The Pittsburgh Steelers began the 1977 season looking to improve upon their 10-4 record in 1976; when they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Oakland Raiders.
While the Steelers once again won the AFC Central crown, they finished with one fewer win; going 9-5 and losing to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional playoff game at Denver.

“The largest business in American handled by a woman is the Money Order Department of the Pittsburgh Post-office; Mary Steel has it in charge.”
—Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
