Not many due to Coaching, it was the QB play with an injured and terrible Craig Morton. Landry should have gone with young Staubach, even with his inexperience, he could throw the ball and couldn't have many any more mistakes than Craig Morton.
I'm not a Cowboys fan but Dallas was clearly the better team they should have won this game handly but that fumble in the beginning of the 3rd quarter was what hurt them even though Dallas had the ball all along if that miscue didn't occur, then Dallas would have beat Baltimore

If Landry had started Staubach Dallas would have had even more turnovers, Staubach even had an average at best 1971 also, only got semi hot the last couple of weeks, remember Landry alternated Staubach and Morton in 1971, going as far as alternating every play in a couple of games. Landry went with Morton because as of 1970 Morton turned the ball over less.
DON'T see why Coach didn't play Roger in the Divisional playoff game against Detroit .Morton had a bad arm in that game - and in this Super Bowl.That's the main reason they lost - coach didn't take Morton out.
Complete revisionist history. Staubach was simply not ready. He was given a chance during the season to take over from Morton and couldn't do it because he couldn't protect the football and Landry trusted Morton to better follow his game plan. Furthermore, Morton was not only hurt in this game but without his best receiver, Lance Rentzel. By the time Staubach took over the team in 1971, the team had added Lance Alworth and Mike Ditka. Starting Morton over Staubach had absolutely nothing to do with the Cowboys losing this game.

Thank you SO much for uploading. As someone who was born almost 20 years later (1989) it's awesome to see how things were back then. I mean I've seen the highlight videos from NFL Films but they just don't do justice to the original broadcast. It's amazing that as much as things have changed with technology and advertising the game of football itself has virtually remained the same
sorry. football has changed completely. corrupted. it was a running game in 60s and 70s, which is what football is supposed to be. 1977-78 corrupted the game. made into a combination track meet /ballerina tryout
@@davidabraxas3757 Agreed. It's a very different game today. I especially hate the holding that offensive players are allowed to do. That renders meaningless the high numbers that QBs produce. Back in the day, an offensive player who grabbed another player was hit with an automatic holding penalty or at the very least, illegal use of hands.
so is your mother LOL LOL LOL no what do you mean this is terrible reception I can hardly hear it and it's colors all wacked out just like your mother LOL LOL LOL sorry
Absolutely! Great quality. Amazing how much the play-by-play and analysis has evolved. Curt made mistakes along the broadcast and Rote was somewhat one-dimensional. Still, very enjoyable to watch the ‘71 coverage.
Landry never did like putting youngsters out there before they had matured. I know we we can all look back and think of Roger differently, it would gave been great to see what would have happened with him in there
@@fivehundrediq5212 Staubach was a great QB no doubt and had he played right out of college he would have been even better. However, my point is he didn't play exceptionally well in Super Bowls. He won a SB MVP with very average numbers and that award belonged to Dwane Thomas. The best pass of his other Super Bowl title was thrown by Randy Newhouse. He never really found a comfort zone in the 2 games vs the Steelers, of course QBs seldom did. His stats in the second game vs them were padded during garbage time. Of course winning SBs is more than just the game. The entire season needs to be considered, so I give him props for playing in 4 SBs. But he can be a bit overhyped
Some ten to 15 years ago it was assumed that only the first quarter of this game broadcast had survived. Now we see the pre-game and everything up to the beginning of the fourth quarter. Hopefully someone stumbles on the rest. Maybe Super Bowl II exists somewhere out there as well. I was able to find Super Bowl I (with the audio from one of the radio broadcasts) at Lighthouse Music and entertainment. It's unbelievable that execs at NBC and CBS didn't consider the Super Bowl important enough to save for posterity and taped over the originals to save money. Thankfully, people made copies. (in most cases)
The blue jersey looks lame compared to the classic white. But the Cowboys were so cursed back then, they CHOSE to wear blue to change their luck for this game. Didn't work.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Both jerseys from that time were great, however, some of us prefer the dark blue. The Cowboys didn't choose their uniform for this game. For the first 12 Super Bowls the home team had to wear their dark jersey and the NFL / NFC was the 'home team' in the odd numbered Super Bowls, thus why the Cowboys donned the navy blue (or whatever they called it at that time) jersey. Finally, there's no 'curse'. They adopted their white jerseys for their home games after 1964 (roughly - someone can correct me if I'm wrong) and most teams wore their dark jerseys in their respective home fields, so the 'boys rarely wore the blue jerseys. When they did they were the visiting team. So they rarely wore the dark jerseys in the late 60's and when they did it was usually against the Browns in Cleveland, who kind of had the 'boys number for those years.
I agree regarding that mythical curse of the blue jerseys. Nevertheless, those blues jerseys with the grey pants are very nice. Would be nice of the current Cowboys to wear as a retro uniform. Would be fun to see again.
Ram4 Actually, the reason the Cowboys wore blue was because of an NFL rule. The Cowboys were the designated "home" team for Super Bowl V. NFL rules dictated that for the Super Bowl the home team wear their colors, hence the blue jerseys. This game started the blue jersey jinx.
It would not have taken much. Morton had a poor outing. Among other things, he had two short missed touchdown passes in the first quarter and a interception that set up the winning field goal. Without those, if everything else goes the same way (big assumption), Dallas wins 21-13. It's hard to envision Staubach making those mistakes.
