The difference between the Patriots and those Steelers teams is that there were other great teams in the AFC back then, like Miami and Oakland,

You saw the difference of the physicality of the two teams.

At the pro level, you're dealing more and more with injuries. Teams don't really help you that much. They're all about ice bags and take some ibuprofen. There is not a lot of rehab going on, it's all up to the players to keep themselves healthy.

If penalties are going to be called like that than specialty teams are going to be the difference.
