Swan Song: Mel Blount’s Last INT

Time for a new series I’m starting this offseason to bridge the gap from now until training camp. Nostalgia-heavy posts and maybe ones that bring a tear to your eye. In these articles, we’ll revisit the final touchdown or notable play in the career of some of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ greatest players. Their swan song, us celebrating their final celebration.

Mel Blount had an incredible, Hall of Fame career. First in team history with 57 interceptions, his final one came in 1983, in a game against the New York Jets memorable for lots of reasons. It was the last game Terry Bradshaw would ever play in, throwing his final pair of touchdown passes as the Steelers comfortably handled the Jets.
