All 8 of Roger Staubach's Super Bowl TDs

[@derrickmurphy1217]

I'm 49 years old and had the opportunity to see these guys play in the 70's at Texas Stadium. Born and raised in Dallas; royal blue in my blood. I can remember staring at Staubach, Landry and Dorsett on the side line as a 10 year old in awe. To this day these guys are my heroes. Always wanted to see Too Tall up close as a kid; got a chance to a couple of years ago and the kid came out. Great video!

[@57clc]

Staubach became the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys in 1971. In 9 years as a starter he led the Cowboys to 4 Superbowls and 2 NFL Championships. He missed the first 4 years of his pro career by serving in the Navy. Truly one the the greatest of all time.

[@mc-lp4zl]

He was a backup QB his first 2 yrs. In 1972, he separated his shoulder in a preseason game against the Rams and practically missed that season, coming off the bench in the last month.

@depaola Thanks for your nice comment/words concerning DPearson. As you probably know by now, D88P finally got in, and this year 2023, so did Chuck Howley, after a ridiculous 45 year wait. I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, since 1963, but I absolutely loved Bud Grant and ALL of those tough Viking players, especially when they played in the greatest NFL stadium of all-time......

[@TakeDeadAim]

I remember that pass to Johnson is SB XII very well. Right after the game, a group of us kids went out and tried to replicate it diving into snowbanks in Cheyenne Wyoming. Staubach threw that ball roughly 55 yds in the air and right on target. One of the best deep ball throwers in history. Mahomes is the modern "Captain America"...

[@thegorn68]

His first two TD passes were to HOF players Alworth and Ditka. The 3rd was to Drew Pearson who SHOULD be in the HOF.

Staubach missed his first four pro seasons to his commitment to the navy. A lot of people forgot about that aspect of his career. He then sat behind Morton for two years. Despite being one of the greatest all-time pro coaches that was still Landry's biggest career blunder. Staubach is one of the greatest combined college and pro football or basketball players ever.

[@tdozzy991]

@@petetheodocion9542 there wasnt any to golden Richards

[@Asahel717]

It was to Butch Johnson. And it was a legitimate TD according to the rules then, not now. Staubach played only two seasons after the 1978 rule changes. He played six of his eight full seasons while receivers got mugged all the way downfield and with much less sophisticated passing routes. Had he played today when receivers run free and QBs are protected from late hits and head shots, he would tear up the league. And, FYI, Richards caught the TD from Newhouse on the trick play.

[@williamivery1809]

Rodger Staubach was my favorite quarterback, 😂🤣

[@artmeddaugh6669]

Roger Staubach...2-2 in Super Bowls as the starting QB for the Cowboys. Could easily be 3-1 or 4-0 with those close losses to the Steelers. Roger was a top notch competitor and is a first class individual! Great play on the field, and great service to our country!

[@Golf8802]

Who knows? Cowboys might have beat the Colts in Super Bowl V if Landry had played Staubach.

[@frankguerrero9649]

Damn I never noticed how strong Staubauchs arm was

[@Asahel717]

Staubach had a rifle arm. Check out the rotation on the ball, and the low arch, to Butch Johnson in SB XII. The ball went about 55 yd in the air and got there in no time.

[@bballer191]

GOAT.

[@nala3038]

I don’t think so

[@anonymousgoogle8462]

If Staubach wouldn't have served those 4 years in the Navy after college, then he would have had more NFL Championships under his belt. Those Superbowl losses to the Stealers may have never been and Cowboys may have had more Superbowl appearances with victories. Roger may have finished with 7 or 8 Superbowl rings. I never seen a QB quite like him that can engineer an offense out of anything. Of course when he played his last year it wasn't the same, but he was still a force in his final playing days.

[@peterl3282]

For grins, I might've included the pass that hit Percy Howard on the top of the helmet in the end zone at the end of SB X. Howard came close to being a SB legend if he'd just turned around and looked for the ball. Perfect throw. Oh well, he was the 4th WR on the depth chart.

theres a book "Men of Steel". About 70's football. Great stories from the greatest era. Mean Joe Green hated the Cowboys, he went to North Texas State, born in texas. Landry told him pre-draft he was gonna be a Cowboy. Also, some Steelers talk about how them and Oakland got looked at as dirty teams because of the black uniforms. But they said the early Dolphins were dirty AF!! they got away with it because of the teal and orange colors and flipper on their helmet. lol They said the early 70's Dolphins ruled the AFC and made the Raiders and Steelers tougher football teams

Today, it’s the endless drama, the look at me behavior by these selfish players that feel the need for an incredible amount of attention.

I love Coach Landry and have all the respect in the world for him, but play calling killed Dallas on that opening drive. Dorsett ran three times for 38 yards. The Cowboys O-line was coming off the ball and controlling Joe Greene and that great front four. Then, on 1st down, Landry calls the double reverse. Fumble.
