Joann Baney has spent the last decade as an associate professor at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University. She has an additional 19 years of experience as part of the executive education faculty of the Columbia Business School. Beyond her professional activities, Joann Baney enjoys following the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won six Super Bowl championships since joining the National Football League (NFL) in 1933, a league record. The Steelers won three of those championships between 1974 and 1979, including the team’s dominant 1978 run.
The 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers went 14-2 during the regular season, a franchise record that would hold until 2004, when the team won 15 games before ultimately losing in the second round of the playoffs. Over the course of the 1978 campaign, the Steelers held six opponents to single-digit scoring. The team won seven games to start the season and entered the playoffs on a five-game winning streak.
In the playoffs, the Steelers continued to dominate, eliminating the Denver Broncos 33-10 and the Houston Oilers 34-5 en route to Super Bowl XIII. Their Super Bowl opponents, the 12-win Dallas Cowboys, proved tough adversaries. At one point in the second quarter, the Cowboys took a 14-7 lead. The advantage was short lived, however, and the Steelers eventually pulled away for a 35-31 victory.
