50 yrs ago today. In 5th grade, watched it at my best friend's house. They had gotten a color TV for Christmas. Wish the Super Bowl was still played during the day!
@Stephendacey Within city limits, the four local stations came in fine, needed the telescoping VHF or in some cases the new plastic flat wired petanque looking ones for picking up the local stations in nearby cities, and the UHF "hooped" antenna for some of those too. But by 71-72, many households were splashing out for "Cable Vision"
The Cowboys first S.B. title. I was 10 years old. Before this game, the Cowboys had a rep for being "next year's champions", who "couldn't win the big one". Bob Lilly's 29-yard sack of Bob Griese is still the longest sack in both Super Bowl & NFL history. And if there were ever going to be an NFL record (by a Cowboys player) that stood the test of time, it would be one made by "Mr. Cowboy".
It is PROBABLE that Bob Lilly's 29-yard sack will remain a record. In theory, it could fall. However, Mike Clark's 9-yard field goal will for CERTAIN be the shortest field goal ever in a Super Bowl. And it's by a Cowboys player. :)
gregory freeman I remember Charlie waters of Dallas said after losing to the San Francisco 49 ERs in the 1981 NFC title game said "we let out a monster" and he mentioned Joe Montana.
@@frankdenardo8684 they let out a 2 year monster in the dolphins after this game undefeated untied super bowl champs the next year and super bowl champs the year After with an even better team that wasn't undefeated
The video quality of the 4th quarter is spectacular. It's really a shame that the rest of the game doesn't match up, but it's great to see this game looking as good as it does for being nearly 45 years old. Wow!
When i was a kid my dad talked to me about these early super bowls, it's so awesome to be able to watch them and be able to compare them to my memories of my dad describing them.
THANK YOU NFL for allowing us to see this footage finally after all these years. It was always strange having these games played and just laying around in some vault never to be seen again. We really need to work on getting all the old ball games on here so we have access to our history. I mean after all...the games r bought and paid for by fans already, so we should have access to at least watch these old games. The Live broadcast and also the great work NFL films did with thier recap movies. Which is another topic...NFL Films should be doing what they always did instead of producing highlight news reels. Thanks again.
No idiots painting their faces or wearing stupid colored fright wigs. That dude with the rainbow fro started all that crap. Even though I liked seeing the cameras on that guy because he was the original until it became overdone nonsense decades later.
And after playing with the mediocre Chargers for years Alworth finally gets a chance to shine. Catches his first and only Super Bowl TD... hands the ball to the official and heads to the sidelines.
I was at this Superbowl with my younger brother and Grandfather . We had box seats on the Dallas sideline. I almost caught Dwane Thomas chinstrap as he trew it into stands at end of the game. Those were the days !
Quite possibly the most dominant performance in Superbowl History its good to have Roger Staubach the only quarterback in history to win The Congressional Medal Freedom Award
5 Super Bowls among all coaches you've mentioned. Unfortunately Dan Reeves has a bad history as a coach in the big game. Went three times with Denver and lost. Took Atlanta and lost to Denver
Bill Arnsparger and Howard Schenellenberger failed as NFL coaches, but had more success in college. Monte Clark won a division title with the Lions, which proved he knew a few things.
@@otaviofrnazario, Bud Grant had the same issue with Super Bowls, as did Marv Levy with Buffalo, 4 straight years, 3 of them to Dallas..the point is, it's a 'team' game, not just a coach or QB, though the media always treats it that way..
Reeves took 3 Denver teams to the SB, and then he coached the Falcons to their first SB. He was offensive coordinator in the Cowboys 2nd Super Bowl win over... the BRONCOS. He was also OC when the 'Boys had 2 exciting come-from-behind playoff wins (in 1978 and 1980) over the FALCONS. (Against Atlanta, Danny White relieved an injured Staubach in the first one, and was the starting QB in the 2nd. He never had the ultimate success, but to follow a legend like Roger, Danny did okay. Tough act to follow.) Ditka, of course, was the head coach of one of the most dominant seasons any team ever had, the 18-1 Bears in 1985. Their only loss that season? To Shula's DOLPHINS on MNF. Buddy Ryan, his infamous defensive coordinator, was defensive line coach for the '69 Jets. They were the team that upset the Colts in the SB. Baltimore's head coach was... Don Shula. I've always thought those were unique coincidences.
i remember watching this game and jumping up and down as Lilly chased Griese! yelling "get him, get him!" while watching this video, i had forgotten just how hard Walt G ran and was hard to stop!
@FireWithFire and all the trash talking started with Thomas Hollywood Henderson of none other than the Cowboys. Then he took his act to Miami and wore out his welcome with Shula real fast which is amazing considering all the trash talking the early to mid 90s dolphins did especially before games with buffalo most if which they lost. At least Dallas didn't trash talk before the 2 super bowls against buffalo they knew to save it for after the 2 games which they won easily. Maybe Miami should have taken a page out of Dallas' book. Dallas trash talked before the games but not publicly like Miami did
I always liked it when it was dark outside on the East Coast and daylight at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Ca. As the game went on a shadow would eventually cover the field until the lights were turned on.
