Lynn Swann Says He Called A Play That Led To Steelers’ 1974 AFC Championship Win

Sometimes in sports, you need to call your shots, and that’s exactly what Steelers legend Lynn Swann did in 1974.

In a recent interview of News Talk 1480 WHBC Canton Ohio, Swann recalled bugging head coach Chuck Noll to be put in the game during the AFC Championship.

“I go Chuck, I got a play,” Swann said when recalling the game. “And he didn’t even ask me what the play was, he said, ‘alright, go in…’ I ran the route, Terry threw the ball. Caught it, touchdown. We go ahead. We win the game. We go to our own Super Bowl.