Did you watch the pregame show? Morton was playing injured. Landry showed some loyalty by sticking with the guy that got them there. It's not hard to imagine Staubach making those mistakes if he was also playing hurt...
No way. Blue jersey was no comparison to their white. They only wore blue for this game to break their curse and it didn't work. They never chose to wear blue in a Super Bowl ever again.
I always had heard the Dallas will not wear their blue because of a curse. Cleveland pounded them in 1968, I think, and Cowboys were wearing the blue. Is that when "the curse" started?
The Cowboys didn't 'choose' their uniform for this game. For the first 12 Super Bowls the home team had to wear their dark jersey and the NFL / NFC was the 'home team' in the odd numbered Super Bowls, thus why the Cowboys donned the navy blue / dark blue jersey.
As a life-long Cowboys fan, I can say without fear of disagreement, that this franchise is easily the most heart wrenching in all the major sports...it's not even close. Perhaps the Atlanta Braves of the 90;s-2000's might be second, but it's a distant second. From 1966 through 1985 Dallas won 208 regular season games, won 13 division titles, and made the play-offs 18 seasons. They played in 12 NFC[NFL Championship games, going 5 - 7. Appearing in only 5 of a possible 12 Super Bowls, they managed two wins, losing three others. Along the way, those teams had 7 HOF players (At least 7 others have been inexplicably overlooked, the HOF is famous for the absolute subjective nature of its judgements). Cliff Harris, Drew Pearson, Harvey Martin, Chuck Howly, John Niland are members of various All-Decade teams, Ed Jones, Lee Roy Jordan, Ralph Neely dominated All-Pro/Pro Bowl squads throughout those seasons. This period came and left a decade before the Jimmy/Jerry shorter lived, more intense, more dominant era. Those teams would have destroyed the previous Tom Landry teams. Yet while the original great Cowboys remained relevant for over 20 seasons, they won the biggest game a pathetic twice! The Jimmy/Jerry teams won the big game 3 times in 4 seasons. Yet in typical heart breaking fashion, the team self-destructed, blowing the chance for all-time greatness. That team might have won four or five Championships in a row But alas, they were -and still are- being led by the teams owner, the jackass that fired Jimmy. P.S. Under Jones' stewardship, the Cowboys have not even appeard in an NFC Championship game for 24 seasons. Oh well. I digress. Let's just say that this game is the absolute worst played game in Cowboy history...
That's how it seems, but some bias is probably at work here....throw in 94/95 nfc championship for worst quarter ever played against SF. Note, even refs said immaculate reception was not legal but they needed to get out of the stadium alive. id take 3/5 over 3/3 as team of 70s, plus they won more games anyway.
You said it all. I loved those old Cowboy teams from the late 60s through the 70s. Hey, someone needs to tell Jerry to bring back the silver pants. Those blue-green pants they wear now just don't make it.
Hey David, I'm not sure I understand your comment _"Appearing in only 5 of a possible 12 Super Bowls, they managed two wins, losing three others."_ That word "possible" and the numeral "12" is what is confusing to me. From the period 1966 through 1985, which you mentioned earlier, is a period that consists of 20 Super Bowls. (And yes Dallas was 2-3 during this period.) I think your statement should simply be, "Appearing in five of the first thirteen Super Bowls, they managed a record of 2 wins and 3 losses."
Thanks for posting this, Despite all of the turnovers this was actually a good Super Bowl, Loved those blue jerseys Dallas wore back then, Both Dallas and Baltimore were good teams in '70 Great stuff!!!
Kurt Gowdy & Namath “talking shop” at the outset is GOLDEN👍👍😎✌️⭐️ & Joe proved most insightful and prescient~ he obviously knew BOTH teams quite well, not only the Colts! Gowdy, Rote AND Namath would’ve been a SUPER trio in the booth that sunny day in the Orange Bowl!
I really want to say that I was surprised that Curt Gowdy never received the respect he should have got when retiring or when he died. He announced 7 Super Bowls and countless World Series games and I thought he was great.
Gowdy announced MLB better than football. In this game he couldn't hide his favoritism for Unitas and the Colts. Listen to his tone and level of excitement when the Colts received turnovers and made touchdowns versus his monotone dialogue when Dallas made their plays. Listen to the NBC broadcast of Super Bowl XI and XIII (his last).....he couldn't hide that he was an announcer for AFC teams and it really showed in SBXIII to the degree that it really made NBC think about replacing him. Summerall and Brookshire were way better back then. MLB was where he was best.
Curt Gowdy may have had an "AFC Bias", because he was an AFL announcer for ABC and NBC throughout the 1960s. These are the teams and players that he was most familiar with. These early Super Bowl games took place during the Vietnam War Era. Having an "anti-establishment" bias was a good way to appeal to teens and young adults during this time period. Also, the NFL, post-Merger, wanted to promote the AFC as much as possible, in order to help promote the former AFL teams; to make them acceptable and respected in the eyes of the American pro football fans. By the 1980s, the AFC was accepted by the NFL fanbase, and was no longer an issue going forward.
@@LaptopLarry330 ...and if you look at what LITTLE the NFC teams did in Super Bowls 7, 9 and 11, it all came from blocked kicks (Redskins in 7, their only scoring, Vikings in 9, their only scoring, Vikings in 11 when the game was still 0-0...they scored 2 worthless TDs when it was a blowout). If anything, his broadcast of Super Bowl 3 was pretty measured and reserved...he wasn't yelling about the Jets tacking on FGs. Gowdy was freaking really good I thought.