Bob greise, Bob lily, Larry Csonka, Don Shula, Paul Warfield, Tom Landry, Nick Bounoconti, Larry Little, Herb Adderley, Bob Hayes, Lance Alworth, and Mike Ditka are all in the Hall of fame.
@MelT W Years later he admitted to some insiders he might have done things a bit different. It's one thing to stand up for ones principles. It's another to alienate those who battled (along side him) that same system. Remember, even he realized that the Dallas Cowboys organization was cheating not just him-but for the most part-the whole team in terms of respectable salaries and bonuses. You may (or may not) remember, he tried to return to the NFL on at least two different occasions. But by then, his running and athletic football skills were gone by then. THAT is the tragedy of it all... of what might have been.
He wanted to get paid accordingly. Three things you don't talk about in life: A man's mother, his kids, or his money. I don't blame him for wanting to get paid.
Tribute to the Greatness of Lance Alworth. He could've just gone through the motions and got his Superbowl ring. Instead, there was no way in Hell he WASN'T going to leave his signature on this game.
@@drbonesshow1 The difference is however, Lance spoke up for himself, and told Coach Landry to have Roger get the ball to him. I'm not saying that's what Sweetness should have done, but it wouldn't have hurt.
When the NFL was truly the NFL. Ray Scott & Pat Summerall called a good game. Walt with 74 yds/14 carries, Duane with 95 yds/19 carries & Calvin with 25 yds/7 carries did enough to open up the pass for MVP Roger, 12 for 19 for 119 yds/2 TDs. Doomsday defense played solid through out 4 qtrs. Iron men. Thanx for the upload.
It's a shame Landry didn't let Staubach play in the SB the previous season. Morton looked lost against the Colts pass rush, and I believe Roger could have been the difference. Dallas' defense forced SEVEN turnovers, but 3 critical interceptions by Morton did them in. To be fair, Duane Thomas' fumble on the goal line hurt, too. Had he not lost that ball, we might have won the game, as well. Staubach's running and scrambling could have won the game for us. Craig was a good QB when he had a clean pocket, but in both SBs he played in, he was a turnover machine. This was Landry's only weakness, IMO - he couldn't see differences in his QBs. He thought that execution was the key to everything. He rarely accounted for the intangibles. Once he was forced to choose Staubach in 1971, I think the blinders came off. I love Landry, so don't think I'm being too harsh. But even great men have their flaws, and that was Tom's. He actually thought Gary Hogeboom could play championship level QB... LOL He's the greatest coach of all time, IMO. Peace
As a fan of both the Chicago Bears & the Dallas Cowboys, I thought it was cool to see Mike Ditka in this game. Albeit Mike Ditka's retirement, 'Super Bowl 20' & 'Super Bowl 6' happened before I was even born, I still find Mike Ditka to be one of my all-time favorite NFL tight ends & both of these games to be some of my all-time & personal favorite 'Super Bowl' match-ups, but, those are all other stories for another time.
Same for me. I was in Germany at the time, as my dad was stationed there. My uncle sent me a pair of Cowboys pajamas for the prior Christmas. My parents let me stay up and listen to the game on the radio. I don't have the pajamas any longer, but I do have a set of Super Bowl VI Cowboys glasses that belonged to my uncle.
Not to argue, but... Baltimore and Pittsburgh were NFL (as opposed to AFL) teams who were moved to the AFC, along with Cleveland, at the merger. Together, they won 5. Had Landry let Staubach play, I believe the Cowboys would have beaten the Colts the previous year. Craig Morton was a turnover machine when he was pressured. Staubach was way better, but Landry liked Morton, and thought his system would rule the day. The Cowboys had 5 HOFers on defense - Howley, Renfro, Adderley, Harris, and the greatest DT ever, Bob Lilly. Howley is still the only player on a losing team to win SB MVP. This game was the only time a team did not score a TD until the Patriots held the Rams without one.
@@comfortat yes sir you are right. I think anyone who watches these old game clips are aware of the old NFL teams that were moved to the AFC. My comment was simple and to the point. You seem like a good person based on your reply and loves to talk about the old games that were played. BTW, some people forget that Minnesota won the last NFL Championship before the merger. Losing to the Chiefs screwed that up. Cheers.
@@comfortat - He was playing injured. I hate to see that blocked pass of his when he had two receivers open to the left for a touchdown. He just had to loft it a tad higher.
Dwayne Thomas was magnificent. He ran so smoothly and used his blockers to perfection. I remember watching this game live and that pitch out to him for a touchdown imparted the most triumphant feeling. The Cowboys finally made it all the way!
Whatta performance by my Cowboys. Picking up their first and the very first 'Vince Lambardi' Trophy. They Dominated this entire game with the legs of Garrison/Thomas. Though Staubach's performance was fine. I think the MVP should've been either Thomas or Howley!
