Super Bowl XII: Dallas Cowboys 27 Denver Broncos 10 | co-MVPs Randy White and Harvey Martin, Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys evened their Super Bowl record at 2-2 by defeating Denver before a sellout crowd of 75,583, plus 102,010,000 television viewers, the largest audience ever to watch a sporting event.

Dallas converted two interceptions into 10 points and Efren Herrera added a 35-yard field goal for a 13-0 halftime advantage.

In the third period Craig Morton engineered a drive to the Cowboys' 30 and Jim Turner's 47-yard field goal made the score 13-3.

After an exchange of punts, Butch Johnson made a spectacular diving catch in the end zone to complete a 45-yard pass from Roger Staubach and put the Cowboys ahead 20-3.

Following Rick Upchurch's 67-yard kickoff return, Norris Weese guided the Broncos to a touchdown to cut the Dallas lead to 20-10.

Dallas clinched the victory when running back Robert Newhouse tossed a 29-yard touchdown pass to Golden Richards with 7:04 remaining in the game. It was the first pass thrown by Newhouse since 1975.

Harvey Martin and Randy White, who were named co-most valuable players, led the Cowboys' defense, which recovered four fumbles and intercepted four passes

Super Bowl XII: Dallas Cowboys 27 Denver Broncos 10 | co-MVPs Randy White and Harvey Martin, Dallas Cowboys

For the first and only time in Super Bowl history, two players shared the MVP award. Defensive tackle Randy White and defensive end Harvey Martin were the leaders of a Dallas defense that forced eight Denver turnovers -- - four interceptions and four fumble recoveries -- in the 27-10 victory. Broncos quarterbacks had only 8 completions in 24 attempts under the fierce Cowboy rush, led by White and Martin. The Cowboys' "Doomsday Defense" led by White and Martin were instrumental in limiting the Broncos to only 156 yards of total offense (2.7 yards per play) in the 27-10 win.

Martin and White joined Dallas linebacker Chuck Howley (Super Bowl V) and Miami safety Jake Scott (Super Bowl VII) as the only defensive players to win the MVP award. Later Chicago defensive end Richard Dent (Super Bowl XX) and Dallas cornerback Larry Brown (Super Bowl XXX) would be added to the list.
