"Five consecutive division championships. Five consecutive failures. They were labeled losers. A team with a roman appetite for victory, without the spartan will to sacrifice for it." THAT'S F*CKING POETRY!
Craig Morton had been 16-41 for 166 yards, 1 TD, 7 INTs, 4 sacks for a loss of 34 yards, and ratings of 34.1 and 0.0 in Super Bowls V and XII losses. Meanwhile, Staubach was 61-98 for 734 yards, 8 TDs, 4 INTs, 1 fumble lost, 19 sacks for a loss of 148 yards, and ratings of 115.9 (win), 77.8 (loss), 102.6 (win), and 100.4 (loss). Staubach always felt he should have started SB V. He was probably the difference if he would have played in SB V.
To be completely fair, Morton's arm was in intense pain for the last month of the 1970 season, and in Super Bowl XII, the Bronco offensive line was in way over their heads against the Cowboy defensive line. The Doomsday Defense peaked during the playoffs and would have been a nightmare for Stabler, Bradshaw, Griese, Fouts, Anderson, etc. They were spilling into Morton's lap from the very first series of the game, just like the Steelers were chasing Tarkenton all over the field in Super Bowl IX. Staubach even admitted the two teams could have switched quarterbacks and Dallas would still have won, given how ferocious the Cowboys were on the defensive side of the ball.
There's nothing like the first time. Cowboys first title, boy was it ever a long time coming! As the great Facenda said, "In the end, the long hard road, had made the final destination.......all the sweeter." Beautiful.
Prime time in the evenings is where the money and the ratings are. Fans fail to realize the NFL and the TV networks are in the business of what was mentioned above.
Wow! What a sweet victory that must have been for Tom Landry after losing 12 years. The music in this was absolutely phenomenal and amazing! Made it seem like a movie.
I was a senior in H.S. in ‘72, I remember thinking back then how Dallas was going to win easily. Miami was a good, up-and-coming team, but they were considered lucky to be there. Dallas was on a roll and their defense was just dominating. I was rooting for Miami and was disappointed they got beaten so badly. Little did I realize then that this was not an ending - this was the beginning of their dynasty. It was awesome, I was living in Miami in those days.
Dolphins made good on their next two chances In fact, the Fins didn't lose another game, period, until September of 1973 (19 straight wins including postseason).
27-2 and back-to-back Super Bowl Titles after this game. An incredible run. Almost went to a 4th consecutive Super Bowl but the Sea of Hands play beat them in the ‘74 Divisional Playoff. One of the great games of all-time. This was some spark, this game. Really started two dynasties.
After stumbling to a 4-3 record, that perfect 10-week win streak saw Dallas playing as well as almost any NFL champion. The loss to the Bears seemed to purge the Cowboys of all the drama and self-doubt, an attitude of "Enough is enough!"
13:39 great music starts. Don't know the name of the piece. But it fits in very well as Dallas seizes full control of the game with an overpowering running game coming from unexpected directions and multiple sources. Miami is overwhelmed on that first drive of the second half, and that uplifting music just keeps playing right along. And of course, Facenda: "The second half opened with tactical maneuvers on both sides. Shula and Buoniconti discussed means to seal the middle............. while Landry planned counter-action. Miami sensed the importance of this first series: Hold or be swallowed up. Buoniconti rooted in.....and tackle Manny Fernandez stacked over center. .....The shocked Dolphins watched Dallas fly OUTSIDE" (great music continues) Facenda: "Seventy one yards in eight plays. Seven of them sweeps. And the stunned Dolphins were suddenly down 17-3." 14:49 The once proud No Name Defense in full bedraggled retreat, dazed and confused.
