Which team first used the 3-4 Defense?

I don't think it's known but Miami Dolphins were the first to win a superbowl with the defense in 1972. Pittsburgh Steelers have used the defense since 1982 and I know the Houston Oilers also used the defense. Still it would have to be a college team that first used the defense since college football came before professional. And everything including innovation usually trickelles down from there.
