For some reason, this Super Bowl game resonates something special about NFL football at its best at the time.

Staubach’s fierce competitiveness & leadership that instilled contagious “belief” in his teammates as demonstrated in the final 6mins of this game was the reason Landry’s ingenuous “system” thrived mercilessly & into five Super Bowls in the ‘70’s. After this game and upon Staubach’s retirement after the following (‘79) season, Landry’s Cowboys never returned to another Super Bowl (thru ‘89).

@gregford2103

Landry's system worked in the 1960s and 1970s because he had players, such as Staubach, who were willing to improvise. That was especially true on defense, where the linebackers and safeties often would stray from the play call because they saw something in the offensive formation. Staubach often would do that with pass plays, telling his receivers to either take it deep or cut off a route, depending on how the opposing defense was lined up. Once Staubach and others left, the Cowboys' system started to deteriorate, and Landry made no attempt to fix or alter it.

Had Drew gone 10 more yards, Landry calls a running play to get Septien in position to kick Dallas to another Super Bowl. Mysteriously, the one player Dallas was missing post Staubach wasn't Staubach. It was Hollywood Henderson. with him, they went to SB X, XII and XIII. Without him, nothing.

This is the first Super Bowl I remember watching, what an era for football, none of the shenanigans of today's game.

Another thing was in Skip Bayless' book about Tom Landry, "God's Coach", Terry Bradshaw pretty much admitted that he knew how to beat the Flex defense. He knew that Dallas was geared for the run on first downs, so Bradshaw came out throwing on first down.

I was there got in at half time for 10 bucks from a scalper 50 yard line 4 rows back what a great game.

Years later, I saw Jackie Smith tearing up as recalled the drop. Probably because it's impact on the game is the most overstated in NFL history. It was the end of the third quarter and the Cowboys got a FG out the drive. There was a whole quarter left in the game, your down by four, and the reason you lost is because of a dropped pass in the third quarter? I wish there was a clip of a receiver reacting the same way as Staubach did after a Staubach interception. Nobody says anything about Randy White suddenly thinking he's a RB and wisely carrying the ball with his casted hand. Yeah, Smith shoulda caught it. But that ain't why they lost. Not even close to a good excuse. Late in the fourth quarter ok, but not late in the third. Buck up and go win the game.

Luckily Ferragamo threw into coverage and ignored a wide open Billy Waddy for an easy touchdown

Just my opinion this was the greatest super bowl ever. Even though I was a Dallas cowboy fan

10:28--Notice the clever adaptation of Chopin's "Polonaise Heroique" from this point and following. Also, at 11:52, on the far right of the screen, there is what looks to be a Polish flag!

I also like how they incorporate the commentary by Verne Lundquist (this game had the "sickest man in America" line for Jackie Smith) and Myron Cope into the film to complement the flawless narration of John Facenda.

This was the game of games. Great teams playing for keeps. Dallas was a great team. Steelers were just a little better. Not just this game but in SB 10, 28-13 beating of Dallas in 77 then in the SB 13 rematch 14-3. Dallas was 1-4 v the Steelers in the 70s.

Greatest super bowl of all time...idc what anybody says. This was a grudge match. Aggressive, down and dirty classic football.

Wish I had seen this one live. Love my Cowboys!!! I think the main thing separating those teams was probably the weakness in the Cowboys secondary. It also got worse in the early 80s and that combined with the loss of Staubach kept us out of the Super Bowl 3 years in a row

15:30 is still my favorite. That stare down.

The td pass that Bradshaw threw to Rocky Blair right before half to make the score 21 to 14 looks a lot like the pass that Joe Montana threw against Dallas in 1981"the catch"

That attempt to tackle Stallworth on the 75 yard TD pass is hilarious.

I am the only person in America who thinks it's not Jackie Smith's fault that the Cowboys lost the Super Bowl. The real killer was the Randy White fumble which led to Lynn Swann's masterful touchdown.

