That legendary steel curtain running out with the front four together. They used to show on NFL films all the time. That's the scene from it Even though I'm a cowboys fan. This was the greatest display of talent ever. The 78 one was truly that but 75 the Steelers defense still had Andy Russell and they were just loaded. I mean this was when you were allowed to play defense unlike now where the NFL's been destroyed by the rules. You can't have a great defense now. The Rams have all those good players on defense but they don't look very good when you watch them because they're not allowed to go all out or they'll get penalties called on them. This was when the game was at its peak
That’s every game nowadays if you DVR the games. Just have to be willing to not watch them live, which I am. I wait a couple hours.

Bradshaw never gets the credit he deserves for those 4 sb wins. He had a rocket for an arm, he pounded like a fullback and he called his own plays. The perfect Qb for the perfect team.
That's because he shouldn't get much credit for TEAM achievements. Further, the Steelers won the '74 Super Bowl IN SPITE of Bradshaw, who was benched numerous times during the '74 season. Bradshaw didn't become good/great until ~'77.

That was some sweet throw from Bradshaw to Swann...stepping up, reloading and launching a rocket while getting punched in the mouth...a real man's throw.
Not a penalty back then. Rules were very different back then especially how much allowable shoving and roughhousing there was between WRs and CBs! Look how the O-linemen block. They were not allowed to extend their arms full length to block or that would have been called a penalty. Illegal shift as we know today didn't exist back then. Also Bradshaw was hit in the face with a helmet. Would be a penalty and possible ejection in today's game. Why didn't you want to talk about a helmet to helmet dirty hit on Bradshaw that wasn't flagged?
I hate to say it (because of longterm health effects) but the game is much more enjoyable to watch back then. Less penalties a lot less commercials and just non-stop football. Lambert throws a guy to the turf for taunting his teammate: No problem, lets go play. Nobody walking on egg shells, no over thinking things. Love it.
My parents had this game on TV when I was 6 years old and wasn't into sports yet. I asked dad to turn the channel because I wanted to watch something else. But he was a Steelers fan and wouldn't do it of course lol. Mom didn't like football much but had a crush on Roger Staubach. So, I went along my way. Anyway, watching this full game for the first time brings back that memory. Mom died just 20 months after this game was played. But this was a great game, the way football should be played.

I was at that game and was 16 years old. Me and a friend saw a classified ad the night before to sell drinks. I didn't think there was a chance we would get in but we did. While waiting in line to get the job, we saw Franco Harris arrive in a cab and give the driver a $20 bill which was quite a tip in those days. Also we saw the Dallas Cowboys bus arrive with Tom Landry and Roger Staubach sitting in the front. We wore Zum Zum smocks as our uniform. We had to buy the drinks at a reduced price and they sold for 50 cents. I remember it practically broke me to buy the drinks and I was very focused on selling them to get my money back and not watching the game. In the 4th quarter we went up to the upper deck and there were plenty of seats and we watched the game from there. At that Super Bowl there were many people there wearing badges for the movie Black Sunday. At the end of the game Phyllis George, Irv Cross, and Brent Musburger were broadcasting in the stands. Me and my friend were standing on top of the rails in the stands so we could see and yell at Phyllis better. A Miami cop came and told us to get down and took our Zum Zum smocks from us. He told us you will never work here again. And he was right, but then we never tried to work there again. :) Great memories!
It’s surreal to see the famous Lynn Swann catch in its original broadcast angle after only knowing of the NFL Films replays growing up. Man if ten year old me had access to all the full games you can pull up on RUclips now, I would have been ecstatic! Better late than never for sure though.
The way Lynn Swann gets up and gives the ball to the ref as if he didn’t just make 2 of the greatest catches in history made it so much cooler. I’ve got nothing against players celebrating after making a big play but it’s not as cool as playing it cool.
Yes but remember, Franco Harris only ran for 82 yards in Super Bowl X. That's a decent amount nowadays, but running was most of your offense in the 1970s, even for teams like the Raiders that had a deep passing game. A book I read about these two Super Bowls, X and XIII (The Ones Who Hit the Hardest) talked about how the Cowboys were about the only team that had forced the Steelers to throw the ball. Even Mike Wagner said how much they needed Swann that day.
This was the first professional football game i ever watched. I was 8 yrs old. My first thought was the Steelers looked like the bad guys because their colors were black and the Cowboys were the good guys because they were white and blue. Bradshaw was the leader of the bad guys and Staubach was the leader of the good guys. Watching this game with my dad was an incredible experience. I'll never forget it.
