Super Bowl X
Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida The Steelers became only the second team in NFL history to win back-to-back Super Bowls after Terry Bradshaw's 64 yard-touchdown pass to Lynn Swann and an aggressive defense stopped a late rally by the Cowboys with an end-zone interception on the final play of the game. In the fourth quarter, Pittsburgh ran on fourth down and gave up the ball on the Cowboys' 39 yard line with 1:22 to play. Roger Staubach ran and passed for 2 first downs but his last desperation pass was picked off by Glenn Edwards in the end-zone. Staubach had already thrown two touchdowns, one a 29-yard pass to Drew Pearson and the other a 34-yard pass to Percy Howard. The Cowboys other score came on a Toni Fritsch 36-yard field goal. The Steelers scored on 2 touchdown passes by Bradshaw to Randy Grossman for 7 yards and the long bomb to Swann. Roy Gerela had 36 yard and 18 yard field goals. Reggie Harrison blocked a punt through the end zone for a safety. Swann set a Super Bowl record by gaining 161 yards on his 4 receptions.
