"The Steelers were the first team to win a half-dozen Lombardi trophies. They won four during their dynasty of the 1970s, with Chuck Noll as coach and Terry Bradshaw as the starting quarterback. First came Super Bowl IX following the 1974 season, a 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Steelers running back Franco Harris was named the game's MVP after rushing for 158 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown run in the third quarter."
"The following year, the Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 in Super Bowl X. Swann was named MVP after catching four passes for 161 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. In Super Bowl XIII following the 1978 season, Pittsburgh beat Dallas again 35-31. Bradshaw passed for 318 yards with four touchdowns (two to John Stallworth and one each to Rocky Bleier and Swann) and one interception to earn MVP honors."
"The Patriots and Steelers are tied for most Super Bowl wins at six each. The Patriots can break the tie by beating the Seahawks at Super Bowl LX. The Steelers won four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s under coach Chuck Noll and quarterback Terry Bradshaw. The Patriots won all six titles under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. The New England Patriots have a chance to make history at Super Bowl LX."
New England can claim an outright record with a Super Bowl LX win over Seattle, breaking a six-title tie with Pittsburgh. The Steelers earned their first six championships with four in the 1970s under coach Chuck Noll and quarterback Terry Bradshaw, highlighted by Super Bowls IX, X, XIII and XIV with MVP performances from Franco Harris, Lynn Swann and Bradshaw. The Steelers later won a fifth ring following the 2005 season in Super Bowl XL, with Hines Ward earning Super Bowl MVP honors. The Patriots previously won six titles under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