In back to back Super Bowls, Chuck Howley had 4 turnovers at freakin' outside linebacker. Amazing. He had 2 interceptions in Super Bowl 5 and remains the only player from the losing team to be named the Super Bowl MVP. In this game, he recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass by Griese. Despite his Super Bowl and regular season (e.g., 6 consecutive Pro Bowls, 5 time First Team All-Pro) accolades, Howley is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One could argue that Howley is currently the BEST player not enshrined in Canton.
@helpisontheway9405 Well...in his rookie year, Cliff was an immediate starter; he was a 6 time Pro Bowler; 3 time All-Pro; played in 5 Super Bowls in his 10 year career; 2 Super Bowl rings; the NFL's first "killer" free safety (e.g., physical at line of scrimmage and in the secondary); selected to the 70's All-Decade Team as the 1st team free safety; and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Harris was not a good player, he was a GREAT player.
This was the first SB I ever watched a kid. I love the old graphics. Gotta love the single bar face masks and the goal post in the field of play. They need to bring that back!
Manny Fernandez was one of my favorite players from my childhood. He had a really nice 4-5 year run. He was so underrated. This was the Dolphins 2nd playoff appearance and even though they lost, it was clear to see that they would have to be dealt with, and boy did they! If not for the"Sea of Hands" maybe they go to 4 in a row and win 3 in a row. Maybe they get "The Team of the Decade". They weren't the same after the defections to the WFL and their demise led to the Steelers stepping in the mid to late '70s and claim 4 Super Bowls. To a man, if you asked the Dolphins if they could do it again, and matched up with their best team and Oakland and Pittsburgh best, they would say they would beat them both. You know what???? I believe it! These were disciplined and very basically fundamentally sound Dolphin teams that wouldn't be intimidated by the Steelers and Raiders, and if they got down, had the weapons to come back! I focused my comments on the Dolphins because I believe the Cowboys reached their peak twice. This team, and of course their best team up to the Jimmy Johnson Cowboys era in 1977. However this Dolphins team would be perfect the next season and a notch better in '73 and got beat by Oakland in '74 and that opened the door for the Steelers. I honestly believe that if the Dolphins win that game against Oakland and not had 3 of there best players (Czonka, Kickk, and Warfield) they win a couple of more Championships and the 70's end up totally different!
@@fearthemunky1 Miami beat them in 71 72 73 with greenwood white Greene ham Russell Wagner blount that is 7 players out of 11 on defense also Bradshaw Franco harris
The Jimmy Johnson years were in the early 90's. In the 1978 draft, Warren Moon went undrafted. Staubach retired after the 1979 season. There were at least three Super Bowls for the Cowboys in the 80's if they had drafted Moon.
@@mr.majestic2667I respectfully disagree !! The Steelers were minus 5 future hofers in that 72 conference championship game, Swann Stalworth,Lambert ,Webster ,Donnie Shell ,a pretty good cb in Jimmy Allen . Your quick to stipulate hypothetical notions in defense of the dolphins ,while selectively dismissing that fact . Pittsburgh morphed it's lineup twice during it's 70's dynasty, Webster and Larry Brown became permanent new starters by the time the second Steelers repeat occurred , Robbin Cole replaced Andy Russell , Donnie Shell replaced Glen Edwards , Steve Furness ,replaced Ernie Holmes , thats 4 probowl players positions that were renewed . The fg kicker Garry Anderson ,replaced a forner probowl fg kicker Roy Gerala halfback Sidney Thornton replaced a former 1000 yd rusher in Rocky Bleier , Stalworth replaced a future probowl wr in Frank Lewis . The Steelers handled the transition of talent better then the dolphins ,which actually is the most underrated contept ignored about the Steelers 70's dynasty because of the over permeating myth that the no exclusive free egency era meant every team carried all of its talent throughout a players prime years .The 72 dolphins were very fortunate to defeat that Steelers team without the benifets or Pittsburgh not possessing or hose 5 hofers and quality cb on it's roster yet .Every Steelers 70''s SB winning team and it's 76 team would have beaten any dolphins SB campaign team . Pittsburgh conquered the dolphins in the 1979 divisional rd with Griese , kuechenberg, Langler ,Mathison ,all relics of the dolphins SB teams , venerable talent in Delvin Williams ,Tony Nathan ,Nat Moore ,a elite defense , Bob kuechenberg pre game statements essentially duplicating your assessment , and the Steelers answered that biased proclamation with a 34 to 14 beat down . In no objective context would the 70:s SB winning Steelers be succumbed by the dolphins SB winning teams ,as previously mentioned I'd also include a reasonably healthy "Franco ,Rocky " 1976 Steelers team in this equation , that same 76 Steelers team who nearly shutout the dolphins in it's season contest victory vs the fins ,a team who still had multiple members still on its roster . That 1972 dolphins win , Pittsburgh rallied from a huge deficit and forced the dolphins to utilize giving up a safety to preserve by the skin of it's teeth a narrow victory , again , this version of Pittsburgh hadn't yet aquired the services of 5 hofers and a excellent reserve cb on it's roster . I respectfully disagree with your theory .

