Bettis was battling injuries year 2 and 3 and STL thought he was done.

Some of the plays he was able to make year 1 and 2 in Pitt were just freakish. For a guy his size it didn't seem possible...

Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