Curt Gowdy was a GREAT announcer. He performed well for Major League Baseball games (early in his career, he had a short stint doing play-by-play for the New York Yankees), and for AFL and NFL games as well. While he was at ABC, Gowdy was assigned a hosting spot for the outdoor hunting/fishing program, "American Sportsman". He continued to host that series, long after he left ABC as a sports announcer.
Namath was spot on with his analysis. Man, perfect prediction. Difference was the terrible Craig Morton, and the very good Colts defense who played like sharks following the chum of a subpar QB.
Yes, you're right. Although I did own a 1974 Chrysler once. classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1974/chrysler/newport/100852564 Just like this one, although mine was tan color.
Look I’m a huge Staubach fan but this opinion is lazy. It’s not like Roger was undefeated in Super Bowls. He lost two. It’s fair to think they might have won but it was in no way a sure thing.
I think the Cowboys win this if not for the Duane Thomas fumble on the 1 yard line in the 3rd quarter. No one recovered it for the Colts, but it was Dave Manders, the Cowboy center, who fell on it. The refs, in one of the most negligent calls in football history, followed the lead of the Baltimore players who were signaling they had the ball. Bad calls are part of the game, but this was negligence. With this horrible call, and lots of weird things happening, all going in favor of Baltimore, I'm not sure Roger could have won this game. It was called the Blooper Bowl for good reason.
Complete nonsense. Morton was the better QB at this time. Staubach didn't start a full season until 1973. Even in 1971, Landry alternated QBs until mod way through the season. In 1972, Morton took over for an injured Staubach and guided the team into the playoffs, before giving way to Staubach halfway through the divisional playoff game against SF where Staubach led a comeback. That was when the Roger Staubach everyone knows now was born.
John a 630pm (et)/330pm (west coast time)is not bad for a kick-off. Its the endless commercial breaks in which most SB's now end closer to 11pm in the east is the problem. The World Series should have at least 1 late afternoon game starting say by say 5pm et. It needs to start attracting younger fans.
Unfortunately, "more money" didn't make the game better. Higher scoring, maybe. All the rule changes in recent years to make the game "safer" has ruined it. Teams can hardly play effective defense without suffering heavy penalties. Offenses can score at will without fear of retribution. Just ask the guy with a hand full of sb rings (after February, he'll have to start on the other hand) Goat ? NAH
Always loved Curt Gowdy on Football and Baseball. No contrived, fake excitement. Just called the game and went with the emotion as the moment happened.
This game was played four months before I was born. First, I think there were less pomp and circumstance between Super Bowls in the past and present. Second, there were a lot fewer commercials which makes the game easier to watch. Lastly, I think the quality of play in the older days was better although the athletes of the present are more physically fit.
Nah, I remember reading in the paper before this game that the Cowboys had to wear their "un-lucky" blue jerseys. They had lost to Cleveland in the NFL playoffs a couple of years earlier wearing blue jerseys
I can't believe the quality of this video. I wanted to watch the game itself to see who was really better? No question in my mind was Dallas. A few bad breaks for Dallas, I thought the grounding was a bad call! Dan Reeves was in the area. The tip & Td was correct. The refs really screwed up on the fumble recovery. Dallas would have put the game away.
The grounding call was right!....the better team were the colts obviously when the got a decent qb in the game! When Dallas cant win a game in which the had 7!!!!!!!!! turnovers in their favor ....how are they the better team???
Dallas would most likely have won this game without the missed call on the fumble near the goal line. Dallas center Manders came up with the ball, and Colt players admitted that Billy Ray Smith pulled one on the line judge by saying "Our ball! our ball!" when he didn't have it, but was locked with Manders.
Bad officiating! They signaled it was Colt's ball because Bubba Smith and another Colt player faked them out by jumping up from the pile and yelling "Colt's ball!"
My two favorite Cowboys games with blue jerseys: 1. Cowboys 7, Eagles 20 (1980 NFC title) 2. Cowboys 7, Browns 26 (1979 MNF, week 4) My two favorite Cowboys games with white jerseys: 1. Cowboys 27, 49ers 28 (1981 NFC title) 2. Bears 44, Cowboys 0 (1985, week 11)
The Cowboys should have easily won this game. The turnovers they got and the only got 13 points out of it. Duane Thomas fumbling the ball at the one and just blowing so many opportunities gave the Colts the chance when the Cowboys made the turnovers. This should have been a blow out, but it wasn't.
The Cowboys played at the Cotton Bowl in 1970 in Dallas. They moved to Texas Stadium in the middle of the 1971 season in Irving. Since 2009, they have played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington but no Super Bowls since 1995.
the only time where a member of the losing team, won the MVP award...never will happen again. Imagine in present day...interviewing the MVP from the losing team and they come back with..."I'm going to Disney World..."
@@jbratt And that was a see-saw game that could've gone either way. That was the best Superbowl i've ever watched. So exciting. I was pulling for the 'Boys but oh well. Still a great game.
@@ronrositani9096 Ron East.. was the 5th Defensive tackle backed up the starters and special teams, he was upset this season because he thought he beat out the starter and everyone told him he did as well. I think Jethro was injured preseason or something and was much bigger. My Dad was small for DT probably should have played linebacker. He asked for a trade, this was his last game with Dallas. Landry later said my dad was the most aggressive player he ever coached. I Honestly think thats why he drafted Randy White DT, same size dimensions and aggressiveness.