2:57 - Mercury Morris could literally run circles around Jim Kiick while advancing the ball down the field (especially on artificial turf), yet Shula didn't allow him to run the ball even *once* the entire game. What was he thinking?
SingleTax I agree, I was 9 years old asking my dad "why won't they let mercury Morris play"! And to this day I believe had shula played him, it would have opened up the passing game and warfield would have had a field day.
Most of the Cowboy starting defense here were playing in the legendary Ice Bowl four years before. You don’t see that kind of continuity in the NFL today.
@@Mr.56Goldtop LOL! It's cause we're getting old brother! The game doesn't mean as much to us as it did when we were kids. The 49ers are playing the Ravens this Sunday. Let's make time to watch that one, and then argue who would win between the 1984 49ers and the 2000 Ravens.
@@radar0412 It's not the game I dislike, it's a lot of the players and the way they play the game. I started watching back in the early-mid 1960s when I was only a wee lad of about 7 or 8. I started losing interest in the late 90s. I still watch a lot of college FB though, and I like to watch the old NFL games on RUclips from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. But the 70s is really "my time".
59:53- 59:59. That cloud(or it might be something else) gave this game a surreal feeling. I also liked the above view that they gave this game. You can see the shadows of the players, which gives it a genuine feel.
I just rewatched this game, the only time since I watched it live over fifty years ago. I still consider this squad "my" Cowboys. What a rush, both times.
I really like the no nonsense approach by the players back then. No dancing and excessive celebrating after every good play, just get up and get back to the huddle. The actual Celebrations feel much more genuine.
This is back when NFL pro football was still pretty much a working class sport. Teams were clubs. Now they're corporations. Today it's a rich man's game.
To this day, I still can't believe only three Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks have started in a Super Bowl. Roger Staubach, Jim Plunkett, and Cam Newton.
Back then, you never knew the score, quarter or how much time was left. I remember people coming over to our house saying, "what's the score?" or "who's winning?" Most women would say, "who's playing?" Those were the ways of the days.
Very dominant performance, Miami really had nothing going but a couple of good returns, I especially enjoyed watching Garrison run never went down easy, and Ditka came up big on several big plays i enjoy the pre spectacle super bowls a great deal
Good observation. Here's another one. After this win, this completed a run of 20 wins and only 4 losses in their last 24 games, going back to Week 11 of the prior season. One of those losses, of course, was to the Colts in Super Bowl V. Their other three losses were earlier this season, to the Redskins by 4 points, the Saints by 10 points, and the Bears by 4 points. During this 24 game stretch, the Cowboys averaged just 25.7 points on offense, but gave just 11.7 points on defense. They really did have quite a good defense back then.
The Cowboys had the best team ever put on a football field this year. People will disagree and no one mentions them anymore but that is out of ignorance. HOF cornerback on both sides, HOF SSHOF defensive tackle possibly the best football player ever in Bob Lilly (as stated by Bill Walsh) HOF QB HOF offensive Tackle, HOF TE, HOF WR on both sides, and being coached by a HOF coach. Oh yeah and a HOFer on the bench at the end of his career Forrest Gregg. The possibly the best back in the league this year in #33 Thomas, One of the best TEs of the late 60s in Billy Truax, Calvin Hill on the sideline injured, a man that will go into the HOF eventually and should’ve been there long ago Chuck Howley, I believe a 5x All-Pro and the only player to win a Super Bowl MVP from the losing team. Back these players up with great linemen and reserves that would go on and play in three more SB in the next 7 yrs. add in the Dolphins HOFers that got whupped this game and damn I miss the old days.
I'm giving it to the Steelers of the mid-70s, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Staubach could run rings around Bradshaw, but otherwise I think the Steelers were superior.
@@johnphelan4215 they were great and Bradshaw was the weak point on that team. He couldn’t read defenses but was big and strong enough that it was hard to bring him down quickly. Cowboys of the early 90s, 49ers of the early mid 80s, Lions of the 50s, Browns of the late 50s, pack of the early 60s. And of course the early 70s Miami teams. All great can’t forget the Vikings, Chiefs, and Raiders. I miss the golden age of Football.
And back then you could want a team to lose but not because of taunting OT showboating just because you may be a fan of the opposition. But you knew if the team you wanted to lose won they wouldn't be putting down the other team the way they do now. Most Ayers were true gentlemen and showed good sportsmanship after the game back then
You can also see slot of that in the 1978 Dolphins Cowboys game that was played in Miami that Miami won. Yeah Hollywood Henderson was in the game for Dallas but other than that the two teams just went out and played just lime in this Super Bowl
Jobs taken seriously. Most had off season jobs. Couldn't afford to get cut. You meant business on the field. No guaranteed contracts. Very little taunting. Players really professional.
as a young 23 year old Cowboys fan who wasn't old enough to see a Cowboys Superbowl I'm glad I can say I can get on RUclips and watch them unlike any Eagles fans at any age 😎
It's a wonder the regressives don't whine about that, the demise of the straight-on placekicker and the Super Bowl now being played in prime time with half the audience tuning in only for the halftime concert and the commercials. Players for sure are not allowed to smile, show any joy or have opinions about anything outside of the sport they play.