@mmcneil777

I don't think it was Jackie Smith's fault, but it seemed to knock the air out of the Cowboys. It had something to do with Landry's response or, even, lack of response. I could picture someone like Jimmy Johnson, sensing it having an adverse emotional effect on the Cowboys, and him making sure to rally back there confidence. "We got this boys!", I could here Jimmy yelling at them. However, Landry was more stoic and he didn't really address it 'on the fly' the way he should have, in my opinion. Someone like Bill Walsh would have made sure they Cowboys maintained their composure. The Cowboys were incredible during this time, but they were sometimes a little erractic emotionally and in their fundamentals, surprisingly...

This was a tough loss . I was so proud of how the Cowboys did not give up after being 18 down. This is one of the best Super Bowls ever. 17 years later the Cowboys would beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Third super bowl win out of 4 years

Such a great matchup and really a "pick em ".....was the 1st superbowl I actually watched and since then there have been very few superbowls that were so evenly matched up. I did pick the Steelers but it was nothing more than a lucky guess.

Hey Dallas, that wasn't Denver and Craig Morton! Its the STEELERS, SON! Seriously, Dallas and Pittsburgh had some incredible teams.

@@ksivad5634 Hmmmm...I really hit a nerve...GOOOOD!!. Ignorance? Let's deal with the facts. During Tatum's career, he played against Swann six times and Swann never posted a 100-yard game, set NO records, and scored ONE touchdown. Additionally, he actually cried on a court witness stand saying he feared for his life playing against Tatum and Atkinson. Meanwhile, after Swann got thumped badly by Tatum and Atkinson in the AFC Title game (leaving him questionable to even play in Super Bowl X), Harris foolishly calls out Lynn Swann and punctuated it with THIS crazy claim: "If Swann thinks he got hit by the Raiders secondary, wait 'til he plays the Cowboys." Swann's performance--Super Bowl records 161 receiving yards, game-winning TD gives a good indication of the quality of Harris' performance. It also showed whose secondary was better and whose safeties were more feared. In five games vs. Cliff Harris Swann had multiple 100-yard games and scored three TDs. It could be argued the Dallas Cowboys put Lynn Swann in the Hall of Fame. Harris was given--not earned, GIVEN--Jack Tatum's spot on the All-Decade Team of the '70s. That is the ONLY reason Harris' sorry, overrated ass was brought into the Hall. Tatum and Harris each played ten years in the same era as free safeties. Harris could only muster 29 INTs. Tatum, not known as a pass thief, tallied 37. Harris best season was five picks. Tatum had six INTs one year and seven INTs his final year. Tatum was a first round draft pick. Harris was an undrafted free agent. Racism, you ask? Well let's examine that. The Hall of Fame writers also vote on the All-Decade Teams. The '70s secondary had eight spots available: four corners, four safeties. The corners were Willie Brown, Jimmy Johnson (not the coach), Louis Wright, and Roger Werli. The safeties were Dick Anderson, Ken Houston, Larry Wilson, and Harris' sorry ass. Let that settle for a second. These writers (all White...what a coincidence 🙄) obviously didn't want any predominately Black or (God forbid) all-Black units on the defense. Let's take the corners. Roger Werli over Mel Blount? Blount was THE dominant corner from the mid-70s on. The Cardinals defenses were comical in the 70s. Which leads us to the safeties. Because of the negative image placed on Tatum (Steelers Head Coach Chuck Noll's "criminal element" statement; Darryl Stingley injury), the writers desperately looked for other safeties to put on the 70s team. They found Harris' overrated ass and Larry Wilson. Wilson, 70s-wise played from 1970-72, making only ONE Pro Bowl. If the writers were so big on keeping Tatum (or Spider Lockhart, Glen Edwards, and Donnie Shell, for that matter) off the '70s team they should have gone with Paul Krause, Jake Scott, Tommy Casanova, or Mike Wagner--ALL better players than Harris and all who made a larger impact than Larry Wilson in that decade.
