I’m a lifelong Raiders fan. I was just thinking about that game the other day, when the topic was brought-up; but, some of the most memorable games, ever, were played between the Steelers and the Raiders (in my humble opinion).

Those were some classic games, and it was one of the most intense rivalries during the 1970s.

Both played the same style of smashmouth defense, to the point Shula and the rules committee changed the rules. I still find it funny that Pittsburgh and Oakland won Superbowls despite the rule changes, and Shula’s Dolphins did not.
