Let’s set the scene: Sept. 24, 1995 at Three Rivers Stadium, the 2-1 Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the 1-2 Minnesota Vikings.
Under two minutes to go in the first half, the Vikings holding a 10-6 lead, Fuad Reveiz on to attempt a 48-yard field goal.
Reveiz’s kick is no good, yet there’s yellow laundry on the field for 12 men on the Steelers defense. After that, all hell breaks loose, eventually leading to then-head coach Bill Cowher and head official Gordon McCarter forever being linked due to a Polaroid.
It’s one of the more infamous incidents in Pittsburgh Steelers history, but also one of the more iconic, and quite honestly summed up who Cowher was as the head coach of the Steelers — that being a no-nonsense, hard-charging, fiery coach who went to bat for his team no matter what.
