[@deadeye4520]

@@robbie192 I saw the game, and in the beginning Pittsburgh was like a deer in headlights. But once they settled in, they outplayed Dallas with the exception of Neil's two interceptions which gave Dallas 14 free points. Pittsburgh had more first downs, more passing yards. and more rushing yards.

[@cassidy109]

@@deadeye4520 The Cowboys were clearly the better team. Between 1991 and 1997 the Cowboys and the Steelers played each other four times, the Steelers lost all four times, each time by double digits. That onside kick in the 4th quarter was indicative of an inferior opponent scratching for every possible advantage they could muster. No way would a more talented team make a roll of the dice like that. You have to hand it to that Steelers team though, they played their hearts out and caught the Cowboys sleep walking through the second half, but ultimately the superior team prevailed.

This is the 1st Steelers SuperBowl memory for me, and when they lost this game I cried my eyes out no lie. Being a Steelers fan being born and raised in Chicago actually wasn't as bad as one would think, we are everywhere "wink" but I knew and always had faith that I'd live to see a Steelers SuperBowl victory and sho nuff I did... When we beat Seattle I remember I was working for the city of Chicago @ O'Hare Airport and I remember being at work that SuperBowl Sunday and when we won... I remember crying tears of joy I was so happy... So I can honestly say that we are (2-2) in the SuperBowl since I've been alive. Oh man I feel like crying now typing this 🤣🤣🤣 #PS4L

[@persona-non-grata]

This was a tough one as a Steeler fan. You had the Cowboys at the tail end of their dynasty with 4 future Hall of Famers on offense versus an overachieving Steeler team with no stars on offense at all. The Steeler defense was very good though (2nd in the NFL) with a great LB corps (Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Levon Kirkland, Chad Brown/Jerry O) + Rod Woodson (recovering from ACL tear) and Carnell Lake in the secondary. This was a classic "strength on strength" matchup (Dallas Offense vs Steelers Defense), which meant the other side of the ball (Dallas Defense vs Steelers Offense) would likely determine the game --- and boy did it. Two crushing unforced error interceptions when they had the momentum and had worn down the Dallas team on both sides of the ball ended up deciding it.

[@dennismonk9559]

Cowboys had an amazing defense though. Significantly better than the Steelers Offense

[@davidpollard4051]

On this day, Lloyd and Greene were non-factors. The Cowboy O Line handled them well.

[@persona-non-grata]

@@davidpollard4051 True, but Levon Kirkland and others more than stepped up I think. If someone would have told me that Troy Aikman would have a pedestrian day and Emmitt Smith (during the best season of his career with 1773 rushing yards and 25 td's) would be held to 49 total yards on 25 carries, I would have said they were crazy. The Steelers shut down their offense the entire second half. It's just the interceptions + talent disparity between the Steelers O and Dallas D was a bit too much to overcome. But Dallas was the better team overall, there's no denying that. Better talent top to bottom and deserved to win. I can't be too salty because the Steelers would go on to win 2 more SB's in the next 13 years; while Dallas would *implode* and become a laughing stock in the NFC lol.

[@clickman443]

This game was the final chapter to the Dallas dynasty. Yes they won, but hardly in dominant fashion and a couple of great breaks. But you could clearly see they had come back to the rest of the NFL

It's no coincidence. Oh & the Pat's owner allegedly got caught with underage girls at a massage parlor & notice how all that got swept under the rug. Last year was so obvious where the NFL is desperate to win over the 2nd biggest market with Los Angeles.
