NBC Sports: NFL 1977- AFC Divisional- Pittsburgh Steelers @ Denver Broncos: 2nd Quarter


Source:NBC Sports- coverage of the 1977 AFC Divisional between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos.

"This is joined in progress as the Ghost in the Post was an OT game.  This was the biggest game in Denver Bronco's franchise history at the time." 

From Classic Sports

If you look at the the two teams, I think even Denver Broncos fans would say (at least under oath and when they're sober) that the Pittsburgh Steelers had a better team than they did, especially offensively, but defensively as well. I mean just look at the two squads, the personal, the QB, the backfields, the receivers, and the careers that these players had. 

But the Broncos lived off of mistakes that their opponents made and mistakes that they forced their opponents to make and they took advantage of all of them, at least in 1977. They beat two far and superior teams just to get to the Super Bowl in 1977. They beat the Steelers and in divisional and then later the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Championship. But then they play Tom Landry and his Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl and the Cowboys were ready for them and dominated them in that Super Bowl.
