Second only to the Indianapolis Colts, the Steelers allowed 16.8 points per game on average falling behind the Colts by .4 points.

Answer: Miami Dolphins

The final score of the game was 3-0 with a late 4th quarter field goal. This broke a low-scoring record that went back to the 1943 season for the longest time without a score. Miami faced off against the Steelers in the mud and the rain on a Monday night, and because of heavy use during the weekend, the field was freshly sodded which separated from the dirt, turning the field into a swimming pool.

Answer: True

The logo, introduced in 1962, is only on the right side of the helmet, originally to see what the logo would look like against the black helmet, but the look stuck. Also, the Steelers were one of two teams who put the player's numbers on both the front and back of the helmets.