It was the time when football was played by real men, and not man bunned primadonna's you see nowadays acting like morons with their weird celebrations every time they make a play.
and in 1976 the ADULTS were saying the young ppl then were acting like babies. this was almost 50 years ago. why would some old people today think that kid today acted like they did back then. get a grip
Typical cynical hipster response. NFL was more of a defensive game in 1975. That would change a few years later in 1978 with rule changes that benefitted the offense. That way people like you wouldn't turn it off to play Atari. This was when players were men and the officials let the games be decided by the players. Not a bunch of stupid rules.
When superbowls were in the growing period, still played during the day ,now it's a 'primetime game which makes it better for viewing love the old school though Steelers team of the 70's
4:30 That is a pretty impressive TD-saving tackle by little Roy Gerela, the kicker. Taking down a linebacker with 9.5 speed. The downside is that Gerela hurt himself on that play, which is probably why he ended up missing two field goals and an extra point that day.
The replay is at 1:14:01. I wonder if maybe the Steelers won the game at that moment. If Harris comes up swinging - maybe better for the team vibe than whining and pointing fingers like a four year old.
Lynn Swann may have had only 336 receptions in his career, but he made some of the most iconic catches in Super Bowl history - the reason he's in the Hall of Fame.
When you consider 14 game schedules, and an offense that ran the ball 40 times a game, with 2 RBs that both had great hands themselves, and the other WR across from you was great as well, i think it's a miracle that Swann had 336!!
Let's also remember that Swann only played 9 seasons (4 with 14 games, 4 with 16 games and the final an injury riddled 9 game strike shortened season) and for 6 of the 9 seasons, Swann was superior to Stallworth (certainly no knock on him). Imagine both guys in today's NFL..
@@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs Good point. It took him a long time to get into the HOF. If you take away those 3 iconic Super Bowl receptions captured by NFL films, it may have taken much longer, if at all.
Most people don't realize that this superbowl and the second Giants Patriots superbowl had exactly the same scoring plays. In both superbowls, the losing team had two touchdowns and a field goal, and the winning teams had two touchdowns, one missed conversion, two field goals and one safety. Both games finished 21-17.
cowboy fan here.............even though we lost,this was still the best SB I ever saw untill SB 51. Actually there were no losers really in this game. Both teams were great...........especially Lynn Swans great catches.........................
That unbelievably crooked '`pass interference call" that the referee Fred Swearingen threw on Benny Barnes, when it was perfectly clear that Swann slowed down and tried to cut behind Barnes and he initiated contact by tripping over the legs of Bennie Barnes in his vain effort to try to reach for the football - that one single play turned the game around when Dallas had the momentum and was going to win that football game. I found it odd that the still photograph that is used for this video before you hit play shows that very same play. Obviously who ever chose that still shot was a Steelers fan and knows full well that the call was crooked as a dog's hind leg, and is taking some kind of twisted delight in rubbing Cowboy fan's noses in how they got away with that dishonest B.S. That game was rigged.
@@augustusmccrae7714 what game were you watching? The Steelers were winning and neither team had momentum as the defenses tightened up after the first half. It was the correct call by 1978 rules..a no call today. But if this game was rigged, the Hail Mary game was too because that was blatant OPI on Pearson pushing the Vikings DB down. If it wasn’t for that Dallas isn’t even in this SB. If John Stallworth didn’t get hurt this game isn’t close because he was wearing Aaron Kyle out.
@@Biggdoom344 I referring not to the Super Bowl between Dallas and the Stealers in Super Bowl X, which was the year Dallas first implemented the shotgun formation and the team had something like a dozen rookies on it. The game I am referring to was Super Bowl XIII. And, on a crucial third down - where Dallas had stuffed the Stealers on two consecutive downs, on 3rd and long, Little Abner heaves a desperation pass downfield, supposedly in the direction of the pattern Lynn Swann was running, and due to defensive rush, the pass sailed too far towards the middle of the field. Benny Barnes had Swann covered like a blanket, and Swann had to slow down, and try to cut behind and underneath Barnes in a vain effort to reach the football, that was when Swann initiated contact with Barnes and deliberately tripped over Barnes's legs. The crooked referee threw a flag and called that pass interference was Fred Swearingen. I suggest you hit youtube and download that Super Bowl game and give it another watch.
@@augustusmccrae7714 why did you pick this comment to gripe about a 45 year old play that will never be changed? the original comment was posted by a rather fair and objective cowboys fan. im a Steelers fan. i love these old games. and i like watching how well Dallas played too.
That play at 131:51 , if Franco hadn't stepped out by an inch it would have been an 80 something yard td pass. Easily the longest td pass in superbowl history at that time.
