Bradshaw's Running Spark Drives Steelers Past Bills

In a postseason clash in Pittsburgh the Steelers defeated the Bills 32 to 14. Terry Bradshaw ran five times for 48 yards and scrambled to convert key downs, outpacing O J Simpson who totaled 19 yards on 15 carries. The win sets up an AFC title game with the Raiders in Oakland. Buffalo coach Lou Saban blamed defensive mistakes and a broken foot absence of Tony Green for the loss while Steelers receiver Lynn Swann contributed with a second quarter end around for crucial yardage. Simpson credited Pittsburgh's surprising offense and said the Bills aimed to become Super Bowl champions.
