The Steelers are known today for building consistently competitive teams through the draft and measured free agent signings, but it wasn’t always that way. There was a time when the Steelers decided to go for broke in an effort to win a championship.

The ramifications of this experiment would ultimately shape the “Steeler Way” for years to come.
