    This was the first truly legendary and epic Super Bowl.
    The first DAL-PIT SB was the first really fun Super Bowl with a lot of big moments: Lynn Swann's catches, Percy Howard, Lambert standing up to Cliff Harris and defending Gerela, which led to the classic "Jack Lambert is a defender of what is right" quote from Noll.
    It also had a few different nuances compared to a few years later:
    Dallas in SB X was a Wild Card and they had a lot of younger guys (The Dirty Dozen from their 1975 draft) and were probably not expected to face Pittsburgh at the Orange Bowl, and aesthetically the Orange Bowl looked a bit out of place with AstroTurf. (I think the other 3 NFC teams were probably seen as having a better shot making it to here since DAL didn't win their division)
    This Super Bowl (XIII) had so many things attached:
    First SB of the new 16-game season, 2 WC's per conference, 5 playoff teams per conference
    First season after rules changes to encourage passing (which Bradshaw and company clearly excelled at)
    The number of future Hall of Famers on both sides
    Both teams were vying to be the first 3x SB winner
    Dallas was defending SB champ, so you had 4 of the previous 7 SB winners
    The first SB where two teams faced off against each other a second time
    The Orange Bowl back to natural grass after a few years of turf
    Curt Gowdy calling his final NFL game for NBC
    The culmination of what I thought was one a landmark NFL season (16 games, extra playoff teams, the Wild Card game, the era of big play passing began)
    All in all, a truly super Super Bowl

      Yes yes u can say with out a dought this game didn't just just Pittsburgh and Dallas it help change and the concept of the SB being Boeing it help the passing game thats why not until 20 years later people were calling this the greatest SB ever played

      Yes, those are great reasons to justify this SB as the best and most evenly matched (along with the intensity of a 13-round heavyweight championship bout). The next SB where both teams entered with "established" championship traditions: XXX (same teams, different result).

      Besides - I found the sports announcer's original call very compelling...because he DIDN'T go overboard by suggesting it was a world shaking event. Just the States.

    I grew up watching these teams. Prior to Free Agency, teams that drafted well were loaded with talent. Since more players spent their career with only one team, you got to know your team's starters and backups on offense, defense and special teams, and you knew everything about the teams in their Division. For better or worse, the NFL was a Fan's League back in the day. My Dad was a Dolphins Fan, and he passed that down to me. We bonded on Sundays, and it was awesome.
    ***Players were being exploited by Team Owners, so I understand why Free Agency was implemented in 93'. I'm Not debating the issue in any way.***

    Aside from what's at stake for both teams in every Super Bowl, Super Bowl XIII had more at stake for both Pittsburgh and Dallas than any other Super Bowl that has taken place since January of 1967. This was the FIRST Super Bowl where both teams, both head coaches and both quarterbacks had won 2 Super Bowls in a calander decade(Steelers in 74 and 75...Cowboys in 71 and 77). The winner of this game would become the FIRST franchise to win 3 Super Bowls, and be crowned "Team of the Decade". Dallas would also become the 4th franchise to repeat as Super Bowl Champions

    One could argue that prior to this game, the defending champion Cowboys were the greatest team of the Super Bowl era. The 1977 Cowboys are the last NFL team to lead the league in Total Defense and Total Offense, and they outscored their playoff opponents 87-23. One could also argue that by defeating the Cowboys in Super Bowl 13, the 1978 Steelers became the greatest team in NFL history.

Simpson 2000 yards game break, 'The Sea Of Hands','The Hail Mary', 'Ghost To The Post', both AFC and NFC (1971-1980, 1981-1990, 1991-2000, 2001-2010) Wild Card, Divisional Playoff, and Conference Championship games, among others.

      No, the jackie drop was in 3rd qtr. It sucked, but that wasn't the only reason. Barnes getting called for a phantom pi on 3rd down was a killer, and a ridiculous call. Manster(why was he in on kickoff?), fumbling the kickoff was a huge blow. Refs blocking waters out on francos 4th qtr td run was another kick in the head. And beings how dorsett was killing that 'steel curtain', why did Mr.Landry quit running him? Tony averaged 6 yards a carry in that sb.

      Smith's drop - the pass wasn't perfect, but catchable - cost the Cowboys four points (they got a field goal). However, the botched reverse, Staubach's interception before halftime and White's fumbled kickoff resulted in 21 Steeler points. Those three turnovers are what cost Dallas the game, along with not giving the ball to Tony Dorsett.

    Everyone thinks of the Steel Curtain when you talk about Pittsburgh’s dominance of the NFL in the 70s, but damn Bradshaw was a great quarterback who still doesn’t get the credit he deserves. When the Steelers needed him, he delivered. Staubach was able to move the ball and score points against the Steeler’s defense, so they needed Bradshaw in this game and he was clutch. Threw 4 touchdown passes in this game and Pittsburgh needed every one of them in order to win.

    As a Cowboys fan I was so angry after this game that I was determined to prove that the Cowboys were STILL the "team of the decade". I poured over the W-L stats of both teams from 1970 through 1978 and was able to make a good argument that Dallas still had the edge. I factored in how the Cowboys were a Championship level team the first two years of the decade (going 1-1 in the SBs), while it took the Steelers longer to go to a SB (74). Dallas also had the overall advantage in every category, from the regular season W-L record, winning seasons, division titles, playoff games, etc. Then those damn Steelers went right back and won another SB in 79 and my whole argument went out the window.

      To break down your stance on the 24 point thought:
      Green Bay accumulated both 35 and 33 points in their wins in Super Bowls I and II.
      Dallas hit 24 in Super Bowl VI.
      Miami got to 24 in Super Bowl VIII.
      Oakland racked up 32 in Super Bowl XI.
      Lastly, Dallas put up 27 the year before in Super Bowl XII.

    Great game, no matter who you were routing for. I hated this Steelers team, but they were very very good. The one thing I hated the most, is that defense (Wagner was a particular Bastard) had a few who after a tackle who give that extra push, nudge, jab, and of course a Dallas player would push back. By then the refs were looking and would hold the Dallas offensive player back. There were some mistakes made by the refs in this game (The NFL acknowledged this later) but what a great game, which I feel even here in 2021 was the greatest Super Bowl yet. There is no way a game with this many Hall of Famers will be played again, the reason I feel is because of the free agency. Players are not on teams great lengths of time like they use to be. The Cowboys at the time always won when Dorsett got 100 yards, he got 96 that day. Roger and Terry had the same stats, except that TD column, and I dont even want to discuss why for a moment it was the same, then it wasn't. :(

Classic scores and scoring drives. This game had everything! To note, Dallas was the only team that Pittsburgh played in Both Super Bowl 10 and 13 that they were the only team to score a 1st quarter touchdown in the 1st quarter.

      One of the reasons Dallas couldn't win in both 10 and 13, was because Tom Landry didn't want to run the ball. Even though Newhouse in 1975, and Dorsett in 1978 were raking up crazy numbers in the running game and one of the few reasons to why Dallas Even made the super bowl in both years, but Landry didn't want to do that and instead tried to imitate the Steelers and wanted to pass. The pass to Jakie Smith was thrown like a Dart, even though Smith was WIDE OPEN, Staubach had plenty to time to get the ball to him.
