Notes:  Cincinnati took advantage of nine Pittsburgh turnovers to upend the defending Super Bowl champions.  Linebackers Howard Kurnick and Jim LeClair each returned fumbles for touchdowns to spark a 20-point second quarter that gave Cincinnati a 27-3 halftime lead.  Cincinnati’s defense recovered a club-record seven fumbles and intercepted two passes.  The Steelers’ Terry Bradshaw attempted a personal high 40 passes, completing 21 for 275 yards, while John Stallworth caught six passes for 126 yards to remain the AFC’s leading receiver.

 

Thanks Rick!
