Statistically the greatest single season defense in league history. They still hold the record for fewest points per game allowed in a season.


How bad was the offense to go 7-7 with statistically one of the best defenses of all time?

It is an undisputed fact that the 1976 Steelers gave up more points per game than the 1977 Falcons. Not even trying to stir up a debate or argument, just pointing out that stat because a lot of people don't know that.

The Detroit Lions were the Silver Rush. The 49ers were the Gold Rush. The Green Bay Packers were Pacmen. The Browns were Chocolate Thunder.

I thought the Browns’ unit was the Cleveland Steamers.