2:24:47 Thomas possibly breaks plane, fumbles (if he didn't), then note the only colt that could have possibly recovered is #74-Billy Ray Smith (not Bubba), but replay it and notice he can't get both of his arms in. Manders is under #74-Smith and on the ball, he even hands it to the ref. I'd read he and others swore he had the ball, note the ref who called it Colts, not able to see. Definitely win the game if correctly called, but Dallas shouldn't have played this bad to make it close.
This was the first Super Bowl to actually serve as the now-unified NFL's de facto championship game. People forget the NFL actually had championship games since .1933, long before the AFL came along.
This was before they let the home team choose their jersey color. The home team had to wear dark jerseys. This is why the Cowboys were wearing their Blue jersey
Maybe it's me but Joe Namath during this time period and John Travolta during his Vinnie Barbarino/Welcome Back Kotter days look like they could be brothers.
Anita Bryant is the second person to sing in the Super Bowl halftime show the first were Marguerite Piazza in Super Bowl IV,Carol Channing did it in Super Bowl VI And Andy Willaim in Super Bowl VII .....
Glad to see the entire show. It was when the Super Bowl was still mainly a football game and not a circus of ads and entertainment with a football game thrown in. Of course the game itself has changed radically since the 1970s and over the years and I wouldn't argue that what now is "basketball in cleats" is a better game. IMO, the 1980s were the high point of the NFL. 5 stars for the upload and did any of you get a look at the early-70s hipster shirts Gowdy and Namath were wearing?
DALLAS was scammed in this game. Bad call REF with the JOHN MACKEY touchdown.Cornell Green DID NOT touch that ball -the ball itself testified that.If Green had touched it, Mackey would not not been able to catch the ball. It was last touched by a Colt - therefore it was a incomplete pass.Cowboys should have won that game 13-0. No wonder the Cowboys were upset.They got payback in the next Super Bowl in stomping Miami 24-3.
@FuriousMan226 Videos If either of those Cowboy cornerbacks had touched the ball,that would have interrupted its progress to Mackey - which it did not. Didn't see why the refs didn't see that.
This was the first SB I watched, the game started at 1pm and when it over we went outside and played football in the snow!
In Seattle this game ended I think before 2 PM. Now they don't even kick off until 3:30 Pacific time, 6:30 Eastern time.
That is so cool. My SB memories started the following year in ‘72.

so is your mother LOL LOL LOL no what do you mean this is terrible reception I can hardly hear it and it's colors all wacked out just like your mother LOL LOL LOL sorry
I know what you mean, and those pants too were cool I thought. Good defensive struggle and I loved hearing Fouty commentate too.
Absolutely! Great quality.
Amazing how much the play-by-play and analysis has evolved. Curt made mistakes along the broadcast and Rote was somewhat one-dimensional. Still, very enjoyable to watch the ‘71 coverage.
This was the only Super Bowl where Dallas wore their color jerseys.
Yes, considering that this is the TV video feed. If you watch NFL films footage it's much better quality as it was shot on 35mm film.
There was just a half-hour pregame show in 1971!
By contrast, Super Bowl pregame shows now extend seven or eight hours!
Dallas would have won if Staubach had started instead of Morton.
Staubach started 3 games that year and was terrible.
Landry never did like putting youngsters out there before they had matured. I know we we can all look back and think of Roger differently, it would gave been great to see what would have happened with him in there
Staubach isn't even top 10 all time passer rating in Super Bowls for the 4 he played in.
@@80steen44 Enough to win 2
@@fivehundrediq5212 Staubach was a great QB no doubt and had he played right out of college he would have been even better. However, my point is he didn't play exceptionally well in Super Bowls. He won a SB MVP with very average numbers and that award belonged to Dwane Thomas. The best pass of his other Super Bowl title was thrown by Randy Newhouse. He never really found a comfort zone in the 2 games vs the Steelers, of course QBs seldom did. His stats in the second game vs them were padded during garbage time. Of course winning SBs is more than just the game. The entire season needs to be considered, so I give him props for playing in 4 SBs. But he can be a bit overhyped
The last real big moment for the Baltimore Colts. The 1970 Colts were a young team yet by the end of 1975, only one player remained. Punter David Lee.
RIGHT !!!!!!!,
When Bob Irsay became owner of the team in '72 he screwed everything up.
Because they were in the same division as Shula's Dolphins, and also because they went 2-12 in 1974.
Good call. They HAD to win it here.
Some ten to 15 years ago it was assumed that only the first quarter of this game broadcast had survived. Now we see the pre-game and everything up to the beginning of the fourth quarter. Hopefully someone stumbles on the rest. Maybe Super Bowl II exists somewhere out there as well. I was able to find Super Bowl I (with the audio from one of the radio broadcasts) at Lighthouse Music and entertainment. It's unbelievable that execs at NBC and CBS didn't consider the Super Bowl important enough to save for posterity and taped over the originals to save money. Thankfully, people made copies. (in most cases)
The National Anthem, played by one trumpeter and the fans singing.....better than what we have now, for the most part.🤗
I wish the current Cowboys would wear these Blue Jersey uniforms from time to time.
The blue jersey looks lame compared to the classic white. But the Cowboys were so cursed back then, they CHOSE to wear blue to change their luck for this game. Didn't work.
