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 from Noll. 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 company clearly excelled at) The number of future Hall of Famers on both sides 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 where two teams faced off against each other a second time 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

[@ghostintheshell3576]

Yes yes u can say with out a dought this game didn't just just Pittsburgh and Dallas it help change and the concept of the SB being Boeing it help the passing game thats why not until 20 years later people were calling this the greatest SB ever played

[@anthonybrooks1888]

Yes, those are great reasons to justify this SB as the best and most evenly matched (along with the intensity of a 13-round heavyweight championship bout). The next SB where both teams entered with "established" championship traditions: XXX (same teams, different result).

Howzat P A spelling error is definitely not a big deal. But the quote was a little different...and carried a different import. ESPECIALLY because American football is different than "world" football - and the Cowboys, by then, were already being called "America's Team." Besides - I found the sports announcer's original call very compelling...because he DIDN'T go overboard by suggesting it was a world shaking event. Just the States.

Aside from what's at stake for both teams in every Super Bowl, Super Bowl XIII had more at stake for both Pittsburgh and Dallas than any other Super Bowl that has taken place since January of 1967. This was the FIRST Super Bowl where both teams, both head coaches and both quarterbacks had won 2 Super Bowls in a calander decade(Steelers in 74 and 75...Cowboys in 71 and 77). The winner of this game would become the FIRST franchise to win 3 Super Bowls, and be crowned "Team of the Decade". Dallas would also become the 4th franchise to repeat as Super Bowl Champions

[@kirbygene]

Spot on in your comments. The only small correction I would make is that the Dolphins also won 2 SBs in the 70s with the same head coach and QB. But they weren't considered quite in the same class as Dallas and Pittsburgh.

[@keithclark7266]

Rooney Sr, Dan Rooney, Chuck Noll, Joe Greene, Jack Ham, Mel Blount, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Jack Lambert, Mike Webster, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Tony Dungy, Donnie Shell.

[@myworstenemy680]

I grew up watching these teams. Prior to Free Agency, teams that drafted well were loaded with talent. Since more players spent their career with only one team, you got to know your team's starters and backups on offense, defense and special teams, and you knew everything about the teams in their Division. For better or worse, the NFL was a Fan's League back in the day. My Dad was a Dolphins Fan, and he passed that down to me. We bonded on Sundays, and it was awesome. ***Players were being exploited by Team Owners, so I understand why Free Agency was implemented in 93'. I'm Not debating the issue in any way.***

One could argue that prior to this game, the defending champion Cowboys were the greatest team of the Super Bowl era. The 1977 Cowboys are the last NFL team to lead the league in Total Defense and Total Offense, and they outscored their playoff opponents 87-23. One could also argue that by defeating the Cowboys in Super Bowl 13, the 1978 Steelers became the greatest team in NFL history.

[@Biggdoom344]

tone 22 THAT was a very dumb decision. Tony D was lit that game and would have been trouble. The Steelers by that time didn’t get a lot of pass rush from the d line and depended a lot more on blitzing. They would have had to stack the box to stop Dorset which opens up their strong passing game.

The owners and administrators from each (Art Rooney, Dan Rooney, Tex Schramm, Gil Brandt), and the head coaches (Chuck Noll, Tom Landry) are all in the hall of fame as well.

As a Cowboys fan I was so angry after this game that I was determined to prove that the Cowboys were STILL the "team of the decade". I poured over the W-L stats of both teams from 1970 through 1978 and was able to make a good argument that Dallas still had the edge. I factored in how the Cowboys were a Championship level team the first two years of the decade (going 1-1 in the SBs), while it took the Steelers longer to go to a SB (74). Dallas also had the overall advantage in every category, from the regular season W-L record, winning seasons, division titles, playoff games, etc. Then those damn Steelers went right back and won another SB in 79 and my whole argument went out the window.

My favorite Super Bowl of all time.

Mike Webster will never get enough credit.

[@rantdmc]

watching this game, you realise how truly great many of these players were, and you need to realise how much less physical protection they received than today's players

The "GREATEST" Super Bowl EVER and I'm a Raider fan!!!

The reason why I became a Steelers fan

[@steveparham8221]

Born and raised in Dallas TX. This game hurt. No shame in saying Pittsburgh was the better team. They were ahead of their time. Both Super Bowls could have been won by Dallas, but they couldn’t catch the breaks they needed. The opportunity was there.

[@davidpaz9389]

Yeah, it could be said Dallas overacheived in the 1975 season and how no business being in that year's SB but it could have been on on that Hail Mary. In SB 13 Landry's coaching cost Dallas.

[@steveparham8221]

@@davidpaz9389 can you specify where Landry went wrong?

[@davidpaz9389]

@@steveparham8221 Trickery on the opening drive when Dorsett was rolling. The 'system' said Pittsburgh would expect the run so we'll surprise them. Staubach should have audibled.

Two of the Greatest teams ever in my opinion. Definitely one of the greatest Super Bowls too!

[@chrisbrimhall1613]

For me….best match up in history and best Super Bowl ….insane all the HOF players on both teams

I was a little kid back then and I was a steeler fan, I don’t know what happened but I turned into a die hard cowboys fan! I totally love the Dallas Cowboys!

There's a certain mystique when these two teams play each other. It's always epic.

[@melvinshine9841]

Seventies football at its finest. I don't think a team had cracked 24 points in a Super Bow prior to this one. I've seen that Jackie Smith play dozens of times and still don't think it should called a drop. How can you drop something if you never got your hands on it?

[@darren.plateroti]

To break down your stance on the 24 point thought: Green Bay accumulated both 35 and 33 points in their wins in Super Bowls I and II. Dallas hit 24 in Super Bowl VI. Miami got to 24 in Super Bowl VIII. Oakland racked up 32 in Super Bowl XI. Lastly, Dallas put up 27 the year before in Super Bowl XII.

[@melvinshine9841]

@@darren.plateroti I stand corrected. Somehow I forgot about the ass kickings Green Bay delivered in the first Super Bowls.

When people want to say Terry Bradshaw was overrated because of Steel Curtain I replay this for them #steeler4life

[@bigpapasmurfz6252]

I have never net one person that says Terry was overrated. Not one. And, Im a Dallas fan. Now, they might say, that Terry wasnt the main reason for the Dynasty. But, anybody who says he was just a PASSENGER on that bus, their opinion is not to be respected. The last 2 Super Bowls were LED by Terry bombing to the Wonder Twins Swann, and Stallworth. Some people are just retarded.

[@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs]

The final pass to Swann in Super Bowl X showed how "overrated" Terry was.

[@curtisbrown5939]

The 3 best Super Bowls ever Cowboys Steelers.

[@rog9601]

Great game, no matter who you were routing for. I hated this Steelers team, but they were very very good. The one thing I hated the most, is that defense (Wagner was a particular Bastard) had a few who after a tackle who give that extra push, nudge, jab, and of course a Dallas player would push back. By then the refs were looking and would hold the Dallas offensive player back. There were some mistakes made by the refs in this game (The NFL acknowledged this later) but what a great game, which I feel even here in 2021 was the greatest Super Bowl yet. There is no way a game with this many Hall of Famers will be played again, the reason I feel is because of the free agency. Players are not on teams great lengths of time like they use to be. The Cowboys at the time always won when Dorsett got 100 yards, he got 96 that day. Roger and Terry had the same stats, except that TD column, and I dont even want to discuss why for a moment it was the same, then it wasn't. :(
