FORT WORTH, Texas -- Hines Ward remembers the early days of his Steelers career, when the greats from the 1970s dynasty teams used to come through the locker room and tell their stories from the glory years. And as great as it was to hear from guys like Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann and Franco Harris, after a while, those stories started to make Ward and his teammates feel a bit inadequate.
"Those guys used to put that right in our faces," Ward said. "Like, you're not really a Steeler until you've won the Super Bowl. So, it's good we've been able to win a couple and add to the legacy."
Bradshaw and his gang won four Super Bowl titles in the 70s, but the organization didn't win again until Ward, Ben Roethlisberger and Co. broke through in Super Bowl XL five years ago in Detroit. They won again three years later, making the Steelers the first first organization ever to win six crowns -- and Sunday, they'll go for a seventh. The current Steelers are proud of their contribution to that history and the manner in which they've been able to perpetuate the Steeler Way of doing things.