The blue are nice. the current cowboys should consider wearing them as throwback. They did say they were cursed but I didn't see it that way.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Both jerseys from that time were great, however, some of us prefer the dark blue.
The Cowboys didn't choose their uniform for this game. For the first 12 Super Bowls the home team had to wear their dark jersey and the NFL / NFC was the 'home team' in the odd numbered Super Bowls, thus why the Cowboys donned the navy blue (or whatever they called it at that time) jersey.
Finally, there's no 'curse'. They adopted their white jerseys for their home games after 1964 (roughly - someone can correct me if I'm wrong) and most teams wore their dark jerseys in their respective home fields, so the 'boys rarely wore the blue jerseys. When they did they were the visiting team. So they rarely wore the dark jerseys in the late 60's and when they did it was usually against the Browns in Cleveland, who kind of had the 'boys number for those years.
I agree regarding that mythical curse of the blue jerseys. Nevertheless, those blues jerseys with the grey pants are very nice. Would be nice of the current Cowboys to wear as a retro uniform. Would be fun to see again.
Ram4 Actually, the reason the Cowboys wore blue was because of an NFL rule. The Cowboys were the designated "home" team for Super Bowl V. NFL rules dictated that for the Super Bowl the home team wear their colors, hence the blue jerseys. This game started the blue jersey jinx.
Staubach could have been the difference maker for Dallas.
Was thinking the same
It would not have taken much. Morton had a poor outing. Among other things, he had two short missed touchdown passes in the first quarter and a interception that set up the winning field goal. Without those, if everything else goes the same way (big assumption), Dallas wins 21-13. It's hard to envision Staubach making those mistakes.
Did you watch the pregame show? Morton was playing injured. Landry showed some loyalty by sticking with the guy that got them there. It's not hard to imagine Staubach making those mistakes if he was also playing hurt...
@@gimmeshelter1969 But Staubach WASN'T hurt. And loyalty is a dubious reason to decide your starting quarterback in the Super Bowl.
Craig Morton had 2 TERRIBLE Super Bowl performances. He was even pulled during Super Bowl 12.
Grey pants and bright blue jerseys - best Cowboy uniform ever and a classic.
No way. Blue jersey was no comparison to their white. They only wore blue for this game to break their curse and it didn't work. They never chose to wear blue in a Super Bowl ever again.
I always had heard the Dallas will not wear their blue because of a curse. Cleveland pounded them in 1968, I think, and Cowboys were wearing the blue. Is that when "the curse" started?
The Cowboys didn't 'choose' their uniform for this game. For the first 12 Super Bowls the home team had to wear their dark jersey and the NFL / NFC was the 'home team' in the odd numbered Super Bowls, thus why the Cowboys donned the navy blue / dark blue jersey.
Tommy Thomason absolutely agree!!!
@@Ram44incorrect, they were wore because they were forced to because they were the home team.
As a life-long Cowboys fan, I can say without fear of disagreement, that this franchise is easily the most heart wrenching in all the major sports...it's not even close. Perhaps the Atlanta Braves of the 90;s-2000's might be second, but it's a distant second. From 1966 through 1985 Dallas won 208 regular season games, won 13 division titles, and made the play-offs 18 seasons. They played in 12 NFC[NFL Championship games, going 5 - 7. Appearing in only 5 of a possible 12 Super Bowls, they managed two wins, losing three others. Along the way, those teams had 7 HOF players (At least 7 others have been inexplicably overlooked, the HOF is famous for the absolute subjective nature of its judgements). Cliff Harris, Drew Pearson, Harvey Martin, Chuck Howly, John Niland are members of various All-Decade teams, Ed Jones, Lee Roy Jordan, Ralph Neely dominated All-Pro/Pro Bowl squads throughout those seasons.
This period came and left a decade before the Jimmy/Jerry shorter lived, more intense, more dominant era. Those teams would have destroyed the previous Tom Landry teams. Yet while the original great Cowboys remained relevant for over 20 seasons, they won the biggest game a pathetic twice! The Jimmy/Jerry teams won the big game 3 times in 4 seasons. Yet in typical heart breaking fashion, the team self-destructed, blowing the chance for all-time greatness. That team might have won four or five Championships in a row But alas, they were -and still are- being led by the teams owner, the jackass that fired Jimmy. P.S. Under Jones' stewardship, the Cowboys have not even appeard in an NFC Championship game for 24 seasons. Oh well. I digress. Let's just say that this game is the absolute worst played game in Cowboy history...
That's how it seems, but some bias is probably at work here....throw in 94/95 nfc championship for worst quarter ever played against SF. Note, even refs said immaculate reception was not legal but they needed to get out of the stadium alive. id take 3/5 over 3/3 as team of 70s, plus they won more games anyway.
Forget about that one they did win SB VI one year later
You said it all. I loved those old Cowboy teams from the late 60s through the 70s. Hey, someone needs to tell Jerry to bring back the silver pants. Those blue-green pants they wear now just don't make it.
Hey David,
I'm not sure I understand your comment _"Appearing in only 5 of a possible 12 Super Bowls, they managed two wins, losing three others."_
That word "possible" and the numeral "12" is what is confusing to me.
From the period 1966 through 1985, which you mentioned earlier, is a period that consists of 20 Super Bowls. (And yes Dallas was 2-3 during this period.)
I think your statement should simply be, "Appearing in five of the first thirteen Super Bowls, they managed a record of 2 wins and 3 losses."
I completely feel your post!