'... every time he goes up in the air, he loses the ball!! Stay on your feet Calvin!' Yes, Calvin Hill needed to stay on his feet. If he had, the game would have been 31 to 3. He has lived that one over in his head innumerable times. Ditka could have scored two touchdowns if he had leapt forward in the air an pushed the ball forward to break the plane.
Dallas a then Super Bowl record 252 yards rushing. Dominating. This is still fourth best ALL TIME to this day for a Super Bowl. 22:09 Even Mike Ditka 89 got to carry the ball once. He had a huge escort and roared for 17 yards down the sideline before getting knocked out of bounds one foot short of the goal line. The supposedly unemotional Landry got quite excited during that run ha ha.
This highlight should be titled The Exorcism. Dallas rid themselves of so many demons, and bitter, terrible defeats on this day. In the end, they may have been more relieved than happy........ The cruelly nicknamed Next Year's Champions, had FINALLY done it.
this is considered to be one of the worst super bowls, if not the worst ever, but NFL films could make a mismatch clunker like this into the most dramatic struggle of all time. these are not highlight films, these are art films
This was great Super Bowl, Dallas doing what only Steelers nearly did, Miami was nearly shutout by Doomsday Defense. You're thinking of the Super Bowl V where Dallas was robbed on controversial call and sloppy game with turnovers
The loudmouth Dolphins were silenced by the Cowboys and Dominated so thoroughly they were nearly shut out. Yepremian's FG barely made it through the uprights to avoid being the 1st team to be shutout in Super Bowl.
The Dolphins never played the Packers, Browns or Colts during the prime years of those teams. Had Dallas been in the AFC, it would not have taken 6 tries.
But if the Chiefs make that FG and beat Miami, they could have beaten the Colts and given the Cowboys a much tougher game in the S.B. Maybe even win it - they were that good in 1971.
The Chiefs had home field through the AFC playoffs and lost Miami had home field for the AFC title game because they were the WC and beat Cleveland otherwise Miami would have been the road team again for the AFC title game
@@metalmaniac1244 Should've, could've, would've. Sports always can be used as revisitionist history. There are a lot of ifs in many of past Super Bowl games. In Super Bowl 13, what if Jackie Smith didn't drop the wide open td pass? In that same game in the 4th quarter, what if the Cowboys didn't get that controversial pass interence call or Randy White didn't fumble the kickoff? In Super Bowl 7, what if Sonny Jurgensen wasn't hurt and started instead of starting rag tag erratic Billy Kilmer? It is what it is. Football isn't like the other major team sports. There is no best of series so you have to just live with what happens on that one chance one day you get.
Listening to John Facenda as a kid definitely helped me with my grammar and vocabulary!
I dearly miss the way football was back then
R.I.P.: Tom Landry and Don Shula
Two of the best coaches of all time
Was 39 degrees at kickoff, the coldest ever for a Super Bowl.
The Cowboys went to the Superbowl 5 times in the 70s! Wow! They dominated the NFC for half the decade!
"Five consecutive division championships. Five consecutive failures. They were labeled losers. A team with a roman appetite for victory, without the spartan will to sacrifice for it." THAT'S F*CKING POETRY!
"You've given me a horse I can ride" as John Facenda would often say to the NFL Films writers when shown the copy before recording the narration.
No not really

