NFL game summary for 12/27/1975:

Franco Harris set an AFC divisional playoff record by rushing for 153 yards and linebacker Andy Russell set an NFL postseason mark by running 93 yards for a touchdown after recovering a fumble as Pittsburgh advanced to its second straight AFC title game. Bert Jones, who led the Colts to the Eastern Division championship with nine straight victories, suffered an arm injury on the seventh play and did not return until the final quarter. Mel Blount and Jack Ham made key interceptions of Marty Domres' passes and Ham also jarred the ball loose from Jones to make possible Russell's long run.

Terry Bradshaw came back after a knee injury in the second quarter and scored the final touchdown. Harris' eight-yard touchdown run put the Steelers out front in the first quarter but a Marty Domres to Glenn Doughty 5-yard pass tied the score in the second period. Toni Linhart's 21-yard field goal gave the Colts a 10-7 lead in the third quarter before Bradshaw, Harris and the Steelers' defense took over. The Colts were held to 154 yards, 82 rushing and 72 passing, and the Steelers sacked their passer five times.