Did anyone else notice a No 12 on the Dallas sidelines? A guy by the name of Staubach, on the sidelines.
The next yr he was unstoppable
Thanks for posting this, Despite all of the turnovers this was actually a good Super Bowl, Loved those blue jerseys Dallas wore back then, Both Dallas and Baltimore were good teams in '70 Great stuff!!!
Turnovers are sometimes a result of hard hitting, not always poor play.
I think this is one of the only if not the only super Bowl where the MVP was on the losing team and played defense...
@@2345allthebest , Earl Anthony?
@@jeffsteptoe9416 absolutely....one of my heroes!
You know, I think everybody who's commented on Dallas' blue jerseys prefer them to the ones they use now, and I agree. I wish they'd go back to them.
Man... I want to own one of those golf carts fitted with a football helmet.
Thank you for posting this. You're awesome
Kurt Gowdy & Namath “talking shop” at the outset is GOLDEN👍👍😎✌️⭐️ & Joe proved most insightful and prescient~ he obviously knew BOTH teams quite well, not only the Colts! Gowdy, Rote AND Namath would’ve been a SUPER trio in the booth that sunny day in the Orange Bowl!
Oops! Pardon “my bad” on the name misspell, I meant CURT Gowdy👍
Gowdy HATED when people spelled his first name with a “K”!!
I really want to say that I was surprised that Curt Gowdy never received the respect he should have got when retiring or when he died. He announced 7 Super Bowls and countless World Series games and I thought he was great.
Gowdy announced MLB better than football. In this game he couldn't hide his favoritism for Unitas and the Colts. Listen to his tone and level of excitement when the Colts received turnovers and made touchdowns versus his monotone dialogue when Dallas made their plays. Listen to the NBC broadcast of Super Bowl XI and XIII (his last).....he couldn't hide that he was an announcer for AFC teams and it really showed in SBXIII to the degree that it really made NBC think about replacing him. Summerall and Brookshire were way better back then.
MLB was where he was best.
He didn't? He's my favorite announcer
Curt Gowdy may have had an "AFC Bias", because he was an AFL announcer for ABC and NBC throughout the 1960s. These are the teams and players that he was most familiar with. These early Super Bowl games took place during the Vietnam War Era. Having an "anti-establishment" bias was a good way to appeal to teens and young adults during this time period. Also, the NFL, post-Merger, wanted to promote the AFC as much as possible, in order to help promote the former AFL teams; to make them acceptable and respected in the eyes of the American pro football fans. By the 1980s, the AFC was accepted by the NFL fanbase, and was no longer an issue going forward.
@@LaptopLarry330
...and if you look at what LITTLE the NFC teams did in Super Bowls 7, 9 and 11, it all came from blocked kicks (Redskins in 7, their only scoring, Vikings in 9, their only scoring, Vikings in 11 when the game was still 0-0...they scored 2 worthless TDs when it was a blowout). If anything, his broadcast of Super Bowl 3 was pretty measured and reserved...he wasn't yelling about the Jets tacking on FGs. Gowdy was freaking really good I thought.
Curt Gowdy was a GREAT announcer. He performed well for Major League Baseball games (early in his career, he had a short stint doing play-by-play for the New York Yankees), and for AFL and NFL games as well. While he was at ABC, Gowdy was assigned a hosting spot for the outdoor hunting/fishing program, "American Sportsman". He continued to host that series, long after he left ABC as a sports announcer.
Namath was spot on with his analysis. Man, perfect prediction. Difference was the terrible Craig Morton, and the very good Colts defense who played like sharks following the chum of a subpar QB.
That half time show had more talent, creativity, and wholesomeness than the last 25 years of half time shows combined.
I still enjoy the Frisbee dogs!
Can't wait to buy a 1970 Chrysler.
You mean a 1971 Chrysler.
Yes, you're right. Although I did own a 1974 Chrysler once.

Cowboys win this game with roger staubach playing.
Yes. Landry's folly!
Look I’m a huge Staubach fan but this opinion is lazy. It’s not like Roger was undefeated in Super Bowls. He lost two. It’s fair to think they might have won but it was in no way a sure thing.
I think the Cowboys win this if not for the Duane Thomas fumble on the 1 yard line in the 3rd quarter. No one recovered it for the Colts, but it was Dave Manders, the Cowboy center, who fell on it. The refs, in one of the most negligent calls in football history, followed the lead of the Baltimore players who were signaling they had the ball. Bad calls are part of the game, but this was negligence. With this horrible call, and lots of weird things happening, all going in favor of Baltimore, I'm not sure Roger could have won this game. It was called the Blooper Bowl for good reason.
Best super bowl ever
Complete nonsense. Morton was the better QB at this time. Staubach didn't start a full season until 1973. Even in 1971, Landry alternated QBs until mod way through the season. In 1972, Morton took over for an injured Staubach and guided the team into the playoffs, before giving way to Staubach halfway through the divisional playoff game against SF where Staubach led a comeback. That was when the Roger Staubach everyone knows now was born.
Back in the days when the Super Bowl was over by dinner time. Got a chuckle out of the 13-yard field goal.
They can charge the advertisers more money in prime time. Same reason the World Series and the NBA Finals are shown in prime time.
It really wasn't a big deal yet.
John a 630pm (et)/330pm (west coast time)is not bad for a kick-off. Its the endless commercial breaks in which most SB's now end closer to 11pm in the east is the problem.
