Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 2895612, member: 1572"] Sorry but you just have no perspective and I would suspect have no familiarity with what went down with the Steelers back in the 1970s. There's a reason why half of that defense is in the HoF. Their defense was off the charts good. They gave up 17 yards rushing on 21 attempts (that's insane) and 102 yards in the air. The Vikings had Chuck Foreman one of the best RBs in the league and Fran Tarkenton another HoFer at QB. Tarkenton was running for his life the entire game. So if Greg Zuerlein makes that chip shot FG late then everything changes because they then gave up six points? LA threw a lazy pick near the end zone and had two other plays in the end zone that should have gone for six. NE should be lauded for a great game plan and excellent execution but you're el loco if u think that defensive performance exceeded what the Steelers did. LA gained nearly 3x the yardage that Minnesota had in SB IX. [/QUOTE]
