Miami, March 4—If you’re a sports fan, you watched the last Super Bowl, one of the best of the series. The Dallas Cowboys were the underdogs, a team with neither the depth nor the experience of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the incumbent NFL champions.
What the Cowboys did have, however, was an explosive offense led by quarterback Roger Staubach, who in the crucial games of the season had consistently stunned opponents with unpredictable plays and sudden long scoring passes. It was this ability to strike quickly, to dazzle, to keep the other team off balance, that brought the Cowboys to the Super Bowl. And it was this offensive ability that gave the Cowboys a lead over the Steelers at half-time. The famous Steeler defense just didn’t seem able to diagnose the Cowboy plays, and Terry Bradshaw, the stolid and accident-prone Steeler quarterback, was stumbling, uncertain, blundering.