The goalpost cost the Redskins a year later when a Billy Kilmer pass hit the goalpost, if the Redskins score on that drive, it might have been a different game.
Super Bowl 4 was also held in Tulane Stadium but at that game, the field was real grass. Artificial turf was all the rage in the early 70s despite the fact the players hated it as it was like playing on concrete and joint injuries happened far more often compared to playing on natural grass

Staubach had Bob Hayes and Lance Alworth as his go to WRs. Great combination.
Surprisingly enough, Walt Garrison had the most receptions for The Cowboys in 71. Probably because of Staubach's point guard style of Quarterbacking.

Before this game, the Cowboys had a rep for being "next year's champions", who "couldn't win the big one".
Bob Lilly's 29-yard sack of Bob Griese is still the longest sack in both Super Bowl & NFL history. And if there were ever going to be an NFL record (by a Cowboys player) that stood the test of time, it would be one made by "Mr. Cowboy".

It is PROBABLE that Bob Lilly's 29-yard sack will remain a record. In theory, it could fall.
However, Mike Clark's 9-yard field goal will for CERTAIN be the shortest field goal ever in a Super Bowl. And it's by a Cowboys player. :)

@@richardhamblen5526 yes... Just one thing: Levy lost twice to Dallas, once to Washington and once to the New York Giants
@@richardhamblen5526 I find it interesting that both Grant and levy came from the CFL...
Chuck Howley was a beast in SB V and VI
It would have been reasonable for him to get a second MVP
He did get tackled by a hash mark though.
Mike Ditka and Dan Reeves were teammates and assistant coaches under Tom Landry's Dallas Cowboys. Both later became Head Coaches in the NFL.
Reeves took 3 Denver teams to the SB, and then he coached the Falcons to their first SB. He was offensive coordinator in the Cowboys 2nd Super Bowl win over... the BRONCOS. He was also OC when the 'Boys had 2 exciting come-from-behind playoff wins (in 1978 and 1980) over the FALCONS. (Against Atlanta, Danny White relieved an injured Staubach in the first one, and was the starting QB in the 2nd. He never had the ultimate success, but to follow a legend like Roger, Danny did okay. Tough act to follow.)
Ditka, of course, was the head coach of one of the most dominant seasons any team ever had, the 18-1 Bears in 1985. Their only loss that season? To Shula's DOLPHINS on MNF. Buddy Ryan, his infamous defensive coordinator, was defensive line coach for the '69 Jets. They were the team that upset the Colts in the SB. Baltimore's head coach was... Don Shula.
I've always thought those were unique coincidences.
@@comfortat1968 Jets. Buddy also was on Bud's staff with the Vikings as well.
i remember watching this game and jumping up and down as Lilly chased Griese! yelling "get him, get him!" while watching this video, i had forgotten just how hard Walt G ran and was hard to stop!
Great old school hard hitting game with no gimmicks and on-field celebrations-high fives weren't even common after TDs until the late 70's!
Unfortunately? For real?
+D Kelly,Jr yep
Thomas Henderson
@FireWithFire and all the trash talking started with Thomas Hollywood Henderson of none other than the Cowboys. Then he took his act to Miami and wore out his welcome with Shula real fast which is amazing considering all the trash talking the early to mid 90s dolphins did especially before games with buffalo most if which they lost. At least Dallas didn't trash talk before the 2 super bowls against buffalo they knew to save it for after the 2 games which they won easily. Maybe Miami should have taken a page out of Dallas' book. Dallas trash talked before the games but not publicly like Miami did
@@heydudedolfan13 they actually looked bigger than you.
I watched this game live in the early 70s. I forgot how good the Miami defense was. I haven't watched this since the actual game was played.
Miami must have not been good enough. Dallas scored 24 points and won the game.
Damn, Lilly was a f'in beast!
Yeah, he forced the Zonka fumble.
R.I.P.: Tom Landry and Don Shula 😢
Nothing like watching the Super Bowl being played in the afternoon on a sunny day.
Then there was nothing to do on Sunday night back then😂
I always liked it when it was dark outside on the East Coast and daylight at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Ca. As the game went on a shadow would eventually cover the field until the lights were turned on.
Bob greise, Bob lily, Larry Csonka, Don Shula, Paul Warfield, Tom Landry, Nick Bounoconti, Larry Little, Herb Adderley, Bob Hayes, Lance Alworth, and Mike Ditka are all in the Hall of fame.
You forgot Staubach. And Cliff Harris since you posted.
And Rayfield Wright
and forrest gregg
Total domination by Cowboys.
Man Duane Thomas was smooth...what might have been, he sabotoged his own career.
