Best Answer

The franchise now known as the Pittsburgh Steelers entered the NFL in 1933 as the Pittsburgh Pirates.

On Wednesday, September 7th, 1933, Marvin "Butch" Kottler became the first Pittsburgh player to score a touchdown when he intercepted a pass at Pittsburgh's 1 yard line and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown against the Chicago Cardinals (who later moved to St. Louis, and then Arizona). The Pittsburgh Pirates went on to win that game, the second one in their history, 14-13.

Kottler's 99-yard return remained the team record for the longest interception return until Super Bowl XLIII (43) on February 1, 2009, when the Steelers' James Harrison returned an interceptions for 100 yards just before halftime, against the Arizona Cardinals.
