Editing Super Bowl XIV (section)

===Aftermath===
The city of [[Pittsburgh]] celebrated its third major pro championship in 13 months. The Steelers had also won the [[Super Bowl XIII|previous year's Super Bowl]], and the city's [[Major League Baseball]] team, the [[Pittsburgh Pirates|Pirates]], had won the [[1979 World Series|World Series]] three months before this Super Bowl game. Ten days after the Steelers' Super Bowl victory, the city's [[National Hockey League]] team, the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], changed its uniform colors to match the black and gold scheme of the Pirates and Steelers, as well as that of the Pittsburgh city flag.

This was the third time in Super Bowl history that a team overcame a deficit entering the fourth quarter to win the game. The [[Baltimore Colts]] entered the final quarter down 13–6 against Dallas in [[Super Bowl V]] and won the game 16–13. The [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] started the final period against Dallas in [[Super Bowl X]] down 10–7 and eventually won the game 21–17. The lead had changed hands seven times, a Super Bowl record to this day. Pittsburgh took the lead four times, while Los Angeles took it three times. Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, and John Stallworth became the fourth, fifth and sixth players to score touchdowns in back-to-back Super Bowls, respectively.  They had to celebrate when Swann returned from the hospital after being injured.

Ferragamo finished the game with 15 out of 25 completions for 212 yards, with 1 interception. Tyler was the top rusher of the game with 60 yards, and caught 2 passes for 20 yards. Waddy was the Rams leading receiver with 3 catches for 75 yards. Harris led the Steelers in rushing with 44 yards and 2 touchdowns, while also catching 3 passes for 66 yards. Stallworth was the top receiver of the game with 3 receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown, an average of 40.3 yards per catch. Swann had 5 catches for 79 yards and a touchdown. Larry Anderson set a Super Bowl record with 162 yards from his 5 kickoff returns.

The Rams would remain competitive in the 1980s but wouldn't reach another Super Bowl until their victory in [[Super Bowl XXXIV]] in January 2000, after the team had moved to St. Louis before the [[1995 NFL season|1995 season]]. The closest the Los Angeles Rams would get to getting back to another Super Bowl in the 1980s, was in [[1985 Los Angeles Rams season|1985]], when they advanced to the NFC title game before falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion [[1985 Chicago Bears season|Chicago Bears]], and in [[1989 Los Angeles Rams season|1989]]; reaching the NFC Championship before losing to division rival and defending [[Super Bowl]] champion [[1989 San Francisco 49ers season|San Francisco]]. Following the loss in the 1989 NFC championship game, the Rams suffered through nine consecutive losing seasons and had the NFL's worst record of the 1990s until the 1999 championship season. They would make 2 Super Bowl appearances with the first being 2 years following their return to Los Angeles in 2016 in [[Super Bowl LIII]], but fell to the New England Patriots by a score of 13–3, and their second being in [[Super Bowl LVI]] (which was also played in the [[Greater Los Angeles|Los Angeles area]], albeit at their actual home stadium [[SoFi Stadium]]) where they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 23–20.

Wendell Tyler eventually won a Super Bowl as a featured back for the San Francisco 49ers in [[1984 San Francisco 49ers season|1984]]. 1984 was also Jack Youngblood's 14th and final season in the NFL. The last link of the 1979 team was Jackie Slater, who remained on the team until 1995, the club's first season in St. Louis. He set an NFL record by playing 20 seasons with one team, yet Super Bowl XIV remained his lone trip to the Big Game. Slater was the last Ram to have been a teammate of legendary defensive tackle [[Merlin Olsen]], who anchored the Rams' [[Fearsome Foursome (American football)|Fearsome Foursome]] for 15 seasons (1962–76).

Pittsburgh would go 9–7 the [[1980 Pittsburgh Steelers season|following season]] and miss the playoffs. They would go 8–8 in [[1981 Pittsburgh Steelers season|1981]] before making the playoffs the next three seasons. Many of the links that powered the Steelers to their Super Bowl wins began to retire shortly after Super Bowl XIV, starting with Rocky Bleier in 1980 and Joe Greene in 1981. Ham spent all of 1982 on injured reserve before retiring. Bradshaw sat out all but one half of the 1983 season before retiring due to recurring elbow injuries, and Blount retired after that season as well. The Steelers were also haunted by their decision to pass on [[Dan Marino]], the standout quarterback for the [[Pittsburgh Panthers football|University of Pittsburgh]], in the [[1983 NFL draft]]. The Steelers' first-round selection of [[1983 NFL season|1983]], [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] defensive tackle [[Gabriel Rivera]], was paralyzed in an automobile accident after seven weeks of his rookie season.  Terry Bradshaw would miss the first 14 games of the 1983 season due to an elbow injury.  His final game was against the New York Jets which he started and led two touchdown drives before being forced out due to another elbow injury following a 10-yard TD pass to [[Calvin Sweeney]].

Lambert was slowed throughout 1984 by a painful [[turf toe]], retiring after that campaign. Stallworth, Webster, and Shell would play well into the 1980s and helped lead Pittsburgh to the 1984 AFC Championship game, where they lost to Marino's [[1984 Miami Dolphins season|Miami Dolphins]]. But they would not reach a Super Bowl until the 1995 season, losing to the Dallas Cowboys 27–17 in Super Bowl XXX. Kicker Matt Bahr would win another Super Bowl with the New York Giants during the [[1990 New York Giants season|1990 season]]. He kicked the game-winning field goal in [[Super Bowl XXV]], and a week earlier booted the game-winning field goal against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, thus denying the 49ers a chance at three straight Super Bowl victories and surpassing the Steelers' total of four Super Bowl titles. Chuck Noll, the last link to Pittsburgh's dynasty, retired from coaching following the [[1991 Pittsburgh Steelers season|1991 season]]. Only [[Bill Belichick]] matched (and later surpassed) Noll's four Vince Lombardi Trophies as a head coach. The Steelers' record of four Super Bowls in six seasons has yet to be matched.
