Steelers, and Thomson?s Iron Men became the Eagles. This deal was one of the most<br />
unusual swaps in football history.<br />
World War II had a big impact on the NFL. The Steelers decided to draft many<br />
married players, hoping that they wouldn?t be drafted for the military. During this time,<br />
the Steelers also went through a couple of head coaches. The team still had a losing<br />
streak, and they weren?t looking too good. Although the Steelers tried, the team still<br />
lost some key players to the military. The next few years for the Steelers had lots of<br />
ups and downs.<br />
Then, the Steelers finished first in the league but lost in the playoffs to the Miami<br />
Dolphins in 1973. This was still a great game because of the close score and high<br />
intensity of the game. In 1974, the Steelers won their first Super Bowl against the<br />
Minnesota Vikings. The score was 16-6. After 42 years, they finally did it! The next year,<br />
they did it again and had an even better season, ending with another Super Bowl win<br />
against the Dallas Cowboys in a tight game that ended 21-17. The Steelers didn?t make<br />
the playoffs for two years until 1978 when they won their third Super Bowl. This game<br />
was against the Dallas Cowboys and ended with a score of 35-31. The following year,<br />
they won their fourth Super Bowl in 1979 against the Los Angeles Rams. The game<br />
ended with a score of 31-19. The Steelers were in decline and the next time they made<br />
a Super Bowl appearance wasn't until 1995. However, they lost this game to the Dallas<br />
Cowboys with a score of 27-17. Up until this point, all of the Steelers games have been<br />
at Three Rivers Stadium. The 2000 season was their last season playing there.<br />
In 2001, they opened the stadium we know and love today, Heinz Field. The next<br />
few seasons were rough until 2005 when the Steelers made another Super Bowl<br />
appearance. The game was great and the Steelers pulled out a win against the<br />
Seahawks with a score of 21-10. This Super Bowl tied the Steelers for most Super Bowl<br />
titles at 5 with the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers didn't<br />
make another Super Bowl appearance until three years later in 2008. The Steelers<br />
faced the Arizona Cardinals. It was a great fought game, ending in a Steeler win to<br />
become the first team ever to win six Super Bowl titles. The Steelers have not won any<br />
more Super Bowls since 2008, but keep rooting for your hometown Pittsburgh<br />
Steelers.<br />
