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 time, a pair shared the Most Valuable Player honor. Defensive tackle Randy White and defensive end Harvey Martin were the leaders of a Dallas defense that forced eight Denver turnovers in a 27-10 victory. Bronco quarterbacks had only 8 completions in 25 attempts under the fierce Cowboy rush, led by White and Martin.

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.

      Super Bowl XLII

    • Super Bowl XLII: One of the Greatest

      He ought to know. He’s a player in the NFL who knows its history. He’s another Manning maybe you’ve heard of -- Peyton -- and that was his summary of Super Bowl XLII last Sunday night in Glendale, Arizona:

      "One of the greatest games of all time."

      In the game, his brother, New York Giants quarterback ELI MANNING, engineered one of the most memorable late-game-winning drives in Super Bowl history for a 17-14 victory over the New England Patriots at University of Phoenix Stadium. That drive included what many are calling the greatest play in Super Bowl history.         Continue ...

      Undefeated Destiny Disrupted for the 18 -1 New England Patriots

      With 2:49 left in Super Bowl XLII it seemed to be yet another perfectly scripted comeback victory for the New England Patriots as Tom Brady connected with Randy Moss for a 7-yard TD completion.  However, the Giants went off script as Eli Manning drove the Giants 83 yards for the game winning touchdown.

      Super Bowl XLII MVP Eli Manning ended the 12 play 83 yard winning drive when he found Plaxico Burress (17) in the corner of the end zone with 35 seconds to play.         Continue ...
