgh on December 8, the Patriots were lucky to keep the game as close as they did. When the game ended and the Steelers had their 21-17 win, the entire AFC playoff ranking was set.
