That legendary steel curtain running out with the front four together. They used to show on NFL films all the time. That's the scene from it Even though I'm a cowboys fan. This was the greatest display of talent ever. The 78 one was truly that but 75 the Steelers defense still had Andy Russell and they were just loaded. I mean this was when you were allowed to play defense unlike now where the NFL's been destroyed by the rules. You can't have a great defense now. The Rams have all those good players on defense but they don't look very good when you watch them because they're not allowed to go all out or they'll get penalties called on them. This was when the game was at its peak
That’s every game nowadays if you DVR the games. Just have to be willing to not watch them live, which I am. I wait a couple hours. You just have to get used to avoiding hearing the scores or being around people who you know will be watching the games.

Mason Winner I already knew about the whole game before hand. Just making a good comment because that’s a real observation. The game isn’t as physical today as it was.
Bradshaw never gets the credit he deserves for those 4 sb wins. He had a rocket for an arm, he pounded like a fullback and he called his own plays. The perfect Qb for the perfect team.
That's because he shouldn't get much credit for TEAM achievements. Further, the Steelers won the '74 Super Bowl IN SPITE of Bradshaw, who was benched numerous times during the '74 season. Bradshaw didn't become good/great until ~'77.
@@lunaticfringe896 Hard to argue with what you're saying. The Steelers were a defensive juggernaut with a mostly ground game for their first two SB. TB didn't really figure it out till his late 20's.
If you've ever seen the movie "Black Sunday," there is some real footage from this game. One of my favorite scenes involves the actor Robert Shaw watching the athletes as they pour past him onto the field, and you can see it is in real time. For just a second, you see this wistful, admiring look on Shaw's face, watching these great athletes pass by, as if he is saying, "If only I could chance me arm out there with ya, lads!" It's a nice image.
Did you catch the blooper in the movie , it was filmed in Jam 1976 , as SB 10 was played but they portrayed Jimmy Carter as president , when in fact he had not become president until Jam ,20 1977, ford was president all of 1976 , also Dolphins owner Joe Robbie had a cameo in movie .
My parents had this game on TV when I was 6 years old and wasn't into sports yet. I asked dad to turn the channel because I wanted to watch something else. But he was a Steelers fan and wouldn't do it of course lol. Mom didn't like football much but had a crush on Roger Staubach. So, I went along my way. Anyway, watching this full game for the first time brings back that memory. Mom died just 20 months after this game was played. But this was a great game, the way football should be played. I miss that old school football, which I began watching just a couple years later.
Really? We've paid for years n years....now they "allow" us a game a day.....no offense but yea right how big of them. On top of that it took a pandemic......Blessings to you.
That was some sweet throw from Bradshaw to Swann...stepping up, reloading and launching a rocket while getting punched in the mouth...a real man's throw.
Not a penalty back then. Rules were very different back then especially how much allowable shoving and roughhousing there was between WRs and CBs! Look how the O-linemen block. They were not allowed to extend their arms full length to block or that would have been called a penalty. Illegal shift as we know today didn't exist back then. Also Bradshaw was hit in the face with a helmet. Would be a penalty and possible ejection in today's game. Why didn't you want to talk about a helmet to helmet dirty hit on Bradshaw that wasn't flagged?

I was at that game and was 16 years old. Me and a friend saw a classified ad the night before to sell drinks. I didn't think there was a chance we would get in but we did. While waiting in line to get the job, we saw Franco Harris arrive in a cab and give the driver a $20 bill which was quite a tip in those days. Also we saw the Dallas Cowboys bus arrive with Tom Landry and Roger Staubach sitting in the front. We wore Zum Zum smocks as our uniform. We had to buy the drinks at a reduced price and they sold for 50 cents. I remember it practically broke me to buy the drinks and I was very focused on selling them to get my money back and not watching the game. In the 4th quarter we went up to the upper deck and there were plenty of seats and we watched the game from there. At that Super Bowl there were many people there wearing badges for the movie Black Sunday. At the end of the game Phyllis George, Irv Cross, and Brent Musburger were broadcasting in the stands. Me and my friend were standing on top of the rails in the stands so we could see and yell at Phyllis better. A Miami cop came and told us to get down and took our Zum Zum smocks from us. He told us you will never work here again. And he was right, but then we never tried to work there again. :) Great memories!
Never saw this b4. Bradshaw had some wheels (never knew he was able to run like that) and he made some clutch throws... He was really impressive and had quite an arm. And Staubach, who was one of my childhood idols - seemingly didn't have the ability to "Throw the ball away". He'd have a couple of guys chasing him and he'd just try to evade them but take sacks. + that 4th Quarter Int. on their end of the field really hurt. Hollywood Henderson was also quite an impressive athlete. Happy I finally saw this.
