Steelers Retro Podcast: Struggling Steelers dig down deep in the heart of Texas

Off we go to a trying time in Pittsburgh Steelers history. On this very day... Chicago was tops on the radio with “Look Away”, The Naked Gun: Files From Police Squad was No. 1 with movie goers, actor Gary Busey miraculously survived a motorcycle accident — and the Steelers were reeling with a dreadful 3-10 record and visiting the Houston Astrodome (a.k.a. the House of Pain) to take on the playoff-bound Oilers.

Welcome to December 4, 1988 and a black-and-yellow rose blooming in a season of thorns.

Flash back to that awesome classic on the Steelers Retro Show and join BTSC’s Tony Defeo and Bryan Anthony Davis as they go back in time and relive this memorable matchup.
