There is some thought that Chuck Noll is actually auditioning sixth-year Jeb Blount in resting sore-kneed Terry Bradshaw, who leads NFL81 with 11 interceptions.

Whether Blount is the eventual replacement for Bradshaw, this play gives significant hope to Steeler fans that Willie McClendon will be a worthy heir to Franco Harris's reign.

Pittsburgh's ball on Cincinnati's 46 yard line. Second and just over 7 to go. 3:30 left in the fourth quarter. The score is Cincinnati 17, Pittsburgh 24.
Pittsburgh's QB1 #2 Jeb Blount gives to HB2 #24 Willie McClendon. McClendon runs for a gain of just over 46 yards. Touchdown, Pittsburgh! That was I27slnt1 (709) against Cincinnati's OB0sh055 (713).