I hate to say it (because of longterm health effects) but the game is much more enjoyable to watch back then. Less penalties a lot less commercials and just non-stop football. Lambert throws a guy to the turf for taunting his teammate: No problem, lets go play. Nobody walking on egg shells, no over thinking things. Love it.
The way Lynn Swann gets up and gives the ball to the ref as if he didn’t just make 2 of the greatest catches in history made it so much cooler. I’ve got nothing against players celebrating after making a big play but it’s not as cool as playing it cool.
It’s surreal to see the famous Lynn Swann catch in its original broadcast angle after only knowing of the NFL Films replays growing up. Man if ten year old me had access to all the full games you can pull up on UA-cam now, I would have been ecstatic! Better late than never for sure though.
When superbowls were in the growing period, still played during the day ,now it's a 'primetime game which makes it better for viewing love the old school though Steelers team of the 70's
Yes but remember, Franco Harris only ran for 82 yards in Super Bowl X. That's a decent amount nowadays, but running was most of your offense in the 1970s, even for teams like the Raiders that had a deep passing game. A book I read about these two Super Bowls, X and XIII (The Ones Who Hit the Hardest) talked about how the Cowboys were about the only team that had forced the Steelers to throw the ball. Even Mike Wagner said how much they needed Swann that day.
4:30 That is a pretty impressive TD-saving tackle by little Roy Gerela, the kicker. Taking down a linebacker with 9.5 speed. The downside is that Gerela hurt himself on that play, which is probably why he ended up missing two field goals and an extra point that day.
cowboy fan here.............even though we lost,this was still the best SB I ever saw untill SB 51. Actually there were no losers really in this game. Both teams were great...........especially Lynn Swans great catches.........................
That unbelievably crooked '`pass interference call" that the referee Fred Swearingen threw on Benny Barnes, when it was perfectly clear that Swann slowed down and tried to cut behind Barnes and he initiated contact by tripping over the legs of Bennie Barnes in his vain effort to try to reach for the football - that one single play turned the game around when Dallas had the momentum and was going to win that football game. I found it odd that the still photograph that is used for this video before you hit play shows that very same play. Obviously who ever chose that still shot was a Steelers fan and knows full well that the call was crooked as a dog's hind leg, and is taking some kind of twisted delight in rubbing Cowboy fan's noses in how they got away with that dishonest B.S. That game was rigged.
@@augustusmccrae7714 what game were you watching? The Steelers were winning and neither team had momentum as the defenses tightened up after the first half. It was the correct call by 1978 rules..a no call today. But if this game was rigged, the Hail Mary game was too because that was blatant OPI on Pearson pushing the Vikings DB down. If it wasn’t for that Dallas isn’t even in this SB. If John Stallworth didn’t get hurt this game isn’t close because he was wearing Aaron Kyle out.
@@Biggdoom344 I referring not to the Super Bowl between Dallas and the Stealers in Super Bowl X, which was the year Dallas first implemented the shotgun formation and the team had something like a dozen rookies on it. The game I am referring to was Super Bowl XIII. And, on a crucial third down - where Dallas had stuffed the Stealers on two consecutive downs, on 3rd and long, Little Abner heaves a desperation pass downfield, supposedly in the direction of the pattern Lynn Swann was running, and due to defensive rush, the pass sailed too far towards the middle of the field. Benny Barnes had Swann covered like a blanket, and Swann had to slow down, and try to cut behind and underneath Barnes in a vain effort to reach the football, that was when Swann initiated contact with Barnes and deliberately tripped over Barnes's legs. The crooked referee threw a flag and called that pass interference was Fred Swearingen. I suggest you hit youtube and download that Super Bowl game and give it another watch.
@@augustusmccrae7714 why did you pick this comment to gripe about a 45 year old play that will never be changed? the original comment was posted by a rather fair and objective cowboys fan. im a Steelers fan. i love these old games. and i like watching how well Dallas played too.
Rocky didn't volunteer for Vietnam. I saw him in an interview, and he was kind of upset. Rocky said that the NFL was supposed to keep him out of the war and there was some kind of clerical screw up and he had to go to Vietyum. Lifelong Steelers fan and these uploads are great. I was just a young tyke when these games aired.
Most people don't realize that this superbowl and the second Giants Patriots superbowl had exactly the same scoring plays. In both superbowls, the losing team had two touchdowns and a field goal, and the winning teams had two touchdowns, one missed conversion, two field goals and one safety. Both games finished 21-17.
This was the first professional football game i ever watched. I was 8 yrs old. My first thought was the Steelers looked like the bad guys because their colors were black and the Cowboys were the good guys because they were white and blue. Bradshaw was the leader of the bad guys and Staubach was the leader of the good guys. Watching this game with my dad was an incredible experience. I'll never forget it.