My parents were at the game in the crowd at the end zone where Swann scored. It took Noll some serious giant size balls to go for it on 4th and 9 instead of punting. He knew he had a couple of punts almost blocked already and that Dallas was out of timeouts. He left it up to his defense and his gamble paid off. Had Bradshaw still been in the game they probably would have closed it out after the on sides kick recovery. I'm sure Terry would have at least thrown one short pass that went for enough yds to probably set up a first down conversion or maybe a bootleg run by him. Noll wasn't having Hanratty put the ball in the air at all. I'm a bit surprised though that on the 4th and 9 Noll didn't hand it off to Franco. Yes, he'd been contained that day but with him you always had a shot that he could make something happen and get lucky enough to get the 9 yds.
Noll said the reason he went for it was based on the fact Dallas nearly blocked two punts. I can’t blame him. The Steelers kicking game or lack of it is the only reason this game was close.
1975 a less stressful time😭?Liberal feminist movement , Vietnam war vets physical and mental trauma coming home from Vietnam , gas price increases , unemployment peaks at 9.0 ,Water gate scandal cover up , racial inequality fight , etc what are you people talking about in terms of a more peaceful ,less stressful time period ? The 70's decade was as every bit chaotic as any other ,a US .President literally gave up his term in office prematurely in this decade ! The false nostalgia mindset that people apply to past years/ decades always amusses me when the mantra " it was so much better then is applied to appease them " . Much of what is going on now was happening in 75 also ,no social media outlets were available to instantaneously afford the masses a viable outlet to emmediate or thorough information thus the perception of things being less toxic is falsely percieved by those who obviously weren't cognizant or weren't fully educated objectively upon social issues who now recount events with a blind fold .
@@haroldmccoy6580 Notice that I said a simpler and better time for the Super Bowl. But since you brought it up, while not perfect, the 70's beats the hell out of these days!
1:13:40 I never became a Steeler fan. But this was the instant I became a Jack Lambert fan. Absolutely loved seeing him take up for Roy Gerela. And I started this game wanting the Cowboys to win because the Steelers had beaten my Vikings in the previous Super Bowl. But that play by Lambert throwing Cliff Harris to the ground completely turned me around on this game.
Rocky didn't volunteer for Vietnam. I saw him in an interview, and he was kind of upset. Rocky said that the NFL was supposed to keep him out of the war and there was some kind of clerical screw up and he had to go to Vietyum. Lifelong Steelers fan and these uploads are great. I was just a young tyke when these games aired.
I can see why this was considered by many to be the greatest Super Bowl of all time, for the longest time. It really was a fantastic game. NFL Films highlight is really cool, but it doesn't do the game justice. If you're a real football nerd like myself, take the time and watch this broadcast in it's entirety. You wont be sorry.
What a game! Future Hall of Famers, everywhere you look. Lynn Swann was spectacular, the defenses, and Staubach throwing into the end zone on the game's final play trying to win it. This was the Super Bowl that made America sit up and take notice!
@@indy_go_blue6048 While the Jets/Colts III matchup did put the SB on the map, Ron is correct. This historic Super Bowl 10 game is what turned this NFL World Championship game into a semi "national holiday" in America. Plus replacing the MLB World Series as the most covered sporting event as well. Not to mention the SB phenomenon later spreading and becoming on an international level an unofficial holiday in Canada, Mexico and Much of Europe as well by the end of the 20th century.
Being a Steelers fan, great great memories. 2 dynasties slugging it out. I was a senior in high school and these teams seemed bigger then life. Again great memories.
Huge Props to CBS here. The camera shots, graphics and overall production of this Super Bowl was way ahead of its time over then current 1975-1976 standards. This video easily could have looked a NFL regular season game as late as say 1990. Plus looks as modern as any game in the pre full time on screen scoreboard now standard on all sporting events here in the 2020's. Plus a HOF broadcast team of Tom and Pat does not hurt either.
Never saw this b4. Bradshaw had some wheels (never knew he was able to run like that) and he made some clutch throws... He was really impressive and had quite an arm. And Staubach, who was one of my childhood idols - seemingly didn't have the ability to "Throw the ball away". He'd have a couple of guys chasing him and he'd just try to evade them but take sacks. + that 4th Quarter Int. on their end of the field really hurt. Hollywood Henderson was also quite an impressive athlete. Happy I finally saw this.
@@kiggss no it wasn’t most of that game was steelers dominance till the 4th quarter great game but to be the best you have to exiting all throughout which these games and the patriots and Seahawk’s had
Old football was so much fun, no stupid defensive penalties when the db touches the receiver once. Terry Bradshaw was a true legend. Did the TB 12 first
FYI: This was one of the three Goodyear blimps used in "Black Sunday" (Mayflower N1A). Filming of the climactic scenes were played on the week of January 29, 1976, just less than two weeks after the REAL Super Bowl.
Design I can easily see MLB bringing back at least 1 late afternoon W.S game quicker than the "prime time" SB. Only change I can see in near future is that the SB is moved up 1 more weekend to played on the President's Day Holiday Weekend in America since most people in the US are off the next day from work/school.
