Signature Moments

Four Super Bowl Rings — The Steel Curtain QB

1975-1980·vs vs NFL

Bradshaw won four Super Bowls in six years with the Pittsburgh Steelers — a feat no quarterback matched until Brady decades later. He was Super Bowl MVP twice. The Steelers dynasty of the 1970s was built on defense, but Bradshaw was the trigger.

Four rings in six years. People called him dumb. He had more Super Bowl rings than any quarterback in history at the time.

Super Bowl XIII — 318 Yards and 4 TDs

January 21, 1979·vs vs Dallas Cowboys

Bradshaw threw for 318 yards and 4 touchdowns in Super Bowl XIII, winning MVP in a 35-31 thriller over the Cowboys. It was the highest-scoring Super Bowl at the time. Bradshaw outgunned Roger Staubach in one of the greatest Super Bowls ever played.

He outdueled Staubach in the greatest Super Bowl of the 1970s. 318 yards. Four touchdowns. Bradshaw was anything but dumb.
