Super Bowl V
Baltimore Colts 16
Dallas Cowboys 13
SHARE
A 32-yard field goal by rookie kicker Jim O'Brien brought the Baltimore Colts a victory over the
Dallas Cowboys in the final five seconds of Super Bowl V.
The game between the champions of the AFC and NFC was played on artificial turf for the first time.
Dallas led 13-6 at the half but interceptions by Rick Volk and Mike Curtis set up a Baltimore touchdown
and O'Brien's decisive kick in the fourth period.
Earl Morrall relieved an injured Johnny Unitas late in the first half, although Unitas completed the
Colts' only scoring pass. It caromed off receiver Eddie Hinton's fingertips, off Dallas defensive back
Mel Renfro, and finally settled into the grasp of John Mackey, who went 45 yards to score on a 75-yard play.
Dallas' Chuck Howley, who picked off two passes, became the first defensive player and the first player
from a losing team to be named MVP.
SUPER BOWL V MVP : Chuck Howley LB Dallas Cowboys
Dallas linebacker Chuck Howley became the first defensive player to be named Most Valuable Player in a
Super Bowl.
But the honor had a hollow ring for Howley, who also became the first player from a losing team to be named MVP.
The Cowboys lost to the Colts 16-13 as rookie Jim O'Brien made a 32-yard field goal with five seconds remaining to win the game. Howley intercepted two passes and receovered a fumble to win the honor, although his effort was overshadowed by Baltimore's eventual win.
