When Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers dominated the Rams in Super Bowl XIV

Super Bowl XIV was played on January 20, 1980, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Pittsburgh Steelers, champions of the AFC, faced off against the Los Angeles Rams, champions of the NFC.

On the way to reaching Super Bowl XIV, the Steelers had another strong regular season, finishing with a record of 12-4. They won their division and then defeated the Houston Oilers and the Miami Dolphins in the playoffs to advance to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row.

Quarterback Terry Bradshaw and running back Franco Harris led the team, and the defense was once again one of the best in the league.

Overall, this was a game that featured the dominant Steelers against a gutsy but outmatched Rams team. The Steelers came into the game as favorites, having advanced to the Super Bowl the previous year, and they lived up to that status with a dominant performance.

The game was not as close as the previous year's Super Bowl, but it was still a great showcase of the Steelers' talent and dominance during that era.
