John Stallworth had a good game in SB XIII. He scored 2 tds, which one them he turned a 10 yd hitch pass into a 75 yrd td. Had he finished the game, (due to severe leg cramps), should had been MVP. Stallworth was a very underrated receiver that didn't get the credit of being a great wide out during his career. Maybe it was because he was in the shadow of Lynn Swann and came out of Alabama A&M. But he was a complete wide out and worked very hard to become an above average receiver. Stallworth got his just due credit when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. I should also say he should had been named MVP in SB XIV.
Swann came right out of the starting blocks as a first round sensation. Stallworth was held back with injuries during his first few seasons but really made a name for himself after Swann faded away before retiring in 1982
Greatest Super Bowl of all time....at stake for the winner: team of the decade...1st to win 3 Super Bowls...for Dallas, the 4th franchise to win back to back Super Bowls
It's cool seeing these players now in these games. I used to deliver papers to few of them, I think 6 or 7, and grew up watching them and of course new how good they were and everything but never really looked at them like they were a big deal in the whole thing of things in football
Man that was a game. I was a Steelers fan but Dallas was right there with them. The difference was they could not cover Swann and stallworth. They killed Dallas in just about every game…SB or regular season.
The great Curt Gowdy's last broadcast for NBC....before he would leave for CBS the next season.....he would return briefly in 1988 during the olympics pairing up again with Merlin Olsen who ironically is one of the color men along with John Brodie for this broadcast.

Yinz guys remember that? The good old days. I was living in Cranberry Township back then.

Stallworth just seemed like a good mild mannered man! Enjoyed your play!
Swann actually had a pretty good block on that play, it helped spring Stallworth.

Stallworth's speed on this play has got me thinking about Mike Wallace.
Swannie's block frees him.
