More info: The 1979 NFL season was the 60th regular season of the National Football League. The season ended with Super Bowl XIV when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Los Angeles Rams. * If a fair catch is made, or signaled and awarded to a team because of interference, on the last play of a half, the period can be extended and the team can run one play. * Centers are included as the interior offensive linemen in the uniform numbering system. * During kickoffs, punts, and field goal attempts, players on the receiving team cannot block below the waist. * Players cannot use their helmets to butt, spear, or ram an opponent. Any player who uses the crown or the top of his helmet unnecessarily will be called for unnecessary roughness. * Referees were outfitted with black identifying hats, while all other officials continued to wear white hats. * The numbering system for officials was altered, with officials numbered separately by position rather than as an entire group, making duplicate numbers among officials common.
