Even Bradshaw admits that this year has been special. "Last year I throw a pass to Swann, it's a good pass, a good catch, and somebody is right there to tackle him. This year I throw the same pass, and he zigs around four guys and goes into the end zone. Call it luck or magic or whatever, I like it." So do the Pittsburgh fans.

The series is able to develop that subplot and prove, so far as Tolstoy was concerned anyway, the thesis of the novel's famous opening sentence: "All happy families are alike, but an unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion...