@MelT W Years later he admitted to some insiders he might have done things a bit different. It's one thing to stand up for ones principles. It's another to alienate those who battled (along side him) that same system. Remember, even he realized that the Dallas Cowboys organization was cheating not just him-but for the most part-the whole team in terms of respectable salaries and bonuses. You may (or may not) remember, he tried to return to the NFL on at least two different occasions. But by then, his running and athletic football skills were gone by then. THAT is the tragedy of it all... of what might have been.
Thomas was elusive and quick for his size.
He wanted to get paid accordingly. Three things you don't talk about in life: A man's mother, his kids, or his money. I don't blame him for wanting to get paid.
Supposedly he went the whole season without saying a word to anyone; complete dead silence.
Called Landry a "plastic man"...and listened to much to his so-called mentor, Jimmy Brown...
Tribute to the Greatness of Lance Alworth. He could've just gone through the motions and got his Superbowl ring. Instead, there was no way in Hell he WASN'T going to leave his signature on this game.
Like the Cowboys and Alworth: the Bears should have let Walter Payton score a TD in Super Bowl XX.
@@drbonesshow1 The difference is however, Lance spoke up for himself, and told Coach Landry to have Roger get the ball to him. I'm not saying that's what Sweetness should have done, but it wouldn't have hurt.
The golden voice of Ray Scott. Along with the "voice of football," Pat Summerall. How can you beat that?!!
When the NFL was truly the NFL. Ray Scott & Pat Summerall called a good game. Walt with 74 yds/14 carries, Duane with 95 yds/19 carries & Calvin with 25 yds/7 carries did enough to open up the pass for MVP Roger, 12 for 19 for 119 yds/2 TDs. Doomsday defense played solid through out 4 qtrs. Iron men. Thanx for the upload.
Thank you so much for posting this game!!! Love the Cowboys!
It's a shame Landry didn't let Staubach play in the SB the previous season. Morton looked lost against the Colts pass rush, and I believe Roger could have been the difference. Dallas' defense forced SEVEN turnovers, but 3 critical interceptions by Morton did them in. To be fair, Duane Thomas' fumble on the goal line hurt, too. Had he not lost that ball, we might have won the game, as well.
Staubach's running and scrambling could have won the game for us. Craig was a good QB when he had a clean pocket, but in both SBs he played in, he was a turnover machine. This was Landry's only weakness, IMO - he couldn't see differences in his QBs. He thought that execution was the key to everything. He rarely accounted for the intangibles.
Once he was forced to choose Staubach in 1971, I think the blinders came off.
I love Landry, so don't think I'm being too harsh. But even great men have their flaws, and that was Tom's. He actually thought Gary Hogeboom could play championship level QB... LOL
He's the greatest coach of all time, IMO.
Peace
As a fan of both the Chicago Bears & the Dallas Cowboys, I thought it was cool to see Mike Ditka in this game.
Albeit Mike Ditka's retirement, 'Super Bowl 20' & 'Super Bowl 6' happened before I was even born, I still find Mike Ditka to be one of my all-time favorite NFL tight ends & both of these games to be some of my all-time & personal favorite 'Super Bowl' match-ups, but, those are all other stories for another time.
He almost scored two touchdowns in Super Bowl 6.

Had to be one of the sunniest Superbowl days that I could recall
Sunshine at a Super Bowl is just a rumor these days.
This was the game that made me a Cowboy's fan - Tulane Stadium, wow.
They removed the hedges from Tulane for the '71 season , probably because of the Super Bowl
Same for me. I was in Germany at the time, as my dad was stationed there. My uncle sent me a pair of Cowboys pajamas for the prior Christmas. My parents let me stay up and listen to the game on the radio. I don't have the pajamas any longer, but I do have a set of Super Bowl VI Cowboys glasses that belonged to my uncle.
The only NFC team to win super bowls in the 70's.
Not to argue, but... Baltimore and Pittsburgh were NFL (as opposed to AFL) teams who were moved to the AFC, along with Cleveland, at the merger. Together, they won 5. Had Landry let Staubach play, I believe the Cowboys would have beaten the Colts the previous year. Craig Morton was a turnover machine when he was pressured. Staubach was way better, but Landry liked Morton, and thought his system would rule the day.
The Cowboys had 5 HOFers on defense - Howley, Renfro, Adderley, Harris, and the greatest DT ever, Bob Lilly.
Howley is still the only player on a losing team to win SB MVP. This game was the only time a team did not score a TD until the Patriots held the Rams without one.
@@comfortat yes sir you are right. I think anyone who watches these old game clips are aware of the old NFL teams that were moved to the AFC. My comment was simple and to the point. You seem like a good person based on your reply and loves to talk about the old games that were played. BTW, some people forget that Minnesota won the last NFL Championship before the merger. Losing to the Chiefs screwed that up. Cheers.
A bad non-fumble call stole the previous Superbowl from the Cowboys.
@@StellarFella Craig Morton stole that Super Bowl. He was dreadful.
I liked Morton, but he was a turnover machine when pressured.
@@comfortat - He was playing injured. I hate to see that blocked pass of his when he had two receivers open to the left for a touchdown. He just had to loft it a tad higher.
And What a run by Dwayne Thomas
Dwayne Thomas was magnificent.
