Terry Hanratty was a 2x All-American and Heisman hopeful as the quarterback for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the late 1960s. In 1969, Chuck Noll and the Steelers drafted him #30 overall in the second round of Noll's first NFL Draft. Unfortunately for Hanratty, Pittsburgh would draft Terry Bradshaw number one overall the following season, leaving Hanratty mostly a backup. He went on to win two Super Bowls with #HereWeGo, and his final Steelers appearance came late in Super Bowl X after Bradshaw was knocked out of action. That offseason, Hanratty went unprotected and was selected in the Expansion Draft by the worst team in NFL history, the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He made a handful of appearances, with his sole start ironically coming in Week 13 against his old team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, at Three Rivers Stadium. Hanratty was pulled in favor of Steve Spurrier after throwing just four passes: one was intercepted, two were incomplete, and one was caught for a one-yard loss. #WeAreTheKrewe infamously lost the game 42-0, and Hanratty retired at the end of the season.

Forty Years Ago, the New York Giants were in the midst of a Super Bowl run. Early in the season, however, #BigBlue was still finding its offensive footing. In a Week 4 home matchup vs. the #Saints, New York fell behind 17-0 in the first half. TE Mark Bavaro took a vicious open-field shot to the face from a New Orleans defender, breaking his jawbone. Then Lawrence Taylor and the defense got mean and shut out New Orleans for the rest of the day. Bavaro returned to the game and scored a TD to ignite the Giants, leading to a 20-17 win and cementing his "Rambo tough" legend. We enjoyed every minute of it from our seats in Section 319.
