Game Summary

The Los Angeles Rams took a 19-17 lead early in the third quarter and held onto it for almost 15 minutes. But Terry Bradshaw's 73-yard touchdown pass to John Stallworth put the Steelers ahead to stay and Franco Harris's 1-yard TD, set up by a 45-yard pass to Stallworth, put the game out of reach. Bradshaw survived three interceptions to win his second straight MVP award.