He ran so smoothly and used his blockers to perfection.
I remember watching this game live and that pitch out to him for a touchdown imparted the most triumphant feeling.
The Cowboys finally made it all the way!
First time watching Super Bowl VI, didn't expect the Cowboys to dominate the Dolphins. Was expecting something closer. Congratulations, Cowboys!
I did the Cowboys were the favorites going in they had more playoff experience although they had never won the big one until this game
Whatta performance by my Cowboys. Picking up their first and the very first 'Vince Lambardi' Trophy. They Dominated this entire game with the legs of Garrison/Thomas. Though Staubach's performance was fine. I think the MVP should've been either Thomas or Howley!
In back to back Super Bowls, Chuck Howley had 4 turnovers at freakin' outside linebacker. Amazing. He had 2 interceptions in Super Bowl 5 and remains the only player from the losing team to be named the Super Bowl MVP. In this game, he recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass by Griese. Despite his Super Bowl and regular season (e.g., 6 consecutive Pro Bowls, 5 time First Team All-Pro) accolades, Howley is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One could argue that Howley is currently the BEST player not enshrined in Canton.
He and Kenny Anderson.
@helpisontheway9405 Well...in his rookie year, Cliff was an immediate starter; he was a 6 time Pro Bowler; 3 time All-Pro; played in 5 Super Bowls in his 10 year career; 2 Super Bowl rings; the NFL's first "killer" free safety (e.g., physical at line of scrimmage and in the secondary); selected to the 70's All-Decade Team as the 1st team free safety; and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Harris was not a good player, he was a GREAT player.
I remember watching this game back then......I kept the sports page (from our newspaper) and the Cowboys newsletter from this game!
Am I the only gen z that loves watching vintage superbowls?
No your not I love watching old Super Bowls I have seen all 57 of them
One of the best superbowls IMO
Best for the Cowboys, not so much for the Dolphins
Chuck Howley deserved the MVP of this game. Great running by Garrison and especially Duane Thomas.
He won the MVP the year before. Not going to give it to a defensive player two years in a row.
This was the first SB I ever watched a kid. I love the old graphics. Gotta love the single bar face masks and the goal post in the field of play. They need to bring that back!
Manny Fernandez was one of my favorite players from my childhood. He had a really nice 4-5 year run. He was so underrated. This was the Dolphins 2nd playoff appearance and even though they lost, it was clear to see that they would have to be dealt with, and boy did they! If not for the"Sea of Hands" maybe they go to 4 in a row and win 3 in a row. Maybe they get "The Team of the Decade". They weren't the same after the defections to the WFL and their demise led to the Steelers stepping in the mid to late '70s and claim 4 Super Bowls. To a man, if you asked the Dolphins if they could do it again, and matched up with their best team and Oakland and Pittsburgh best, they would say they would beat them both. You know what???? I believe it! These were disciplined and very basically fundamentally sound Dolphin teams that wouldn't be intimidated by the Steelers and Raiders, and if they got down, had the weapons to come back! I focused my comments on the Dolphins because I believe the Cowboys reached their peak twice. This team, and of course their best team up to the Jimmy Johnson Cowboys era in 1977. However this Dolphins team would be perfect the next season and a notch better in '73 and got beat by Oakland in '74 and that opened the door for the Steelers. I honestly believe that if the Dolphins win that game against Oakland and not had 3 of there best players (Czonka, Kickk, and Warfield) they win a couple of more Championships and the 70's end up totally different!
Manny Fernandez looked like a more manly version of Freddie Mercury
They can say whatever. The 78 Steelers would’ve KILLED the 72 Dolphins.
@@fearthemunky1 Miami beat them in 71 72 73 with greenwood white Greene ham Russell Wagner blount that is 7 players out of 11 on defense also Bradshaw Franco harris
The Jimmy Johnson years were in the early 90's.
In the 1978 draft, Warren Moon went undrafted.
Staubach retired after the 1979 season.
There were at least three Super Bowls for the Cowboys in the 80's if they had drafted Moon.
