Jack Ham Calls 1976 Steelers Defense Best They Ever Had

The Pittsburgh Steelers dynasty of the 1970s is nearly unmatched. How quickly they rose from laughing stock to champion. How well they drafted, how they found a quarterback, a running back, a pair of Hall of Fame receivers. But when you think of the 70s Steelers, you think of their defense. The Steel Curtain. The best defense they ever had wasn’t one that won a Super Bowl. It was the 1976 Steelers, one of the most dominant ever in NFL history. A guest on the Talk of Fame Podcast, Jack Ham said he believes that ’76 unit was a cut above the rest.
