A pair of Miami Dolphin Hall of Famers from the 1970s era - Center Jim Langer and Quarterback Bob Griese. Both started for the 1972 Dolphins, still the only team in NFL History to go undefeated all the way to a Super Bowl victory.

Birthday greetings to Mike Tomczak. I still have his autographed football on display at home.
Happy Birthday to Former #Steelers QB Mike Tomczak
"All the teams I played for were ones rich in tradition. The fan base was knowledgeable. I remember my rookie year playing versus Pittsburgh in the third preseason game. We’re all trying to make the team and I and the offense had a pretty good game. In my mind I was thinking that Pittsburgh wouldn’t be a bad place to play. I was fortunate to end up playing there for seven years."

Having recently been traded to Washington Billy Kilmer found himself facing his old team, the Saints in 1971. Here linebacker Wayne Coleman forces him to reposition himself. At the end of the day though it was a 24-14 Redskins win

When you mess with the Steelers' rookie quarterback, you mess with Jack Lambert.
After Cincinnati's Bo Harris hits Mike Kruczek late out-of-bounds, Lambert sprints the length of the bench to let him know that such antics will not be tolerated.

On October 15, 1899, the Cardinals played their very first game! Known then as the Morgan A.A., the club was composed of local teens led by 18 year-old Chris O'Brien (photo). Behind the rushing of Pat O'Brien, the Morgans beat the Shermans 29-0 and finished with a 6-1-1 mark!

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1974 the Fort Worth Star-Telegram printed this photo of #Steelers "backup" quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Three weeks later Coach Noll would reinstate Bradshaw as the starter and he would go on that season to lead the team to their first Super Bowl victory.

Frank Ryan spent his first 4 seasons in the NFL with the struggling LA Rams. Here is is in 1961 - his last as a Ram playing against the Giants and that's linebacker Tom Scott with lineman Andy Robustelli closing in.