@@americangiant1003 You're kidding I hope. Most employers completely ignore the "little holidays" like MLK, President, Juneteenth and Columbus Days. The only ones off work are federal, state or municipal employees and banks.
@@indy_go_blue6048 At least it's more benefits to play on the President Holiday Weekend than the current set-up of the 2nd Sunday in February. It's a proven fact, that more Americans call in "sick" the day after the super bowl than any other non-major official holiday i.e January 2nd. While officially a large amount of people will still be at work, at least it's prevents the loss of manpower hours by playing the "Big Game" on President's Weekend. Some people have been calling for the SB to be played on Saturday Night which of course will never happen. The Sunday of that Mid February Holiday weekend is probably the best solution. FYI. Most Schools/College are already closed for President's Day as well. So yes Indy I am serious on that proposal.
@@alfiebruce8998 This game as of today, May 1, 2020 is 44 years old. Most of the players who participated in this game, if still living, are in their late 60's to mid to late 70's. Some are living well, some/all have some physical ailments from their playing days, some are deceased. Let's see if those players who participated in Super Bowl LIV how they're living 44 years from now, and see what effects the safety rules in 2020 have on them
The pre-kickoff introduction of Dwight White, Ernie Holmes, "Mean" Joe Greene and L.C. Greenwood (aka: The Steel Curtain) is one of the best ever! (Honorable mention: the '01-02 Patriots' entire team intro prior to SB XXXVI).
I loved it, too! The modern era- teams didn't want to single out anyone. "We are a team." = no intros. They tell the broadcaster they won't do it. Good concept, but I really liked the front 4 from Pittsburgh!!!!!
@@anthonybrooks1888 It was those Patriots that killed the individual intros because they didn't have the big names at the time unlike the Rams 'Greatest Show on Turf'. After the Patriots team intro, the Super Bowl never had individual intros again
The most jarring thing about this era of football is all the formation shifts, and the suddenness with which the offensive players do it. It feels at times like it should be a penalty for a false start, and with modern officials, it probably would be called that way. Props to the defenses for not jumping offsides like 50 times in this game because I keep thinking the defense will encroach.
On this Super Bowl Sunday 2021, I choose to watch X again instead of LV. This classic shows how football primarily focused on the game and not politics.
So much fun to watch games without having virtually every play going to a booth review - was it a catch or wasn’t it, did he make a football move or didn’t he, and so on and so forth. Just play the game. I’m loving watching these old school games! Hard hitting, just playing the game of football, great games!
@@drstephenbond1585 Part of it was trusting the defense, part was not trusting the kicking game. Roy Gerella sustained bruised ribs in the tackle on the opening kick-off, and Bobby Walden was inconsistent.

I never watched this Super Bowl.
What a great defensive game. Thanks for posting NFL.
first superbowl when the underdog lost but covered the spread
This is the best picture quality of Super Bowl X that I have seen. A+.
The way Lynn Swann gets up and gives the ball to the ref as if he didn’t just make 2 of the greatest catches in history made it so much cooler. I’ve got nothing against players celebrating after making a big play but it’s not as cool as playing it cool.
Deion Sanders was a particularly irritating showboat, among many others.
Some of the best football in the history of the game ! I watched this game as a child and it was great watching it again 55 years later !!
This was 1976, 44 years ago. Special Bicentennial patch on their jerseys.
@@CarlettoPuglia I only missed it by 11 years ! LOL
They uploaded it cuz were in quarantine😂thanks NFL
Ya. I always loved the Steelers. But if they sign Winston from Tampa bay I wont be happy.
@@IamVintage72 Well im a seahawks fan but yall got Winston not gunna be a good season for yall
@@bel398 ruclips.net/video/JoDp8t49wu4/видео.html
@@IamVintage72 im gonna tell you this now. They wont trade Winston(thank god) i think the steelers will be fine with Mason Rudolph and Big Ben.
yesssssssssssssssssssssssss....."THANKS"...
The Steelers could pound the football. Those blocking schemes were awesome.
And Swann’s catch at 17:10 - incredible.
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....
Yes but remember, Franco Harris only ran for 82 yards in Super Bowl X. That's a decent amount nowadays, but running was most of your offense in the 1970s, even for teams like the Raiders that had a deep passing game.
A book I read about these two Super Bowls, X and XIII (The Ones Who Hit the Hardest) talked about how the Cowboys were about the only team that had forced the Steelers to throw the ball. Even Mike Wagner said how much they needed Swann that day.
When Pittsburgh and Dallas played they were always great games
This was the first professional football game i ever watched. I was 8 yrs old. My first thought was the Steelers looked like the bad guys because their colors were black and the Cowboys were the good guys because they were white and blue. Bradshaw was the leader of the bad guys and Staubach was the leader of the good guys. Watching this game with my dad was an incredible experience. I'll never forget it.
