Terry Bradshaw - Every Pass from his Final Game (1983 Steelers at Jets)

Описание к видео Terry Bradshaw - Every Pass from his Final Game (1983 Steelers at Jets)

This video highlights each of Bradshaw's final passes as he comes off the bench, despite his injured throwing arm, and delivers a brief but truly exceptional playoff-saving performance in the last start of his Hall of Fame career (also the Jets' final game at Shea Stadium).

Late in the 1983 season (week 15), the Steelers find themselves in need of a savior after the 3 straight losses put them in jeopardy of missing the playoffs. Enter Terry Bradshaw.

While playing only the 1st quarter and one series into the 2nd quarter, Bradshaw is sharp, effective and fully in charge of the offense, hitting 5 of 8 passes for 77 yds and 2 TD's -- the first to rookie Gregg Garrity, to whom Terry had never previously thrown a pass (not even in practice) and the second to Calvin Sweeney -- shaking the Steelers out of their late-season slump while ensuring them of a playoff spot with the badly-needed win.

Sadly, Terry destroys his ailing arm (which is not yet fully healed from off-season surgery) on his first TD toss, but Bradshaw gallantly continues to play in pain until he throws his 2nd TD. The entire team is energized by the presence of Bradshaw and goes on to simply steamrolls the Jets, ending New York's slim playoff hopes while securing a playoff spot of their own.
