On January 20, 1980, the Pittsburgh Steelers secured their fourth Super Bowl victory in six years by defeating the Los Angeles Rams with a score of 31-19. The game took place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
The match was competitive through the first three quarters, with the Rams leading 19-17 as they entered the final quarter. However, the Steelers were determined to make history by becoming the first team to win four Super Bowls.
A pivotal moment came when John Stallworth made an impressive play. He caught a pass over Rams' cornerback Rod Perry and ran for a 73-yard touchdown. This shifted momentum in favor of the Steelers.
Despite efforts from the Rams to regain control, Jack Lambert intercepted a pass from Vince Ferragamo, returning possession to Pittsburgh. Quarterback Terry Bradshaw then led a drive downfield that culminated in Franco Harris scoring a one-yard touchdown. Bradshaw's performance earned him MVP honors for the game.
This victory marked another significant achievement for the Steelers franchise and added to their legacy in NFL history.
