description

The best players make plays when it matters most, and on this play in Super Bowl XIII, legendary Steelers defensive lineman 'Mean' Joe Greene fought his way to the quarterback and knocked the ball free as he was bringing him down for the sack. Though the Cowboys recovered the loose ball, the play resulted in a big loss, and helped Pittsburgh to a 35-31 win on Jan. 21, 1979 to secure the Super Bowl title, Greene's third with the team.
