Steelers linebacker Andy Russell, who suffered a bruised shoulder in a 17-9 win over Oakland, buttons his shirt after a treatment on Sunday, Nov. 13, 1973, in Pittsburgh. Russell, commenting on possible \u201cdirty tricks\u201d used by the Raiders, said, \u201cThey have too good a team to rely on that kind of stuff.\u201d It\u2019s inconceivable to me that they would try dirty tricks like that, but I suppose it\u2019s possible.\u201d (AP Photo\/Harry Cabluck)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
