In 1969, the Steelers and Bears tied for last in the NFL with matching 1-13 seasons. To decide who would get the first overall selection in the 1970 Draft, they flipped a coin.

The Bears lost the coin flip, and decided to trade their 2nd overall selection to the Packers in exchange for 3 players: linebacker Lee Roy Caffey, running back Elijah Pitts, and center Bob Hyland. Lee Roy Caffey and Bob Hyland were both out of Chicago by 1971, and Elijah Pitts was cut before the 1970 season even began.

The Steelers selected Terry Bradshaw.
