Dallas controlled the ball most of the game, running off 69 offensive plays (for 352 total yards) to Miami's 44 plays (for a Super Bowl record low of 185 yards). Leading only 10-3 at the half, the Cowboys marched 71 yards to start the third quarter and scored on a three-yard run by Thomas, who finished the game with 95 yards on 19 carries. The Dolphins' vaunted "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" combo, Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick, played more like Laurel and Hardy, combining for 80 yards on 19 carries. MVP Staubach connected on 12 of 19 passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns—including the final score of the game, a 7-yard pass to future Bears coach Mike Ditka, a Dallas tight end, which was set up by Chuck Howley's interception. Miami became the first team to not score a touchdown in a Super Bowl. Trumpeter Al Hirt appeared in his third Super Bowl halftime show in six years. |

The Dallas Cowboys had ended every season since 1966 with a loss in the playoffs. But now they were hopeful in kicking the habit with a new quarterback in charge of the offense. With Head Coach Tom Landry calling the plays, Roger Staubach and Craig Morton alternated at quarterback for the first seven games, three of them losses.
Once Landry finally settled at Staubach as field general, things dramatically improved and the Cowboys won their last 8 games including playoff victories over Minnesota, 20-12, and San Francisco, 14-3.
The Cowboys leading rusher was Duane Thomas, who gained 793 yards in 175 carries during a turbulent season that began when Thomas, reacting to managements refusal to tear up the last two years of a three year contract, missed a practice and was fined.
Thomas was traded to New England, but his career with the Patriots was terminated abruptly. He was returned to the Cowboys labeled as "uncooperative". Thomas immediately adopted a vow of silence with the news media and teammates.
The Miami Dolphins, in the second season under Head Coach Don Shula opened a schedule with a 10-10 to Denver, defeated Buffalo, lost to the Jets and then ran off eight victories before suffering defeats by New England and Baltimore. In the playoffs, the Dolphins defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 27-24, in a double overtime classic and wrapped up the conference title with a 21-0 win over the Baltimore Colts.
Larry Csonka had not fumbled all season until the Dolphins second possession of Superbowl VI. The Cowboys immediately moved the ball downfield and kicked a 9-yard field goal by Mike Clark giving Dallas a 3-0 lead with 1:23 left in the first quarter. The Cowboys stingy defense was evident on their next series. On 3rd down and 9 at the Dolphins 38-yard line, Bob Griese went back to pass, with no receivers open, Griese scrambled trying to avoid Bob Lilly zigzagged across the field and was finally sacked for a 29 yard loss.
The Cowboys increased their lead to 10-0 in the second quarter when the Cowboys marched 76 yards in 8 plays. Duane Thomas and Calvin Hill reeling off huge gains through gapping holes. The drive culminated in a 7-yard pass from Roger Staubach to Lance Alworth with 1:15 remaining in the half. Miami managed to work in a field goal to make the score 10-3 before the half ended.
The Cowboys took the second half kickoff 71 yards in 8 plays. Duane Thomas gained 37
yards on the drive and scored on a 3 yard touchdown run to improve their lead to 17-3.
With only 15 minutes remaining and trailing by 2 touchdowns the Dolphins desperately
needed some offense. Instead they ran into more trouble. Chuck Howley had been
knocked down when a pass from Bob Griese was thrown, however he managed to get up
and pick off a pass intended for Jim Kiick and ran the ball all the way to the Miami 9-yard
line. Roger Staubach hit Mike Ditka 3 plays later for a 7 yard scoring strike to make the
final score 24-3.