@@mr.majestic2667I respectfully disagree !! The Steelers were minus 5 future hofers in that 72 conference championship game, Swann Stalworth,Lambert ,Webster ,Donnie Shell ,a pretty good cb in Jimmy Allen . Your quick to stipulate hypothetical notions in defense of the dolphins ,while selectively dismissing that fact . Pittsburgh morphed it's lineup twice during it's 70's dynasty, Webster and Larry Brown became permanent new starters by the time the second Steelers repeat occurred , Robbin Cole replaced Andy Russell , Donnie Shell replaced Glen Edwards , Steve Furness ,replaced Ernie Holmes , thats 4 probowl players positions that were renewed . The fg kicker Garry Anderson ,replaced a forner probowl fg kicker Roy Gerala halfback Sidney Thornton replaced a former 1000 yd rusher in Rocky Bleier , Stalworth replaced a future probowl wr in Frank Lewis . The Steelers handled the transition of talent better then the dolphins ,which actually is the most underrated contept ignored about the Steelers 70's dynasty because of the over permeating myth that the no exclusive free egency era meant every team carried all of its talent throughout a players prime years .The 72 dolphins were very fortunate to defeat that Steelers team without the benifets or Pittsburgh not possessing or hose 5 hofers and quality cb on it's roster yet .Every Steelers 70''s SB winning team and it's 76 team would have beaten any dolphins SB campaign team . Pittsburgh conquered the dolphins in the 1979 divisional rd with Griese , kuechenberg, Langler ,Mathison ,all relics of the dolphins SB teams , venerable talent in Delvin Williams ,Tony Nathan ,Nat Moore ,a elite defense , Bob kuechenberg pre game statements essentially duplicating your assessment , and the Steelers answered that biased proclamation with a 34 to 14 beat down . In no objective context would the 70:s SB winning Steelers be succumbed by the dolphins SB winning teams ,as previously mentioned I'd also include a reasonably healthy "Franco ,Rocky " 1976 Steelers team in this equation , that same 76 Steelers team who nearly shutout the dolphins in it's season contest victory vs the fins ,a team who still had multiple members still on its roster . That 1972 dolphins win , Pittsburgh rallied from a huge deficit and forced the dolphins to utilize giving up a safety to preserve by the skin of it's teeth a narrow victory , again , this version of Pittsburgh hadn't yet aquired the services of 5 hofers and a excellent reserve cb on it's roster . I respectfully disagree with your theory .

Football is not the same without Pat Summeral and his beautiful way of calling any football game.
He's the color guy here and he did a great job with his analysis and breaking down plays.
I agree.
We didn’t know how good we had it with Summeral, be it with Brookshire or Madden, he is the sound of football to me.
2:57 - Mercury Morris could literally run circles around Jim Kiick while advancing the ball down the field (especially on artificial turf), yet Shula didn't allow him to run the ball even *once* the entire game. What was he thinking?
SingleTax I agree, I was 9 years old asking my dad "why won't they let mercury Morris play"! And to this day I believe had shula played him, it would have opened up the passing game and warfield would have had a field day.

Bob Lilly has a permanent sack record for the most yards lost in a single sack.

Fox Sports permanently changed that in 1994 when they showed the score. Now, it is difficult to watch a game without knowing that imperative info.

It's not talked about much but the Dallas defense only gave up one TD that whole postseason---it's one of the more underrated SB winners ever
Good observation.
Here's another one. After this win, this completed a run of 20 wins and only 4 losses in their last 24 games, going back to Week 11 of the prior season.
One of those losses, of course, was to the Colts in Super Bowl V. Their other three losses were earlier this season, to the Redskins by 4 points, the Saints by 10 points, and the Bears by 4 points.
During this 24 game stretch, the Cowboys averaged just 25.7 points on offense, but gave just 11.7 points on defense.
They really did have quite a good defense back then.

I'm giving it to the Steelers of the mid-70s, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Staubach could run rings around Bradshaw, but otherwise I think the Steelers were superior.
@@johnphelan4215 they were great and Bradshaw was the weak point on that team. He couldn’t read defenses but was big and strong enough that it was hard to bring him down quickly.

when men in there 20s and 30s acted like men...not little kids....great game
And back then you could want a team to lose but not because of taunting OT showboating just because you may be a fan of the opposition. But you knew if the team you wanted to lose won they wouldn't be putting down the other team the way they do now. Most Ayers were true gentlemen and showed good sportsmanship after the game back then
You can also see slot of that in the 1978 Dolphins Cowboys game that was played in Miami that Miami won. Yeah Hollywood Henderson was in the game for Dallas but other than that the two teams just went out and played just lime in this Super Bowl
Jobs taken seriously. Most had off season jobs. Couldn't afford to get cut. You meant business on the field. No guaranteed contracts. Very little taunting. Players really professional.

Lifelong Cowboy's fan and never watched this Super Bowl. Thanks for posting.
I'm surprised it took the NFL so long to get the goalposts out of the end zone.
It's a wonder the regressives don't whine about that, the demise of the straight-on placekicker and the Super Bowl now being played in prime time with half the audience tuning in only for the halftime concert and the commercials. Players for sure are not allowed to smile, show any joy or have opinions about anything outside of the sport they play.
So true.
Before 1932 the goal posts in the NFL were on the end line.
Not until 1974
The goalpost cost the Redskins a year later when a Billy Kilmer pass hit the goalpost, if the Redskins score on that drive, it might have been a different game.
Super Bowl 4 was also held in Tulane Stadium but at that game, the field was real grass. Artificial turf was all the rage in the early 70s despite the fact the players hated it as it was like playing on concrete and joint injuries happened far more often compared to playing on natural grass
In college, Duane Thomas blocked for fullback Mercury Morris.
How ironic.
I don't believe West Texas State has a program anymore
Thanks for this. Walt Garrison RIP
How Miami made it to the Super bowl instead of Kansas City, I'll never know. Dallas' defense was magnificent; Landry's magnum opus.