@@surfshack2bro really
@@legogun_frank the truth. I was a little kid so I made up bad guys vs good guys.
@@surfshack2that was me when the Giants Played the Patriots ( Giants fan)
@@kingsproductions0 I’m assuming the Giants were the bad guys?
The Bears' 46 Defense lasted for a season. The Steel Curtain carried on for nearly a decade, the best D ever.
1:13:30 Jack Lambert throws Cliff Harris to the ground after he saw him taunting Roy Gerela. That was awesome!!
Prston Pearson...the first player to play on 3 SB teams. Baltimore, 1968 Pittsburgh 1974, Dallas, 1975, 1977
Great to see pros acting like pros and not acting like excited children every time they make a play. No stupid dances. No pre planned theatrics.
Also it’s nice to see real football not the kind where every time you hit someone it’s a flag
Bro hates players having fun
@@ec7057 you can “have fun” without acting like idiots. So many of the modern players’ in game celebrations are bush league.
It was the time when football was played by real men, and not man bunned primadonna's you see nowadays acting like morons with their weird celebrations every time they make a play.
and in 1976 the ADULTS were saying the young ppl then were acting like babies. this was almost 50 years ago. why would some old people today think that kid today acted like they did back then. get a grip
Who’s ready when these two teams face off at the 2020 Hall of Fame game?
I am
Alot more people will be dead. Sports are worthless
If there will be one
@@spookystone846 there wont
Life as we knew it is dead and gone
Preston Pearson and Roger Staubach cost the Cowboys about 40 Seconds by not getting out of bounds on last drive. That was terrible
Roger Staubach did not manage time at the end.
Let's play how many HOFers are on the field in this game
Too many to count
I can think of 6 or 7
I just looked it up, there are 12 HoF players in this game.
@@JayL3wis That's crazy. Thanks for the number
@@alexshuster461 Not a problem.
For the people who actually watched the whole vid....RESPECT!!!
people had attention spans back then
I've seen this game many times. Vhs tapes etc. Best quality I've ever seen of it.
Why would it be difficult to watch all the way through? It's a pretty good game.
Typical cynical hipster response. NFL was more of a defensive game in 1975. That would change a few years later in 1978 with rule changes that benefitted the offense. That way people like you wouldn't turn it off to play Atari. This was when players were men and the officials let the games be decided by the players. Not a bunch of stupid rules.
@@Bigchet1223 You talking to me? Because I literally just said nothing but positive things about this game.
1970-79 5 teams won all the Superbowls! Pittsburgh and Dallas won 6 combined! Good times!
Miami -2
Oakland -1
Baltimore -1
6 teams won a Superbowl from 1970-79. Pittsburgh and Dallas won only 5 combined in that decade.
It's about time NFL! You have a vault of NFL gold. Show it!
When superbowls were in the growing period, still played during the day ,now it's a 'primetime game which makes it better for viewing love the old school though Steelers team of the 70's
Steve Sabal hated it , he loved sunshine games for filming .
17:00 what a catch by Lynn Swann
It's always good game when these 2 face off
4:30 That is a pretty impressive TD-saving tackle by little Roy Gerela, the kicker. Taking down a linebacker with 9.5 speed. The downside is that Gerela hurt himself on that play, which is probably why he ended up missing two field goals and an extra point that day.
1:13:35. Jack Lambert’s legendary throw down of Cliff Harris.
The replay is at 1:14:01. I wonder if maybe the Steelers won the game at that moment. If Harris comes up swinging - maybe better for the team vibe than whining and pointing fingers like a four year old.
I miss going to games at the Orange Bowl. So much football history there. City of Miami should've never tore it down.
1:58:11, Bradshaw with that absolute CANON
Bradshaw had a million dollar arm and a ten dollar brain..lol
@@mikepatrick5909 called his own plays, won 4 sb, mvp twice of the sb, take that anyday....
Great game. It's easy to forget just how amazing both teams were on both sides of the ball.
Oh I'm glad they're replaying this. I missed it.
I like the history games... Please more
Lynn Swann may have had only 336 receptions in his career, but he made some of the most iconic catches in Super Bowl history - the reason he's in the Hall of Fame.
When you consider 14 game schedules, and an offense that ran the ball 40 times a game, with 2 RBs that both had great hands themselves, and the other WR across from you was great as well, i think it's a miracle that Swann had 336!!
Let's also remember that Swann only played 9 seasons (4 with 14 games, 4 with 16 games and the final an injury riddled 9 game strike shortened season) and for 6 of the 9 seasons, Swann was superior to Stallworth (certainly no knock on him). Imagine both guys in today's NFL..