My parents were at the game in the crowd at the end zone where Swann scored. It took Noll some serious giant size balls to go for it on 4th and 9 instead of punting. He knew he had a couple of punts almost blocked already and that Dallas was out of timeouts. He left it up to his defense and his gamble paid off. Had Bradshaw still been in the game they probably would have closed it out after the on sides kick recovery. I'm sure Terry would have at least thrown one short pass that went for enough yds to probably set up a first down conversion or maybe a bootleg run by him. Noll wasn't having Hanratty put the ball in the air at all. I'm a bit surprised though that on the 4th and 9 Noll didn't hand it off to Franco. Yes, he'd been contained that day but with him you always had a shot that he could make something happen and get lucky enough to get the 9 yds.
Noll said the reason he went for it was based on the fact Dallas nearly blocked two punts. I can’t blame him. The Steelers kicking game or lack of it is the only reason this game was close.
Typical cynical hipster response. NFL was more of a defensive game in 1975. That would change a few years later in 1978 with rule changes that benefitted the offense. That way people like you wouldn't turn it off to play Atari. This was when players were men and the officials let the games be decided by the players. Not a bunch of stupid rules.
The replay is at 1:14:01. I wonder if maybe the Steelers won the game at that moment. If Harris comes up swinging - maybe better for the team vibe than whining and pointing fingers like a four year old.
1975 a less stressful time😭?Liberal feminist movement , Vietnam war vets physical and mental trauma coming home from Vietnam , gas price increases , unemployment peaks at 9.0 ,Water gate scandal cover up , racial inequality fight , etc what are you people talking about in terms of a more peaceful ,less stressful time period ? The 70's decade was as every bit chaotic as any other ,a US .President literally gave up his term in office prematurely in this decade ! The false nostalgia mindset that people apply to past years/ decades always amusses me when the mantra " it was so much better then is applied to appease them " . Much of what is going on now was happening in 75 also ,no social media outlets were available to instantaneously afford the masses a viable outlet to emmediate or thorough information thus the perception of things being less toxic is falsely percieved by those who obviously weren't cognizant or weren't fully educated objectively upon social issues who now recount events with a blind fold .
@@haroldmccoy6580 Notice that I said a simpler and better time for the Super Bowl. But since you brought it up, while not perfect, the 70's beats the hell out of these days!
That play at 131:51 , if Franco hadn't stepped out by an inch it would have been an 80 something yard td pass. Easily the longest td pass in superbowl history at that time.
It was the time when football was played by real men, and not man bunned primadonna's you see nowadays acting like morons with their weird celebrations every time they make a play.
and in 1976 the ADULTS were saying the young ppl then were acting like babies. this was almost 50 years ago. why would some old people today think that kid today acted like they did back then. get a grip
1:13:40 I never became a Steeler fan. But this was the instant I became a Jack Lambert fan. Absolutely loved seeing him take up for Roy Gerela. And I started this game wanting the Cowboys to win because the Steelers had beaten my Vikings in the previous Super Bowl. But that play by Lambert throwing Cliff Harris to the ground completely turned me around on this game.
Lynn Swann may have had only 336 receptions in his career, but he made some of the most iconic catches in Super Bowl history - the reason he's in the Hall of Fame.
When you consider 14 game schedules, and an offense that ran the ball 40 times a game, with 2 RBs that both had great hands themselves, and the other WR across from you was great as well, i think it's a miracle that Swann had 336!!
Let's also remember that Swann only played 9 seasons (4 with 14 games, 4 with 16 games and the final an injury riddled 9 game strike shortened season) and for 6 of the 9 seasons, Swann was superior to Stallworth (certainly no knock on him). Imagine both guys in today's NFL..
@@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs Good point. It took him a long time to get into the HOF. If you take away those 3 iconic Super Bowl receptions captured by NFL films, it may have taken much longer, if at all.
@@kiggss no it wasn’t most of that game was steelers dominance till the 4th quarter great game but to be the best you have to exiting all throughout which these games and the patriots and Seahawk’s had
Old football was so much fun, no stupid defensive penalties when the db touches the receiver once. Terry Bradshaw was a true legend. Did the TB 12 first
@@alfiebruce8998 This game as of today, May 1, 2020 is 44 years old. Most of the players who participated in this game, if still living, are in their late 60's to mid to late 70's. Some are living well, some/all have some physical ailments from their playing days, some are deceased. Let's see if those players who participated in Super Bowl LIV how they're living 44 years from now, and see what effects the safety rules in 2020 have on them
I can see why this was considered by many to be the greatest Super Bowl of all time, for the longest time. It really was a fantastic game. NFL Films highlight is really cool, but it doesn't do the game justice. If you're a real football nerd like myself, take the time and watch this broadcast in it's entirety. You wont be sorry.