The World Series should have at least 1 late afternoon game starting say by say 5pm et. It needs to start attracting younger fans.
Unfortunately, "more money" didn't make the game better. Higher scoring, maybe. All the rule changes in recent years to make the game "safer" has ruined it. Teams can hardly play effective defense without suffering heavy penalties. Offenses can score at will without fear of retribution. Just ask the guy with a hand full of sb rings (after February, he'll have to start on the other hand) Goat ? NAH
@@JohnSmith-kz8yo, not only that, the N.F.L. can over-hype the game better when it's played later(LOL).
Always loved Curt Gowdy on Football and Baseball. No contrived, fake excitement. Just called the game and went with the emotion as the moment happened.
This game was played four months before I was born.
First, I think there were less pomp and circumstance between Super Bowls in the past and present. Second, there were a lot fewer commercials which makes the game easier to watch. Lastly, I think the quality of play in the older days was better although the athletes of the present are more physically fit.
Hey me too - I was born on 5/22/1971
2/24/71
The day the Cowboys' "dark jersey" curse was born. . . . .A pity, too. That was a great-looking jersey.
The Colts have lost both Super Bowls in which they wore their dark jerseys, but won both in which they wore white.
Nah, I remember reading in the paper before this game that the Cowboys had to wear their "un-lucky" blue jerseys. They had lost to Cleveland in the NFL playoffs a couple of years earlier wearing blue jerseys
It started in 1968 in a playoff game at the Browns who won 31-20 and Don Meredith and Don Perkins last games
Thomas had 35 yards on 18 carries, great job of analysis by Namath.
I can't believe the quality of this video. I wanted to watch the game itself to see who was really better? No question in my mind was Dallas. A few bad breaks for Dallas, I thought the grounding was a bad call! Dan Reeves was in the area. The tip & Td was correct. The refs really screwed up on the fumble recovery. Dallas would have put the game away.
The grounding call was right!....the better team were the colts obviously when the got a decent qb in the game! When Dallas cant win a game in which the had 7!!!!!!!!! turnovers in their favor ....how are they the better team???
And Baltimore had 5 turnovers. If the refs got the fumble recovery right. Then would had been 6 for each.
@@gavriilnick4225 one answer....CRAIG MORTON
well bad call or not.....The cowboys were kicking a FG regardless....it was third down on that play....
Dallas would most likely have won this game without the missed call on the fumble near the goal line. Dallas center Manders came up with the ball, and Colt players admitted that Billy Ray Smith pulled one on the line judge by saying "Our ball! our ball!" when he didn't have it, but was locked with Manders.
Where was the replay of this fumble in this game? Pathetic!!!
@helpisontheway9405 If you said this to me years ago I would've thought you were insane now I totally believe you.
Boy, Namath was right on the money concerning this game
Ha ha gotta love Gowdy and Namath's shirts and those production values having them sitting on lounge chairs beside that pool.
They came back the next season - and cooked the Dolphins in Super Bowl VI 24-3 - so Staubach did get to shine.
Duane Thomas was the real MVP of that SB.
Baltimore Colts are lucky to win Superbowl V Dallas Cowboys did ok.
Bad officiating! They signaled it was Colt's ball because Bubba Smith and another Colt player faked them out by jumping up from the pile and yelling "Colt's ball!"
It wasn't bad officiating - it was rigged like all other Super Bowls.
@@dissinfo6358 so... what interest did the NFL have in putting the Patriots in nine Super Bowls in less than 20 years (with 6 wins)?
My two favorite Cowboys games with blue jerseys:
1. Cowboys 7, Eagles 20 (1980 NFC title)
2. Cowboys 7, Browns 26 (1979 MNF, week 4)
My two favorite Cowboys games with white jerseys:
1. Cowboys 27, 49ers 28 (1981 NFC title)
2. Bears 44, Cowboys 0 (1985, week 11)
and your FAV Cowboy Blue/White Jersey wins...?
The Cowboys should have easily won this game. The turnovers they got and the only got 13 points out of it. Duane Thomas fumbling the ball at the one and just blowing so many opportunities gave the Colts the chance when the Cowboys made the turnovers. This should have been a blow out, but it wasn't.
The Cowboys played at the Cotton Bowl in 1970 in Dallas. They moved to Texas Stadium in the middle of the 1971 season in Irving. Since 2009, they have played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington but no Super Bowls since 1995.
I watched it live I was 10
Very good quality video and audio for a recording so long ago. Remember watching this game.
Dave Manders' fumble recovery was nullified by a bad call.
Had Dallas scored on that play, the game would have been locked up
the only time where a member of the losing team, won the MVP award...never will happen again. Imagine in present day...interviewing the MVP from the losing team and they come back with..."I'm going to Disney World..."
Bullet bob hays ,fastest man in the game, just ashame they didnt have a QB that could pass
Bob Hayes had pure speed and stone hands
Namath the master of prediction!
Kenneth Jara yes. I believe he correctly predicted the first nine Super Bowls until he took Dallas over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl X
@@jbratt
And that was a see-saw game that could've gone either way. That was the best Superbowl i've ever watched. So exciting. I was pulling for the 'Boys but oh well. Still a great game.
3 future coaches playing in the game. Reeves Ditka and Perkins
And Bill Curry
The fact Joe Namath even predicted the Colts would win is insane considering the bitter rivalry they had 2 years earlier.
