    Very interesting point about the '77 Atlanta Falcons defense - I'll bet no one knew about those statistics, at least not off-the-cuff. As a fan of the Steelers, I definitely agree with your top billing of their '70's defense.

    Great list!The 70’s was a great era of football. I’m from Philly and a lifelong Eagles fan. Unfortunately, the only notoriety we got in the early 70’s was that we were on other teams highlight films as they scored against us or sacked our quarterbacks. Dick Vermeil came and turned us around. That might be a good idea for a video, greatest turnarounds?

      yeah, maybe. Or greatest coaches. I think that Vermeil would rank well.

    It was really fun getting to hear about the 70’s defense! Amazing story about the Falcons! Too bad they didn’t have a decent offense to go with it. And what a run by the Steel Curtain! Holy cow!🏈

    I know this video is about the 70's, but Jim Brown commented on how Larry Wilson of the St.Louis Cardinals was always a thorn in his side.

    The 1977 season was the last of the "dead ball era" and had the lowest points scored per team since 1942. So while the Falcons defense was pretty good that season, their stats aligned with league trends.
