Steelers Superbowl Trivia

With six days to go until the big dance, I know we are getting inundated with beaucoup quantities of Steeler programming via ESPN, NFL Network, and HBO Sports. If you haven't seen at least seven or eight replays of a Superbowl game in the last week, you're probably: 1) not a big fan 2) a little stingy when it comes to expanded cable channels.

With all this being said, most of us have had enough opportunities to take in some serious Steelers Superbowl programming. Let's see how well we've followed along with a little trivia challenge. Try to avoid using reference material as much as possible.

1. Name the city and stadium in which the Steelers won their first Superbowl trophy.
2. What 1977 action movie depicted terrorism at a Steelers/Cowboys Superbowl?
3. Who shook off pneumonia to record the NFL's first safety in Superbowl history?
4. What action caused Jack Lambert to deck Cliff Harris during Superbowl X, serving to ignite the Black and Gold?
5. Whose fateful drop in Superbowl XIII served as a pivotable point in the contest?
6. What Steeler linebacker was held on a controversial 4th quarter call in Superbowl XL?
7. What call nullified a would-be first quarter touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks in Superbowl XL?
8. Who was the leading receiver in Superbowl XXX?
9. Who is the all time Superbowl leader in rushing attempts and rushing yards?
10. Who did Terry Bradshaw once say should have been a two time Superbowl MVP (overlooked both times)?
