‘1980 — Bills 28, Steelers 13 — In one of the proudest days of the Talkin’ Proud period, Buffalo bullied a Pittsburgh team full of Hall of Famers that had won the past two Super Bowls among four championships in the ‘70s. The Bills defense allowed only 239 yards, limiting Terry Bradshaw to 155 yards passing, and Franco Harris to 57 yards rushing. Bills QB Joe Ferguson passed for 212 yards and three touchdowns. Jerry Butler had 67 yards receiving and beat Mel Blount for two TDs. Reuben Gant caught the other scoring pass. Joe Cribbs rushed for 110 yards and Curtis Brown had 66 yards rushing with a touchdown. “They beat us across the board,” said Steelers legend Mean Joe Greene. The crowd was 79,659, though more than 30,000 were late-arriving Steelers fans gridlocked on the thruway at kickoff. The Bills improved to 9-3 staying ahead of the Patriots in the AFC East division.’