Being a Steelers fan, great great memories. 2 dynasties slugging it out. I was a senior in high school and these teams seemed bigger then life. Again great memories.
The most jarring thing about this era of football is all the formation shifts, and the suddenness with which the offensive players do it. It feels at times like it should be a penalty for a false start, and with modern officials, it probably would be called that way. Props to the defenses for not jumping offsides like 50 times in this game because I keep thinking the defense will encroach.
What a game! Future Hall of Famers, everywhere you look. Lynn Swann was spectacular, the defenses, and Staubach throwing into the end zone on the game's final play trying to win it. This was the Super Bowl that made America sit up and take notice!
@@indy_go_blue6048 While the Jets/Colts III matchup did put the SB on the map, Ron is correct. This historic Super Bowl 10 game is what turned this NFL World Championship game into a semi "national holiday" in America. Plus replacing the MLB World Series as the most covered sporting event as well. Not to mention the SB phenomenon later spreading and becoming on an international level an unofficial holiday in Canada, Mexico and Much of Europe as well by the end of the 20th century.
FYI: This was one of the three Goodyear blimps used in "Black Sunday" (Mayflower N1A). Filming of the climactic scenes were played on the week of January 29, 1976, just less than two weeks after the REAL Super Bowl.
Design I can easily see MLB bringing back at least 1 late afternoon W.S game quicker than the "prime time" SB. Only change I can see in near future is that the SB is moved up 1 more weekend to played on the President's Day Holiday Weekend in America since most people in the US are off the next day from work/school.
@@americangiant1003 You're kidding I hope. Most employers completely ignore the "little holidays" like MLK, President, Juneteenth and Columbus Days. The only ones off work are federal, state or municipal employees and banks.
@@indy_go_blue6048 At least it's more benefits to play on the President Holiday Weekend than the current set-up of the 2nd Sunday in February. It's a proven fact, that more Americans call in "sick" the day after the super bowl than any other non-major official holiday i.e January 2nd. While officially a large amount of people will still be at work, at least it's prevents the loss of manpower hours by playing the "Big Game" on President's Weekend. Some people have been calling for the SB to be played on Saturday Night which of course will never happen. The Sunday of that Mid February Holiday weekend is probably the best solution. FYI. Most Schools/College are already closed for President's Day as well. So yes Indy I am serious on that proposal.
Huge Props to CBS here. The camera shots, graphics and overall production of this Super Bowl was way ahead of its time over then current 1975-1976 standards. This video easily could have looked a NFL regular season game as late as say 1990. Plus looks as modern as any game in the pre full time on screen scoreboard now standard on all sporting events here in the 2020's. Plus a HOF broadcast team of Tom and Pat does not hurt either.
Top 5 super bowl all time no doubt, not a shootout but also not a bore fest as the offense and defensive performances were balanced which always makes a great game.
Thank you for putting these games up! It was before my time, but I love football and history so I love watching these old games. Seen this one and XIII a few times a piece. I wish all playoff games or at least the Championship Games were on here but I'll take anything I can get!i used to drive a street sweeper a lot and it had a plug for your phone to connect with the radio. I would pick old games I hadn't seen or heard yet and I play the audio only so it was just like I was listening to it being broascast on the radio. Loved it!
On this Super Bowl Sunday 2021, I choose to watch X again instead of LV. This classic shows how football primarily focused on the game and not politics.
I always wondered why Dallas just didnt kick it deep instead of an onsides kick, they had three timeouts and Pittsburgh had a quarterback who couldnt pass. They would have had great field position with lots of time left.
Look how beautiful this game looks being played outside, and during the day!

The way Lynn Swann gets up and gives the ball to the ref as if he didn’t just make 2 of the greatest catches in history made it so much cooler. I’ve got nothing against players celebrating after making a big play but it’s not as cool as playing it cool.
Deion Sanders was a particularly irritating showboat, among many others.
My dad played in this game and I think it’s awesome these old games are being remastered and uploaded for people to watch !
Your dad is Mike Webster?
Prston Pearson...the first player to play on 3 SB teams. Baltimore, 1968 Pittsburgh 1974, Dallas, 1975, 1977
It’s surreal to see the famous Lynn Swann catch in its original broadcast angle after only knowing of the NFL Films replays growing up. Man if ten year old me had access to all the full games you can pull up on UA-cam now, I would have been ecstatic! Better late than never for sure though.
When superbowls were in the growing period, still played during the day ,now it's a 'primetime game which makes it better for viewing love the old school though Steelers team of the 70's
Steve Sabal hated it , he loved sunshine games for filming .
1970-79 5 teams won all the Superbowls! Pittsburgh and Dallas won 6 combined! Good times!