@@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs
Good point. It took him a long time to get into the HOF. If you take away those 3 iconic Super Bowl receptions captured by NFL films, it may have taken much longer, if at all.
Most people don't realize that this superbowl and the second Giants Patriots superbowl had exactly the same scoring plays. In both superbowls, the losing team had two touchdowns and a field goal, and the winning teams had two touchdowns, one missed conversion, two field goals and one safety. Both games finished 21-17.
That’s great knowledge there.
cowboy fan here.............even though we lost,this was still the best SB I ever saw untill SB 51. Actually there were no losers really in this game. Both teams were great...........especially Lynn Swans great catches.........................
That unbelievably crooked '`pass interference call" that the referee Fred Swearingen threw on Benny Barnes, when it was perfectly clear that Swann slowed down and tried to cut behind Barnes and he initiated contact by tripping over the legs of Bennie Barnes in his vain effort to try to reach for the football - that one single play turned the game around when Dallas had the momentum and was going to win that football game. I found it odd that the still photograph that is used for this video before you hit play shows that very same play. Obviously who ever chose that still shot was a Steelers fan and knows full well that the call was crooked as a dog's hind leg, and is taking some kind of twisted delight in rubbing Cowboy fan's noses in how they got away with that dishonest B.S.
That game was rigged.
@@augustusmccrae7714 what game were you watching? The Steelers were winning and neither team had momentum as the defenses tightened up after the first half. It was the correct call by 1978 rules..a no call today. But if this game was rigged, the Hail Mary game was too because that was blatant OPI on Pearson pushing the Vikings DB down. If it wasn’t for that Dallas isn’t even in this SB. If John Stallworth didn’t get hurt this game isn’t close because he was wearing Aaron Kyle out.
@@Biggdoom344 I referring not to the Super Bowl between Dallas and the Stealers in Super Bowl X, which was the year Dallas first implemented the shotgun formation and the team had something like a dozen rookies on it. The game I am referring to was Super Bowl XIII. And, on a crucial third down - where Dallas had stuffed the Stealers on two consecutive downs, on 3rd and long, Little Abner heaves a desperation pass downfield, supposedly in the direction of the pattern Lynn Swann was running, and due to defensive rush, the pass sailed too far towards the middle of the field. Benny Barnes had Swann covered like a blanket, and Swann had to slow down, and try to cut behind and underneath Barnes in a vain effort to reach the football, that was when Swann initiated contact with Barnes and deliberately tripped over Barnes's legs. The crooked referee threw a flag and called that pass interference was Fred Swearingen.
I suggest you hit youtube and download that Super Bowl game and give it another watch.
@@augustusmccrae7714 why did you pick this comment to gripe about a 45 year old play that will never be changed? the original comment was posted by a rather fair and objective cowboys fan. im a Steelers fan. i love these old games. and i like watching how well Dallas played too.
That play at 131:51 , if Franco hadn't stepped out by an inch it would have been an 80 something yard td pass. Easily the longest td pass in superbowl history at that time.
56 degrees in the late afternoon in Miami? That's freezing for those folks..lol
As I recall it was chilly all over the country that weekend. I'm from Phoenix and it was about 58 when it should have been 65-70.
Funny, it was unseasonably warm in PA. Temp in the low 40s and sunny.
I remember the game vividly. We lived a few blocks from the iconic Orange Bowl during the 70s. We could hear the fans screaming.
My parents were at the game in the crowd at the end zone where Swann scored. It took Noll some serious giant size balls to go for it on 4th and 9 instead of punting. He knew he had a couple of punts almost blocked already and that Dallas was out of timeouts. He left it up to his defense and his gamble paid off. Had Bradshaw still been in the game they probably would have closed it out after the on sides kick recovery. I'm sure Terry would have at least thrown one short pass that went for enough yds to probably set up a first down conversion or maybe a bootleg run by him. Noll wasn't having Hanratty put the ball in the air at all. I'm a bit surprised though that on the 4th and 9 Noll didn't hand it off to Franco. Yes, he'd been contained that day but with him you always had a shot that he could make something happen and get lucky enough to get the 9 yds.
Noll said the reason he went for it was based on the fact Dallas nearly blocked two punts. I can’t blame him. The Steelers kicking game or lack of it is the only reason this game was close.
Film quality is SPECTACULAR!
Mark Washington didn't have bad coverage on Swann. The balls were right on target, and Swann made great catches.
and that's why Bradshaw is THE REAL TB12
A much simpler and better time, for the Super Bowl!
