Super Bowl XIII - Enhanced NBC Broadcast - 1080p/60fps - Dallas Cowboys vs Pittsburgh Steelers

My thanks to romelovesdan for providing me the DVD files used for this project. I've enhanced the broadcast recording of Super Bowl XIII. This copy of the game was in VERY bad shape - lots of noise & compression, very dark picture, and incorrect color that was REALLY washed-out. There was enough there to work with however to accomplish a huge upgrade. I ran the game through Topaz to upscale, denoise, sharpen and double the framerate, then used Da Vinci Resolve to majorly brighten the picture and completely overhaul the color. The end result is far from perfect (very soft focus and not very sharp), but it easily bests any copy of the game you'll find on KZbin and from the NFL proper. You can see the incredible restoration here - original shots and post-enhancement -- imgbox.com/g/32lbABIWoV

I'd just like to take a moment to shame the NFL for making all of this necessary. How could they have let the televised versions of these monumental games almost be lost to history? Dave, you are truly doing the Lord's work.

[@rickchyczewski576]

I think the NFL does not want us to see how good football used to be. Football in the 70 s and 80 s was the best of the sport. They could hit. QBs called their own games. Notice the penalties. Is it that there are more today? No. They let them play back then. It's a shame how watered down today's version is despite the human specimens that play the game

[@sebazelaya3445]

Yes Super BOWL

[@chrisuncleahmad]

This was the first truly legendary and epic Super Bowl. The first DAL-PIT SB was the first really fun Super Bowl with a lot of big moments: Lynn Swann's catches, Percy Howard, Lambert standing up to Cliff Harris and defending Gerela, which led to the classic "Jack Lambert is a defender of what is right" quote. It also had a few different nuances compared to a few years later: Dallas in SB X was a Wild Card and they had a lot of younger guys (The Dirty Dozen from their 1975 draft) and were probably not expected to face Pittsburgh at the Orange Bowl, and aesthetically the Orange Bowl looked a bit out of place with AstroTurf. (I think the other 3 NFC teams were probably seen as having a better shot making it to here since DAL didn't win their division) This Super Bowl (XIII) had so many things attached: First SB of the new 16-game season, 2 WC's per conference, 5 playoff teams per conference First season after rules changes to encourage passing (which Bradshaw and Staubach clearly excelled at) The number of future Hall of Fame names on both sides (24!) Both teams were vying to be the first 3x SB winner Dallas was defending SB champ, so you had 4 of the previous 7 SB winners The first SB rematch The Orange Bowl back to natural grass after a few years of turf Curt Gowdy calling his final NFL game for NBC The culmination of what I thought was one a landmark NFL season (16 games, extra playoff teams, the Wild Card game, the era of big play passing began) All in all, a truly super Super Bowl

[@pst702]

Incredibly, this video took me back in time to my HS years... as a Steelers fan, I never sweated so much by watching this game as a teenager. It was gut wrenching back then.. glad the Super Steelers won.. a Dynasty of the 70's.. 4 SB titles in 6 years, a feat no team has matched, and their best defensive team (1976) didn't make the SB.. it was a fantastic ride to be a Steelers fan during those years. Eternally thankful for uploading this HIGH QUALITY video to revive great memories.. thanks 👍

[@penguinsfan251]

I've been a Steelers fan since 1972 when I was 9. The 1976 team is frequently referred to as the best, with the best defense because of the shutouts. The 1976 team started 1-4. They blew a 28-14 fourth quarter lead in Oakland to start the season. They were beat up by the Vikings on a Monday night. The Patriots came into Pittsburgh and won. Finally the Browns beat the Steelers in Cleveland in the infamous Turkey Jones head first slam of Bradshaw. Aside from the Bengals, the Steelers beat teams with losing records and needed Oakland's help in beating Cincinnati to win the AFC Central. My point is that the Steelers were not the best team in 1976. The Patriots were. The Patriots beat Oakland 48-17 in the regular season and were screwed by the officials in their playoff game in Oakland. Ray Hamilton was called for roughing the passer on a 4th and 17 incomplete pass. The game would have been over. New England got revenge 25 years later in the Tuck Bowl. The best Steelers teams were, in no particular order, 1978, 1975, 2004 and 2005.

[@sandranorman5469]

@@penguinsfan251 I don't know, the '75 team had 2 teams in their division that were 11-3 and 10-4 (Cincinnati and Houston I believe) and the Steelers swept them both with their 12-2 season, lost their final game to the 12-2 Rams 10-3 and that's with playing several backup players do to the fact they'd already clinched home field throughout the playoffs. That's pretty impressive to me and they beat my Cowboys in the SB.

[@bwalmsley5087]

I love watching these old games. Therapeutic distraction from life. Thank you for bringing them back to life.

[@roysorgo]

DV, great job and many thanks. So many things went wrong for the Cowboys that night: the reverse fumble, Jackie's drop (RiP), the Barnes' incidental contact on Swann, Hollywood's unnecessary burst through the line after the dead play whistle, the Franco touchdown that followed it when the official blocked Charlie Waters, and Randy White's fumble wearing that cast. Great game.

