The 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers season was the team's 44th season in the National Football League (NFL). The Steelers finished the regular season with a 10-4 record, which was good enough to win the AFC Central Division. In the playoffs, they defeated the Baltimore Colts in the divisional round and the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Championship game to advance to Super Bowl X.
In Super Bowl X, the Steelers faced off against the Dallas Cowboys in a rematch of Super Bowl XIII. The game was held at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida on January 18, 1976. The Steelers emerged victorious with a score of 21-17, earning their second Super Bowl title in team history.
The 1976 Steelers team was known for their dominant defense, which was nicknamed the "Steel Curtain." Led by players such as Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood, and Jack Ham, the Steel Curtain allowed just 138 points throughout the regular season, the fewest of any team in the NFL that year. On offense, the team was led by quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who threw for 2,523 yards and 15 touchdowns during the regular season.
The 1976 Steelers season is remembered as one of the most successful in franchise history. The team won their second Super Bowl title, solidifying their status as one of the top teams in the NFL at the time. The defense was particularly noteworthy, as it helped to set the standard for what would become one of the most dominant defensive units in NFL history.