Miami -2
Oakland -1
Baltimore -1
6 teams won a Superbowl from 1970-79. Pittsburgh and Dallas won only 5 combined in that decade.
The Steelers could pound the football. Those blocking schemes were awesome.
And Swann’s catch at 17:10 - incredible.
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....
Yes but remember, Franco Harris only ran for 82 yards in Super Bowl X. That's a decent amount nowadays, but running was most of your offense in the 1970s, even for teams like the Raiders that had a deep passing game.
A book I read about these two Super Bowls, X and XIII (The Ones Who Hit the Hardest) talked about how the Cowboys were about the only team that had forced the Steelers to throw the ball. Even Mike Wagner said how much they needed Swann that day.
This is the best picture quality of Super Bowl X that I have seen. A+.
Some of the best football in the history of the game ! I watched this game as a child and it was great watching it again 55 years later !!
This was 1976, 44 years ago. Special Bicentennial patch on their jerseys.
@@CarlettoPuglia I only missed it by 11 years ! LOL
Preston Pearson and Roger Staubach cost the Cowboys about 40 Seconds by not getting out of bounds on last drive. That was terrible
Roger Staubach did not manage time at the end.
Mark Washington didn't have bad coverage on Swann. The balls were right on target, and Swann made great catches.
and that's why Bradshaw is THE REAL TB12
I like the history games... Please more
4:30 That is a pretty impressive TD-saving tackle by little Roy Gerela, the kicker. Taking down a linebacker with 9.5 speed. The downside is that Gerela hurt himself on that play, which is probably why he ended up missing two field goals and an extra point that day.
Great game. It's easy to forget just how amazing both teams were on both sides of the ball.
They uploaded it cuz were in quarantine😂thanks NFL
Ya. I always loved the Steelers. But if they sign Winston from Tampa bay I wont be happy.
@@IamVintage72 Well im a seahawks fan but yall got Winston not gunna be a good season for yall
@@bel398 ua-cam.com/video/JoDp8t49wu4/v-deo.html
@@IamVintage72 im gonna tell you this now. They wont trade Winston(thank god) i think the steelers will be fine with Mason Rudolph and Big Ben.
yesssssssssssssssssssssssss....."THANKS"...
cowboy fan here.............even though we lost,this was still the best SB I ever saw untill SB 51. Actually there were no losers really in this game. Both teams were great...........especially Lynn Swans great catches.........................
That unbelievably crooked '`pass interference call" that the referee Fred Swearingen threw on Benny Barnes, when it was perfectly clear that Swann slowed down and tried to cut behind Barnes and he initiated contact by tripping over the legs of Bennie Barnes in his vain effort to try to reach for the football - that one single play turned the game around when Dallas had the momentum and was going to win that football game. I found it odd that the still photograph that is used for this video before you hit play shows that very same play. Obviously who ever chose that still shot was a Steelers fan and knows full well that the call was crooked as a dog's hind leg, and is taking some kind of twisted delight in rubbing Cowboy fan's noses in how they got away with that dishonest B.S.
That game was rigged.
@@augustusmccrae7714 what game were you watching? The Steelers were winning and neither team had momentum as the defenses tightened up after the first half. It was the correct call by 1978 rules..a no call today. But if this game was rigged, the Hail Mary game was too because that was blatant OPI on Pearson pushing the Vikings DB down. If it wasn’t for that Dallas isn’t even in this SB. If John Stallworth didn’t get hurt this game isn’t close because he was wearing Aaron Kyle out.
@@Biggdoom344 I referring not to the Super Bowl between Dallas and the Stealers in Super Bowl X, which was the year Dallas first implemented the shotgun formation and the team had something like a dozen rookies on it. The game I am referring to was Super Bowl XIII. And, on a crucial third down - where Dallas had stuffed the Stealers on two consecutive downs, on 3rd and long, Little Abner heaves a desperation pass downfield, supposedly in the direction of the pattern Lynn Swann was running, and due to defensive rush, the pass sailed too far towards the middle of the field. Benny Barnes had Swann covered like a blanket, and Swann had to slow down, and try to cut behind and underneath Barnes in a vain effort to reach the football, that was when Swann initiated contact with Barnes and deliberately tripped over Barnes's legs. The crooked referee threw a flag and called that pass interference was Fred Swearingen.
I suggest you hit youtube and download that Super Bowl game and give it another watch.
@@augustusmccrae7714 why did you pick this comment to gripe about a 45 year old play that will never be changed? the original comment was posted by a rather fair and objective cowboys fan. im a Steelers fan. i love these old games. and i like watching how well Dallas played too.
Wow NFL. You really killing it with these uploads
Ye
Why is that?
70's NFL was the best..
