Important 1970 photograph of the coin flip that changed the fate of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This exact moment, more than any other in NFL history, changed everything. Pete Rozelle is seen flipping the coin next to Art Rooney of the Steelers and Ed McCaskey of the Bears to see who would get the first pick in the upcoming draft. The Steelers won, selected quarterback Terry Bradshaw, and changed the NFL forever! A unique new discovery from a local New Orleans newspaper and offered here for the first time ever. It is not often the moment history is made gets captured, but this is one of those moments!
