The Colts' first sellout since
1977, and last in Baltimore, came about because thousands of Steelers fans who normally could not purchase tickets at Three Rivers Stadium found them cheap and plentiful in Maryland. Pittsburgh returned to Memorial Stadium with the birth of the
Baltimore Ravens in
1996.
Pittsburgh's first trip to the Motor City since
1967 was nothing short of disastrous. It was the Steelers' most lopsided loss under Noll, eclipsed only by a 51-0 embarrassment by the Browns at home in the
1989 opener.
After having been sidelined with an elbow injury for the first 14 games of the season, 36-year old
Terry Bradshaw started his first game of the season. Despite still clearly being hampered by his elbow, he was able to impress in limited time. It would the final time Bradshaw would see the field as a player, as he felt a pop in his elbow while throwing his final pass, a 10-yard touchdown to
Calvin Sweeney. Bradshaw did not play during the play-offs and retired after the season.[19]
This was also the final NFL game held at Shea Stadium.
Eight days after Bradshaw threw his last pass,
Brian Sipe started his last NFL game in what turned out to be a hollow victory for the Browns, who were eliminated from the playoffs three hours later when the Seahawks defeated the Patriots in Seattle.