Rocky didn't volunteer for Vietnam. I saw him in an interview, and he was kind of upset. Rocky said that the NFL was supposed to keep him out of the war and there was some kind of clerical screw up and he had to go to Vietyum. Lifelong Steelers fan and these uploads are great. I was just a young tyke when these games aired.
1:13:30 Jack Lambert throws Cliff Harris to the ground after he saw him taunting Roy Gerela. That was awesome!!
Most people don't realize that this superbowl and the second Giants Patriots superbowl had exactly the same scoring plays. In both superbowls, the losing team had two touchdowns and a field goal, and the winning teams had two touchdowns, one missed conversion, two field goals and one safety. Both games finished 21-17.
That’s great knowledge there.
Who’s ready when these two teams face off at the 2020 Hall of Fame game?
I am
Alot more people will be dead. Sports are worthless
If there will be one
@@spookystone846 there wont
Life as we knew it is dead and gone
I miss going to games at the Orange Bowl. So much football history there. City of Miami should've never tore it down.
Coach Landry dressed sharp as usual
It's about time NFL! You have a vault of NFL gold. Show it!
17:00 what a catch by Lynn Swann
It's always good game when these 2 face off
Let's play how many HOFers are on the field in this game
Too many to count
I can think of 6 or 7
I just looked it up, there are 12 HoF players in this game.
@@JayL3wis That's crazy. Thanks for the number
@@alexshuster461 Not a problem.
56 degrees in the late afternoon in Miami? That's freezing for those folks..lol
As I recall it was chilly all over the country that weekend. I'm from Phoenix and it was about 58 when it should have been 65-70.
Funny, it was unseasonably warm in PA. Temp in the low 40s and sunny.
When Pittsburgh and Dallas played they were always great games
This was the first professional football game i ever watched. I was 8 yrs old. My first thought was the Steelers looked like the bad guys because their colors were black and the Cowboys were the good guys because they were white and blue. Bradshaw was the leader of the bad guys and Staubach was the leader of the good guys. Watching this game with my dad was an incredible experience. I'll never forget it.
@@surfshack2bro really
@@legogun_frank the truth. I was a little kid so I made up bad guys vs good guys.
@@surfshack2that was me when the Giants Played the Patriots ( Giants fan)
@@kingsproductions0 I’m assuming the Giants were the bad guys?
My parents were at the game in the crowd at the end zone where Swann scored. It took Noll some serious giant size balls to go for it on 4th and 9 instead of punting. He knew he had a couple of punts almost blocked already and that Dallas was out of timeouts. He left it up to his defense and his gamble paid off. Had Bradshaw still been in the game they probably would have closed it out after the on sides kick recovery. I'm sure Terry would have at least thrown one short pass that went for enough yds to probably set up a first down conversion or maybe a bootleg run by him. Noll wasn't having Hanratty put the ball in the air at all. I'm a bit surprised though that on the 4th and 9 Noll didn't hand it off to Franco. Yes, he'd been contained that day but with him you always had a shot that he could make something happen and get lucky enough to get the 9 yds.
Noll said the reason he went for it was based on the fact Dallas nearly blocked two punts. I can’t blame him. The Steelers kicking game or lack of it is the only reason this game was close.
For the people who actually watched the whole vid....RESPECT!!!
people had attention spans back then
I've seen this game many times. Vhs tapes etc. Best quality I've ever seen of it.
Why would it be difficult to watch all the way through? It's a pretty good game.
Typical cynical hipster response. NFL was more of a defensive game in 1975. That would change a few years later in 1978 with rule changes that benefitted the offense. That way people like you wouldn't turn it off to play Atari. This was when players were men and the officials let the games be decided by the players. Not a bunch of stupid rules.
@@Bigchet1223 You talking to me? Because I literally just said nothing but positive things about this game.
1:13:35. Jack Lambert’s legendary throw down of Cliff Harris.
The replay is at 1:14:01. I wonder if maybe the Steelers won the game at that moment. If Harris comes up swinging - maybe better for the team vibe than whining and pointing fingers like a four year old.
A much simpler and better time, for the Super Bowl!
You're right, too much drama today
1975 a less stressful time😭?Liberal feminist movement , Vietnam war vets physical and mental trauma coming home from Vietnam , gas price increases , unemployment peaks at 9.0 ,Water gate scandal cover up , racial inequality fight , etc what are you people talking about in terms of a more peaceful ,less stressful time period ? The 70's decade was as every bit chaotic as any other ,a US .President literally gave up his term in office prematurely in this decade ! The false nostalgia mindset that people apply to past years/ decades always amusses me when the mantra " it was so much better then is applied to appease them " . Much of what is going on now was happening in 75 also ,no social media outlets were available to instantaneously afford the masses a viable outlet to emmediate or thorough information thus the perception of things being less toxic is falsely percieved by those who obviously weren't cognizant or weren't fully educated objectively upon social issues who now recount events with a blind fold .
