description

In a Divisional Round matchup between the Steelers and Dolphins, Pittsburgh receiver Lynn Swann found a soft spot in the defense in the right side of the end zone, and his quarterback fired the ball his way after escaping what looked to be a certain sack. Swann hauled in the pass for the 20-yard touchdown, which extended the Pittsburgh lead to 20 points. Swann caught three passes for 37 yards and one score in this one, as the Steelers beat Miami, 34-14, on Dec. 30, 1978.