You're right, too much drama today
1975 a less stressful time😭?Liberal feminist movement , Vietnam war vets physical and mental trauma coming home from Vietnam , gas price increases , unemployment peaks at 9.0 ,Water gate scandal cover up , racial inequality fight , etc what are you people talking about in terms of a more peaceful ,less stressful time period ? The 70's decade was as every bit chaotic as any other ,a US .President literally gave up his term in office prematurely in this decade ! The false nostalgia mindset that people apply to past years/ decades always amusses me when the mantra " it was so much better then is applied to appease them " . Much of what is going on now was happening in 75 also ,no social media outlets were available to instantaneously afford the masses a viable outlet to emmediate or thorough information thus the perception of things being less toxic is falsely percieved by those who obviously weren't cognizant or weren't fully educated objectively upon social issues who now recount events with a blind fold .
@@haroldmccoy6580 Notice that I said a simpler and better time for the Super Bowl. But since you brought it up, while not perfect, the 70's beats the hell out of these days!
AND A MUCH SIMPLER AND BETTER TIME IN AMERICA...
@@haroldmccoy6580 Blah Blah Blah
Wow NFL. You really killing it with these uploads
Ye
Why is that?
70's NFL was the best..
1:13:40 I never became a Steeler fan. But this was the instant I became a Jack Lambert fan. Absolutely loved seeing him take up for Roy Gerela. And I started this game wanting the Cowboys to win because the Steelers had beaten my Vikings in the previous Super Bowl. But that play by Lambert throwing Cliff Harris to the ground completely turned me around on this game.
Jack Lambert's standing up for Roy Gerela is the unofficial Play of the Game. It was a clear-cut message to the Cowboys.
Rocky didn't volunteer for Vietnam. I saw him in an interview, and he was kind of upset. Rocky said that the NFL was supposed to keep him out of the war and there was some kind of clerical screw up and he had to go to Vietyum. Lifelong Steelers fan and these uploads are great. I was just a young tyke when these games aired.
Homeboy almost got his shi rocked at 2:16:23 😂😭
I can see why this was considered by many to be the greatest Super Bowl of all time, for the longest time. It really was a fantastic game. NFL Films highlight is really cool, but it doesn't do the game justice. If you're a real football nerd like myself, take the time and watch this broadcast in it's entirety. You wont be sorry.
Coach Landry dressed sharp as usual
What a game! Future Hall of Famers, everywhere you look. Lynn Swann was spectacular, the defenses, and Staubach throwing into the end zone on the game's final play trying to win it. This was the Super Bowl that made America sit up and take notice!
I thought the Jets-Colts was supposed to have done that?
@@indy_go_blue6048 While the Jets/Colts III matchup did put the SB on the map, Ron is correct. This historic Super Bowl 10 game is what turned this NFL World Championship game into a semi "national holiday" in America. Plus replacing the MLB World Series as the most covered sporting event as well. Not to mention the SB phenomenon later spreading and becoming on an international level an unofficial holiday in Canada, Mexico and Much of Europe as well by the end of the 20th century.
Being a Steelers fan, great great memories. 2 dynasties slugging it out. I was a senior in high school and these teams seemed bigger then life. Again great memories.
Huge Props to CBS here. The camera shots, graphics and overall production of this Super Bowl was way ahead of its time over then current 1975-1976 standards. This video easily could have looked a NFL regular season game as late as say 1990. Plus looks as modern as any game in the pre full time on screen scoreboard now standard on all sporting events here in the 2020's. Plus a HOF broadcast team of Tom and Pat does not hurt either.
Probably best version. I've seen of this game. Quality wise.
Never saw this b4. Bradshaw had some wheels (never knew he was able to run like that) and he made some clutch throws... He was really impressive and had quite an arm. And Staubach, who was one of my childhood idols - seemingly didn't have the ability to "Throw the ball away". He'd have a couple of guys chasing him and he'd just try to evade them but take sacks. + that 4th Quarter Int. on their end of the field really hurt. Hollywood Henderson was also quite an impressive athlete. Happy I finally saw this.
The Steelers and the Cowboys I think had the best and the most exciting superbowls ever, 10&13.
They were epic games
Don’t sit here and lie the cardinals and Steelers was the most exciting
@@kiggss no it wasn’t most of that game was steelers dominance till the 4th quarter great game but to be the best you have to exiting all throughout which these games and the patriots and Seahawk’s had
What about SB 30?
@@kiggss the best played SB w the Steelers was SB 13. Actually the most exciting was SB 14 v the rams. That game went back bad forth all day.
Old football was so much fun, no stupid defensive penalties when the db touches the receiver once. Terry Bradshaw was a true legend. Did the TB 12 first
Bring back daytime Super Bowls! And player intros!
Night time superbowls are better
Agreed, 100%
Bring back the old players lol.
Man that video looks good! I was 11 when this game was played watchin' with my Dad & my younger lifelong Cowboys fan brother.
FYI: This was one of the three Goodyear blimps used in "Black Sunday" (Mayflower N1A). Filming of the climactic scenes were played on the week of January 29, 1976, just less than two weeks after the REAL Super Bowl.