@@haroldmccoy6580 Notice that I said a simpler and better time for the Super Bowl. But since you brought it up, while not perfect, the 70's beats the hell out of these days!
AND A MUCH SIMPLER AND BETTER TIME IN AMERICA...
@@haroldmccoy6580 Blah Blah Blah
That play at 131:51 , if Franco hadn't stepped out by an inch it would have been an 80 something yard td pass. Easily the longest td pass in superbowl history at that time.
Film quality is SPECTACULAR!
Great to see pros acting like pros and not acting like excited children every time they make a play. No stupid dances. No pre planned theatrics.
Also it’s nice to see real football not the kind where every time you hit someone it’s a flag
Bro hates players having fun
@@ec7057 you can “have fun” without acting like idiots. So many of the modern players’ in game celebrations are bush league.
It was the time when football was played by real men, and not man bunned primadonna's you see nowadays acting like morons with their weird celebrations every time they make a play.
and in 1976 the ADULTS were saying the young ppl then were acting like babies. this was almost 50 years ago. why would some old people today think that kid today acted like they did back then. get a grip
1:13:40 I never became a Steeler fan. But this was the instant I became a Jack Lambert fan. Absolutely loved seeing him take up for Roy Gerela. And I started this game wanting the Cowboys to win because the Steelers had beaten my Vikings in the previous Super Bowl. But that play by Lambert throwing Cliff Harris to the ground completely turned me around on this game.
Jack Lambert's standing up for Roy Gerela is the unofficial Play of the Game. It was a clear-cut message to the Cowboys.
Lynn Swann may have had only 336 receptions in his career, but he made some of the most iconic catches in Super Bowl history - the reason he's in the Hall of Fame.
When you consider 14 game schedules, and an offense that ran the ball 40 times a game, with 2 RBs that both had great hands themselves, and the other WR across from you was great as well, i think it's a miracle that Swann had 336!!
Let's also remember that Swann only played 9 seasons (4 with 14 games, 4 with 16 games and the final an injury riddled 9 game strike shortened season) and for 6 of the 9 seasons, Swann was superior to Stallworth (certainly no knock on him). Imagine both guys in today's NFL..
@@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs
Good point. It took him a long time to get into the HOF. If you take away those 3 iconic Super Bowl receptions captured by NFL films, it may have taken much longer, if at all.
you gotta give it up to the nfl for releasing all this gold
yessssssss uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu do.....
Oh I'm glad they're replaying this. I missed it.
Ima 80s baby im 42 years old this game was before my time wow
1:58:11, Bradshaw with that absolute CANON
Bradshaw had a million dollar arm and a ten dollar brain..lol
@@mikepatrick5909 called his own plays, won 4 sb, mvp twice of the sb, take that anyday....
The Steelers and the Cowboys I think had the best and the most exciting superbowls ever, 10&13.
They were epic games
Don’t sit here and lie the cardinals and Steelers was the most exciting
@@kiggss no it wasn’t most of that game was steelers dominance till the 4th quarter great game but to be the best you have to exiting all throughout which these games and the patriots and Seahawk’s had
What about SB 30?

1:58:12
most graceful player ever.
Old football was so much fun, no stupid defensive penalties when the db touches the receiver once. Terry Bradshaw was a true legend. Did the TB 12 first
I remember the game vividly. We lived a few blocks from the iconic Orange Bowl during the 70s. We could hear the fans screaming.
If this game is available to watch in HD on UA-cam, how come it isn't taking up the entire screen like Super Bowl 43 did, for example?...
This was when football was still a real man's sport !!
Yeah but pretty sure players nowadays will be glad they dont all suffer from cte and other mental illnesses just for ur entertainment
Yes because if half the field doesnt have a concussion or slight brain damage its not a real man's sport
Alfie Bruce they are more effeminate nowadays.
@@alfiebruce8998 This game as of today, May 1, 2020 is 44 years old. Most of the players who participated in this game, if still living, are in their late 60's to mid to late 70's. Some are living well, some/all have some physical ailments from their playing days, some are deceased. Let's see if those players who participated in Super Bowl LIV how they're living 44 years from now, and see what effects the safety rules in 2020 have on them
I can see why this was considered by many to be the greatest Super Bowl of all time, for the longest time. It really was a fantastic game. NFL Films highlight is really cool, but it doesn't do the game justice. If you're a real football nerd like myself, take the time and watch this broadcast in it's entirety. You wont be sorry.
Being a Steelers fan, great great memories. 2 dynasties slugging it out. I was a senior in high school and these teams seemed bigger then life. Again great memories.
