For those of you who are too young to remember Turkey Jones and the play that made him infamous, let me take you back down memory lane. It was October 10, 1976, and the Steelers were playing their arch-rival, the Cleveland Browns. Terry Bradshaw was injured by the Browns' Joe Jones in the October 10 loss in Cleveland and didn't return until early December.
