The front page has a nice banner headline in the iconic team colors: "STEELERS STILL SUPER" with subheads and two related photos, one showing Lynn Swann celebrating with teammates in the end zone after scoring a touchdown. (see images) Much more on various inside pages. Great to have this is a Pittsburgh publication, rare as such.
Thirty-two pages, This issues has wear at the margins, mostly loose along the spine, but very minimal loss of text, a nice issue for display as such.

background: The January 19, 1976, edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette serves as a vibrant time capsule capturing the immediate aftermath of the Steelers' 21–17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, a win that solidified their status as back-to-back champions. The "STEELERS STILL SUPER" banner headline, rendered in the team's signature black and gold, mirrors the electric atmosphere of a city transitioning from a gritty industrial hub to the "City of Champions." Centering the coverage on Lynn Swann is particularly poignant; his MVP performance—highlighted by that spectacular 64-yard touchdown catch—transformed football into an art form and provided the iconic imagery of him celebrating in the end zone. Because it originates from a local publication rather than a national wire service, the reporting carries an intimate, celebratory tone that resonates with the collective pride of Western Pennsylvania, making it a rare and evocative artifact of the Steel Curtain’s dominance.
