Dick LeBeau Might Not Have Found His Way Back To Pittsburgh Without Stop In Buffalo

There is an interesting connection between the two teams scheduled to meet Monday afternoon in BuffaSNOW.

And it is much more than a footnote, given what the Pittsburgh Steelers accomplished from 2005-10.

Dick LeBeau, architect of the defenses that powered the Steelers to two Super Bowl wins in three appearances during a six-season span, spent the 2003 season working with the Buffalo Bills as an assistant head coach. The next season he returned to Pittsburgh for a second stint as the Steelers’ defensive coordinator under Bill Cowher. The rest, as they say, is history.

But there is much more to the story.