[@kurtmorris454]

plus Pittsburgh's first TD should not have counted. Despite what the announcers said, if you look at the replay, he wasn't forced out of bounds upon making the catch and would have no way been able to stay in bounds. But it was a first down play and somewhat reasonable to say they might have gotten a TD anyway but I'd say a FG would be more likely.

[@kurtmorris454]

also Pittsburgh had a big mistake witch benefitted them with a TD. on 3rd and about 5 on Dallas' 8yd Ln, Cowboys made a huge sack only to be nullified because the Steelers had a delay of game, the next play was a TD. Had they snapped the ball on time the play before, they would have had to settle for a FG.

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

I looked at an NFL Films angle of the play from the end zone, straight down. It looks to me like he would've come down in bounds with the ball and was forced out.

[@kurtmorris454]

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 well I just looked again and although he did get hit, I focused on his knee and it looked like it was not affected by the hit, however , too close to blame the officials, plus obviously there's no instant replay. I was watching it on my DVD which isn't nearly as clear as this video but I still think if you focus on the knee that hits out of bounds, it keeps the same motion throughout.

[@mysteriomarvel933]

As a life long Cowboys fan this still hurts as much as it did when I watched it live as an 8 year old boy. Roger Staubach was my idol then and I had just gotten a Dallas Cowboys junior helmet Xmas day from the Sears and Roebuck catalog as I had requested. As much as I still admire the man I can objectively say his first half was rather poor with the exception of the Tony Hill TD pass play with an allout blitz by the Steelers. I think he was still thinking about super bowl X and the 7 sacks he endured by the vaunted Steel Curtain defense and was a tad antsy in the pocket. Despite that Dallas still had chances to win but too many ill timed mistakes and bad luck occurred. As a 53 year old man I can respect and admire both teams and the men who played this game. I wonder why Dallas insisted on running the ball with Newhouse on first downs. Shorter quicker passes would have kept moving the chains along with a heavy dose of Dorsett who was giving Pittsburgh fits to contain. Had Dallas won this game they would have been the team of the decade and had gotten more players into both the Cowboys ring of honor and Pro football hall of fame. Charlie Waters deserves to be in the Cowboys ring of honor and has been a great spokesman and ambassador to the Dallas Cowboys appearing in many NFL Network production films. Would be so special to see Dallas win another Super Bowl in my lifetime. So far Ive personally watched 4...one for the thumb now in 2024 to steal the old Steelers mantra.

[@davidmc1489]

[@FrederickJohnSebastian]

Couldn't have said it better. A remarkable leader on and off the field, arguably his best years behind him due his Navy service, but yes, objectively, two interceptions in the first half at this level will haunt you. By his own admission, he couldn't believe Smith was so wide open in the end zone he actually pulled the string a little, forcing Smith to drop lower than he may have wanted. That could have been 24-21Cowboys. Given that poor first half, a remarkable lead that might have inspired them to victory. Still, Smith should have caught that. Cowboys actually ran and rushed the ball better than I remembered against that vaunted Steel Curtain defence.

Dave I can't thank you enough for your work on these games. From a grateful Steeler fan since '74. I've made some good decisions in life, and some bad ones, like anyone. Picking the Steelers as my team in fourth grade, in Arizona, a state without a team, almost out of the blue, paid off over the decades like few other things in my life. In the 70's, Led Zeppelin and the Steelers both made me dizzy. I know a lot of guys who love their NFL teams because their dad loved them, then spent decades loving a team that lost A LOT. But you just can't help it. It's in your blood. Part of your childhood maybe with your dad, friends, classmates or brothers. But nothing's perfect. I'm a Pirates fan too. I've met Bleier and Bradshaw. The names Jack Lambert and Lynn Swann still give me the chills. So do Hines Ward and Ed Reed. And Kenny Stabler. Love for my team but also much respect for those we battled, for we battled many worthy warriors. Some day I'd like to actually visit Pittsburgh. LOL.

Thank you for this! I’m 50 and a huge football fan and I can’t imagine going through life having not seen this.

What a great Super Bowl this was.

[@smokestack29]

The best Super Bowl ever for me. Plenty of big plays, multiple Hall of Famers, great broadcasters, plenty of drama. The anticipation I had for this game was off the charts. Dave Volsky, you did an excellent job, almost putting the NFL to shame with this work.

Its crazy how I never thought Rogers helmet was ugly back in '79 but it sure is!

[@manyourground]

This was the game the anointed me a die hard Steelers fan for life at age 9. 45 years later and we still got one up on ya’ll Cowboys🖤💛😂!

[@zaymoney252]

The whole Super Bowl 🔥

[@johnmongani5223]

Have to say this was the best Super Bowl of the 70's and most anticipated. Both teams had won 2 Super Bowls going into the game with Dallas the defending NFL champs. The game lived up to the hype and was great to watch live back then.

Thanks, dude!

And John Brodie was correct in his assessment that it would be a close high scoring game.

1:19, forgot about EF Hutton commercials, everybody listens. Clasdic 😆. Our power was out when this game was on, could only listen to it. Never actually saw much of highlights. Thanks!
