New York held both titles for 87 days until January 11, 1970, when the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl IV. Baltimore Orioles and Colts in 1970-71 The Orioles won the World Series on October 15, 1970 and the Colts won Super Bowl V on January 17, 1971. Baltimore held both titles for 273 days until the Pittsburgh Pirates won the World Series on October 17, 1971. Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates in 1979-1980 The Steelers won Super Bowl XIII on January 21, 1979, the Pirates won the World Series on October 17, 1979, and the Steelers then won Super Bowl XIV on January 20, 1980. Pittsburgh held both titles for 370 days until the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series on October 21, 1980. New York Mets and Giants in 1986-87 The Mets won the World Series on October 27, 1986 and the Giants won Super Bowl XXI on January 25, 1987.