They filmed real footage of the game as well.
Bring back daytime Super Bowl starting times, and also MLB playoff and W.S. daytime games!
Design I can easily see MLB bringing back at least 1 late afternoon W.S game quicker than the "prime time" SB.
Only change I can see in near future is that the SB is moved up 1 more weekend to played on the President's Day Holiday Weekend in America since most people in the US are off the next day from work/school.
@@americangiant1003 You're kidding I hope. Most employers completely ignore the "little holidays" like MLK, President, Juneteenth and Columbus Days. The only ones off work are federal, state or municipal employees and banks.
@@indy_go_blue6048 At least it's more benefits to play on the President Holiday Weekend than the current set-up of the 2nd Sunday in February. It's a proven fact, that more Americans call in "sick" the day after the super bowl than any other non-major official holiday i.e January 2nd.
While officially a large amount of people will still be at work, at least it's prevents the loss of manpower hours by playing the "Big Game" on President's Weekend. Some people have been calling for the SB to be played on Saturday Night which of course will never happen. The Sunday of that Mid February Holiday weekend is probably the best solution. FYI. Most Schools/College are already closed for President's Day as well. So yes Indy I am serious on that proposal.
@@americangiant1003 I HOPE Roger Goodell doesn't get knowledge of what you wrote. Don't give him any more bad ideas. 🙄🙄🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

Superbowl 12 between Dallas and Denver was the first Superbowl broadcast in prime time (5:00 eastern)
Ah the good old days when coaches smoked cigarettes on the sidelines
( around the 2:09:00 mark )
This was when football was still a real man's sport !!
Yeah but pretty sure players nowadays will be glad they dont all suffer from cte and other mental illnesses just for ur entertainment
Yes because if half the field doesnt have a concussion or slight brain damage its not a real man's sport
Alfie Bruce they are more effeminate nowadays.
@@alfiebruce8998 This game as of today, May 1, 2020 is 44 years old. Most of the players who participated in this game, if still living, are in their late 60's to mid to late 70's.

Let's see if those players who participated in Super Bowl LIV how they're living 44 years from now, and see what effects the safety rules in 2020 have on them

Loved those intros! Bring that back!!
The pre-kickoff introduction of Dwight White, Ernie Holmes, "Mean" Joe Greene and L.C. Greenwood (aka: The Steel Curtain) is one of the best ever! (Honorable mention: the '01-02 Patriots' entire team intro prior to SB XXXVI).
I loved it, too! The modern era- teams didn't want to single out anyone. "We are a team." = no intros. They tell the broadcaster they won't do it. Good concept, but I really liked the front 4 from Pittsburgh!!!!!
@@anthonybrooks1888 It was those Patriots that killed the individual intros because they didn't have the big names at the time unlike the Rams 'Greatest Show on Turf'. After the Patriots team intro, the Super Bowl never had individual intros again
you gotta give it up to the nfl for releasing all this gold
yessssssss uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu do.....
Who else is here watching this, because the coronavirus is keeping them from going to work.🤔
Not me, my job is "essential" 😒
I know a job that's is good making youtube videos
I'm can't even play my football
You can still go outside just not to a public place
Special game for me. I'd arrive here, virus or not. I was 10 , and I wanted Dallas to win so bad. Opening kickoff so exciting.
The most jarring thing about this era of football is all the formation shifts, and the suddenness with which the offensive players do it. It feels at times like it should be a penalty for a false start, and with modern officials, it probably would be called that way. Props to the defenses for not jumping offsides like 50 times in this game because I keep thinking the defense will encroach.
Wow the 10th Super Bowl! This was a good game 🍺
RIP Franco Harris you will always be the best running back in Steelers history
Thanks for putting this out. Awesome!

these two teams were the nfl from 70-80
So much fun to watch games without having virtually every play going to a booth review - was it a catch or wasn’t it, did he make a football move or didn’t he, and so on and so forth. Just play the game. I’m loving watching these old school games! Hard hitting, just playing the game of football, great games!
As I’m watching this, it’s remarkable how much the game has changed from then till now.
That last Dallas drive was atrocious clock management. You got 1:22 left and you run 5 plays.
The fact Chuck Noll went on 4th down and trusted his defense was amazing!
@@drstephenbond1585 Part of it was trusting the defense, part was not trusting the kicking game. Roy Gerella sustained bruised ribs in the tackle on the opening kick-off, and Bobby Walden was inconsistent.
Stephen Bond who wouldn’t trust this defense
You were not allowed to spike the ball back then so this was the best you could do
@@littlekeed2 No, they couldn't spike the ball, but when they wanted to stop the clock, they overthrew the wide receiver near the sidelines.
