Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida January 18, 1976; Attendance: 80,187
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.
