AFC Wild Card: '74-PIT 31, '71-KC 3

THREE RIVERS (AP) - The Steel Curtain 'D' slammed the door on the '71 Chiefs season with a devastating / dominating performance. KC was held to 57 yards passing and 104 yards rushing. The Steeler offense was paced by a 3 pronged rushing attack that featured Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier and Preston Pearson. Jefferson Street Joe Gilliam threw only 16 times in a game where his defense set out to win it. Mel Blount proved himself to be the best physical shutdown CB in the league as he had 5 passes defensed. Safety Mike Wagner intercepted one of Len Dawson's errant passes. KC star wide out Otis Taylor caught only 1 pass on the day as Blount blanketed him. The Steelers will head to Miami to face the 11-1 Dolphins in the AFC Championship game.
