Steelers Quiet Colts, 13-0

Jack Ham recorded 2 sacks against the Colts.


The 1965 Baltimore Colts' offense sputtered at the wrong times against the 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers' "Steel Curtain" of a defense.

Johnny Unitas put up a pedestrian 74.1 QB rating of a performance, completing  18 of 34 passes for 228 yards passing, while the O-Line could not protect Unitas (5 sacks). Terry Bradshaw (115 yards passing) had a similar game (72.9 QB rating), but improved mightily compared to last week's 3 interception performance.

Rocky Bleier (17-78) led the Steelers' rushing attack, as the team combined for 39 carries for 153 yards on the ground. The Colts' rushing was less effective (16-57) & could not compliment the passing game, to give the Colts a better offensive flow.

What's Next?

  • 1965 Baltimore Colts (1-1) @ 1999 St. Louis Rams (1-0)
  • 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) @ 2015 Arizona Cardinals (2-0)
