I saw the movie Heaven Can Wait in the summer of 1978 when I was 8 years old. I was just starting to get into enjoying football. In the movie, Warren Beatty's Rams defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the Super Bowl.
A year and a half later, who would have thought the exact same match-up would occur in the Super Bowl in real life? I'm a young kid... I'm still thinking the "good guys" always won, just like in the movies.
We were leading 19-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Time for the Hollywood Ending.
Sigh.
Had to wait 20 long years to get revenge and a world championship!
And another couple decades for a second one. With a lot of heartbreak in between. But honestly, it's been worth it.

I rewatched this game a few weeks ago. It had been a very very long time.
This could be the most physical football game Ive ever seen. Punishing.

Back then there were a few years where Street & Smith's preseason magazine always predicted a Rams vs Steelers super bowl because they both had maybe the two most talented rosters in the league. The Rams just couldn't get over the hump due to QB play and a conservative offense.
