Pretty close on the playoff teams this time around. While the Juice didn't QUITE get to the 2,000 mark he did in real life, he was still way out in front in the rushing race (more than 500 yards ahead of second place). For the first time, more than one receiver crossed the 1,000 yard barrier (four of them). A fantastic finish to the Super Bowl, as with 6:37 to play, Franco Harris rumbled in from 3 yards out to give Pittsburgh a 22-17 lead. However, the Rams drove down field and scored (Hadl to Harold Jackson, 8 yards) to take the lead 24-22 with 1:43 to play, and added late scores with Pittsburgh desperately trying to stop them for the winning margin.
