46 years later, an Oilers legend still feels playoff pain from Steelers loss

Late Sunday night, nestled in his living room in The Woodlands, former Houston Oilers quarterback Dan Pastorini couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia as he watched the conclusion of Sunday Night Football.

"I kind of smiled and chuckled a little bit," Pastorini told Chron early Monday morning, "I said to myself, 'well, let's see if you can do better in the playoffs than we did up there."

The "up there" in question? Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the Houston Texans will face the Steelers in the AFC wild-card round Monday night.
