I live not too far from Pittsburgh, so I remember watching some of this game, but I watched a lot more of the Eagles@Cowboys game (Philly could clinch the East with a win and a Giant loss).74_75_78_79_ wrote:Wouldn't call it a memorable/standout game between the two, but their '88 finale at Three Rivers has some notables. It would be Mike Webster's final game as a Steeler. A sad reminder that two teams/head coaches, once powerhouses, were now respective division cellar-dwellers. Landry's Cowboys played at Noll's Steelers in the '88 opener, sadly were both on the cover of SI ('Under Fire') shortly after for notorious reasons. Shula was also mentioned in the cover story.
The Dolphin@Steeler game would have been way more memorable if it was the last games for Noll and Shula (their firings could have been justified at the time).