Morton had a much better arm and was more
Mature. Landry made the right call

Staubach even admitted the two teams could have switched quarterbacks and Dallas would still have won, given how ferocious the Cowboys were on the defensive side of the ball.
No he wouldn’t, he was terrible at that point and Landry had no faith in him.
John Facenda...The Voice!
There's nothing like the first time.

As the great Facenda said,
"In the end, the long hard road, had made the final destination.......all the sweeter."

THANK YOU PAL6363, Thank you. I have looked for years for the unedited beginning to this video. Now we finally have the real set-up to the game.
Yes, they showed Dallas's past failures.
No more day time Super Bowls anymore. Too bad; some of the best SBs were played in the sunshine.
Prime time in the evenings is where the money and the ratings are. Fans fail to realize the NFL and the TV networks are in the business of what was mentioned above.
A. M. Personally, I like the Super Bowl in the day.
A. M. I like the Super Bowl in the day but I can live with it in the evening.
Small consolation, perhaps...but when the game is played on the West Coast, at least the first half is in daylight. It's something.
@@gerrythrash6563 ,isn’t super bowl 56,going to b played at sofi stadium?
I still remember loving that game. That was the team that made me a lifelong Cowboys fan....

Dallas deserved one. I hated for it to be versus Miami. But I have HIGH regard for Landry and what he did to build that team.
Chuck Howley should be in the HOF!!!?
Yes. 6x All-Pro. 5x Pro Bowl. 1x SB MVP (frankly, he could have been SB MVP in SB VI also).
There 's many players that should get in but they probably never will
He will get in now but still too late. Guy has Alzheimer's
16:38 dolphin fate lay in the hands of a defense called doomsday- doomsday measured miami for defeat...
20:10 - John Facenda's voice is legendary but some of NFL Films' best work comes from the natural sounds of the game.
Opening song is "The Bonnie Blue Flag" which is something I never thought I'd hear in a football highlight film.
But the theme song was called “The Generals of Autumn” by the legendary Sam Spence.
Cowboys first SB Title
Love the clips of Thomas, Garrison, and Hill running with the ball, running with balls, all of it.
After 238 plays Larry Csonka would fumble in the Super Bowl 😫
The great @20:40 Herb Adderley #26 recruited me out of high school when he was a Temple coach. Northeast High alumni. Go Vikings

@manopike But the Cowboys, one of the teams of the 70s never won back to back Super Bowls until the 90s
This is amazing to watch

Excellent Production!

When that music plays you know a fumble is coming..

In case anyone forgets, the Steelers were 6-8 this season and missing the playoffs for the 38th straight year.
That was about to change.
The Steelers made the playoffs in 1947?

The Magnificent Eleven
A Sam Spence Masterpiece
The tagline for the this game NEXT YEARS CHAMPIONS NO LONGER for the Cowboys! As for the Dolphins NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE PERFECT!
Fifty years,nxt January (16th to b precise)all those long long years ago!
'... every time he goes up in the air, he loses the ball!! Stay on your feet Calvin!'
Yes, Calvin Hill needed to stay on his feet. If he had, the game would have been 31 to 3.
He has lived that one over in his head innumerable times.
Ditka could have scored two touchdowns if he had leapt forward in the air an pushed the ball forward to break the plane.
At the 12:30 mark, the almost sequel to the NBC TV series 1969 - 1971 theme song "The Name Of The Game"!!
RIP Tom Landry
This year,on11 sept,he would have turned 100 years old(born 11 sept 1924)
(And yes i am aware of the date etc etc)
Loved NFL films with John Facieda 😉 the voice of NFL football 🏈
The music transition at @19:39 is so funny and fitting...
Wish I saw that Super Bowl game live.

How bout dem Cowboys
15:01 Magnificent Eleven
15:12 the magnificent eleven
I thought this have been the one with Andy Musser doing the narrating
No, Facenda's voice is unmistakable.
@@andrewpadaetz5549 Andy Musser did another one on SB 6 called The NFL GOTW I am referring to.So there were 2.
The loudmouth Dolphins were silenced by the Cowboys and Dominated so thoroughly they were nearly shut out. Yepremian's FG barely made it through the uprights to avoid being the 1st team to be shutout in Super Bowl.
This was a Hall of fame Super Bowl 😉
Anyone know the song that beings at 16:46 ?
Doomsday defense
What's with the stupid talk about scrambling? Is Staubach just supposed to stand there and be tackled?
Scrambling was considered unorthodox and not the way a QB was supposed to play the position.
No matter what it worked @@francisamar2212
Miami will get another chance, Dallas had needed six.
The Dolphins never played the Packers, Browns or Colts during the prime years of those teams. Had Dallas been in the AFC, it would not have taken 6 tries.
@@mrambassador114
True, but I was repeating the words of John Facenda near the end of Super Bowl VI after Dallas has convincingly won.
@@Jiltedin2007 That is also what I was referring to. I remember the first time I heard that comment at the end of this film.
How did Facenda know?
@@udell777
I believe John Facenda was aware of Miami being up coming in the NFL.
If the Colts would have somehow beat the Dolphins in the AFC Championship Game, would they be favored to beat the Cowboys?
Probably not
But if the Chiefs make that FG and beat Miami, they could have beaten the Colts and given the Cowboys a much tougher game in the S.B. Maybe even win it - they were that good in 1971.
The Chiefs had home field through the AFC playoffs and lost Miami had home field for the AFC title game because they were the WC and beat Cleveland otherwise Miami would have been the road team again for the AFC title game
Dallas would have easily beaten the Colts in Super Bowl 5 if Staubach would have started over Craig Morton