If Roger Staubach played, the Cowboys would have won I guarantee it
No they wouldn’t have, he was terrible in that season and Landry didn’t believe in him
I am thankful that there is a game on here just wish the 4th Quarter was here would like to see the entire game other than that great download
thanks for heads up, I stop watching
Heh. Wish that HAD been the last play of the game.
Howley was named MVP, and rightfully so.
This would be a good game to go to DVD or Blu ray!!
Landry shot himself in the foot by pulling back from the running game in the second half.
I was born that day and my dad was playing for Dallas and I've never seen this game. Thank you for posting!
Who was your dad?
@@ronrositani9096 Ron East.. was the 5th Defensive tackle backed up the starters and special teams, he was upset this season because he thought he beat out the starter and everyone told him he did as well. I think Jethro was injured preseason or something and was much bigger. My Dad was small for DT probably should have played linebacker. He asked for a trade, this was his last game with Dallas. Landry later said my dad was the most aggressive player he ever coached. I Honestly think thats why he drafted Randy White DT, same size dimensions and aggressiveness.
Namath would have been a great studio broadcaster. He missed it by a few years.
2:24:47 Thomas possibly breaks plane, fumbles (if he didn't), then note the only colt that could have possibly recovered is #74-Billy Ray Smith (not Bubba), but replay it and notice he can't get both of his arms in. Manders is under #74-Smith and on the ball, he even hands it to the ref. I'd read he and others swore he had the ball, note the ref who called it Colts, not able to see. Definitely win the game if correctly called, but Dallas shouldn't have played this bad to make it close.
@helpisontheway9405quit SHOUTING
AWESOME!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Chuck Howley is now a Hall of Famer
I doubt we’ll ever see a mistake filled Siper Bowl like this again.
This was the first Super Bowl to actually serve as the now-unified NFL's de facto championship game. People forget the NFL actually had championship games since .1933, long before the AFL came along.
First Post Merger Era Super Bowl, Cowgirls first Super Bowl, First Super Bowl to be played on Artificial Turf.
Mike curtis was a beast, he once lower the boom on a fan streaking across the feild,
This was before they let the home team choose their jersey color. The home team had to wear dark jerseys. This is why the Cowboys were wearing their Blue jersey
For Super Bowl XXIII the designated home team could wear whatever jersey they want its started from that game
@@michaelleroy9281ironically Dallas was the home team in SB 13
The pre-game programming started 30 minutes before kick off. Today it starts 30 hours before kick off. They had the hype under control then!
Morton blew that game.
Maybe it's me but Joe Namath during this time period and John Travolta during his Vinnie Barbarino/Welcome Back Kotter days look like they could be brothers.
Namath did play Dallas the next season and was pulled early as Dallas raced to a 28-0 first quarter lead and won, 52-10.
Wish this was the full game.
This is great. First ever Superbowl played on aftifical turf.
Another thing that stands out - no end zone celebrations
Thank you so much for posting my favorite game of all time. Baltimore's best!
YOU ARE WELCOME! THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP 3 FAVORITE SUPER BOWLS!!
hard to believe Dallas lost 54-13 and 38-0 during the yr to Minn. and St L and still got to the SB. Great defensive turnaround
They lost another game to StL 20-7
It wasn't widely publicized but Morton played the entire game under hypnosis because of his elbow injury.
There's a chance he played every big game under hypnosis!
Anita Bryant is the second person to sing in the Super Bowl halftime show the first were Marguerite Piazza in Super Bowl IV,Carol Channing did it in Super Bowl VI And Andy Willaim in Super Bowl VII .....
Morton lost this game as Dallas QB then 7 years later loses TO Dallas as Denver QB in Super Bowl 12
Namath was great, but did he have back issues? I don't think I've ever seen him stand or sit up straight.
Where is the fourth quarter??? It showed full game and ended after the third?
This makes we want to buy a 1971 Chevy if I can find one!
A 30 minute pre-game...ah, those were the days.
Glad to see the entire show. It was when the Super Bowl was still mainly a football game and not a circus of ads and entertainment with a football game thrown in. Of course the game itself has changed radically since the 1970s and over the years and I wouldn't argue that what now is "basketball in cleats" is a better game. IMO, the 1980s were the high point of the NFL. 5 stars for the upload and did any of you get a look at the early-70s hipster shirts Gowdy and Namath were wearing?
DALLAS was scammed in this game. Bad call REF with the JOHN MACKEY touchdown.Cornell Green DID NOT touch that ball -the ball itself testified that.If Green had touched it, Mackey would not not been able to catch the ball. It was last touched by a Colt - therefore it was a incomplete pass.Cowboys should have won that game 13-0. No wonder the Cowboys were upset.They got payback in the next Super Bowl in stomping Miami 24-3.
@FuriousMan226 Videos If either of those Cowboy cornerbacks had touched the ball,that would have interrupted its progress to Mackey - which it did not. Didn't see why the refs didn't see that.
Ah the early 70s...there wasn't a TV spot or ad they couldn't shove 'ol Broadway Joe into, was there?
"Buford, turn in your badge!"
Man, did THAT bring back some memories!
@1:51:06...the man who would replace Craig Morton the next season and would lead the Boys to their first Lombardi...I think we all know who it is...
45:36 A legendary head coach with two future head coaches.
Love the commercials too
does anyone know the name of the NBC theme music. It was also used for the 1968 world series (and likely other events).
Idk either but it was great horn riffs!