The most jarring thing about this era of football is all the formation shifts, and the suddenness with which the offensive players do it. It feels at times like it should be a penalty for a false start, and with modern officials, it probably would be called that way. Props to the defenses for not jumping offsides like 50 times in this game because I keep thinking the defense will encroach.
Man that video looks good! I was 11 when this game was played watchin' with my Dad & my younger lifelong Cowboys fan brother.
What a game! Future Hall of Famers, everywhere you look. Lynn Swann was spectacular, the defenses, and Staubach throwing into the end zone on the game's final play trying to win it. This was the Super Bowl that made America sit up and take notice!
I thought the Jets-Colts was supposed to have done that?
@@indy_go_blue6048 While the Jets/Colts III matchup did put the SB on the map, Ron is correct. This historic Super Bowl 10 game is what turned this NFL World Championship game into a semi "national holiday" in America. Plus replacing the MLB World Series as the most covered sporting event as well. Not to mention the SB phenomenon later spreading and becoming on an international level an unofficial holiday in Canada, Mexico and Much of Europe as well by the end of the 20th century.
Probably best version. I've seen of this game. Quality wise.
these two teams were the nfl from 70-80
Bring back daytime Super Bowls! And player intros!
Night time superbowls are better
Agreed, 100%
Bring back the old players lol.
FYI: This was one of the three Goodyear blimps used in "Black Sunday" (Mayflower N1A). Filming of the climactic scenes were played on the week of January 29, 1976, just less than two weeks after the REAL Super Bowl.
They filmed real footage of the game as well.
Bring back daytime Super Bowl starting times, and also MLB playoff and W.S. daytime games!
Design I can easily see MLB bringing back at least 1 late afternoon W.S game quicker than the "prime time" SB.
Only change I can see in near future is that the SB is moved up 1 more weekend to played on the President's Day Holiday Weekend in America since most people in the US are off the next day from work/school.
@@americangiant1003 You're kidding I hope. Most employers completely ignore the "little holidays" like MLK, President, Juneteenth and Columbus Days. The only ones off work are federal, state or municipal employees and banks.
@@indy_go_blue6048 At least it's more benefits to play on the President Holiday Weekend than the current set-up of the 2nd Sunday in February. It's a proven fact, that more Americans call in "sick" the day after the super bowl than any other non-major official holiday i.e January 2nd.
While officially a large amount of people will still be at work, at least it's prevents the loss of manpower hours by playing the "Big Game" on President's Weekend. Some people have been calling for the SB to be played on Saturday Night which of course will never happen. The Sunday of that Mid February Holiday weekend is probably the best solution. FYI. Most Schools/College are already closed for President's Day as well. So yes Indy I am serious on that proposal.
@@americangiant1003 I HOPE Roger Goodell doesn't get knowledge of what you wrote. Don't give him any more bad ideas. 🙄🙄🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Huge Props to CBS here. The camera shots, graphics and overall production of this Super Bowl was way ahead of its time over then current 1975-1976 standards. This video easily could have looked a NFL regular season game as late as say 1990. Plus looks as modern as any game in the pre full time on screen scoreboard now standard on all sporting events here in the 2020's. Plus a HOF broadcast team of Tom and Pat does not hurt either.
NFL can I ask a favor of you? Delete the Super Bowl 51 full game from all across UA-cam please. 😂😕
Top 5 super bowl all time no doubt, not a shootout but also not a bore fest as the offense and defensive performances were balanced which always makes a great game.
Homeboy almost got his shi rocked at 2:16:23 😂😭
Superbowl 12 between Dallas and Denver was the first Superbowl broadcast in prime time (5:00 eastern)
These Cowboys vs Steelers Super Bowls are classic. Would have loved to watch Super Bowl 10 and 13 live
Thank you for putting these games up! It was before my time, but I love football and history so I love watching these old games. Seen this one and XIII a few times a piece. I wish all playoff games or at least the Championship Games were on here but I'll take anything I can get!i used to drive a street sweeper a lot and it had a plug for your phone to connect with the radio. I would pick old games I hadn't seen or heard yet and I play the audio only so it was just like I was listening to it being broascast on the radio. Loved it!
Thanks for this video. The quality of the video is superb. Crystal clear. Great find.
1st Super Bowl I ever watched
i really miss the 3 00 clock afternoon superbowls
this game proved why Bradshaw was the greatest long-ball thrower in the biggest games....
Ah the good old days when coaches smoked cigarettes on the sidelines
( around the 2:09:00 mark )
On this Super Bowl Sunday 2021, I choose to watch X again instead of LV. This classic shows how football primarily focused on the game and not politics.
I always wondered why Dallas just didnt kick it deep instead of an onsides kick, they had three timeouts and Pittsburgh had a quarterback who couldnt pass. They would have had great field position with lots of time left.
RIP Franco Harris you will always be the best running back in Steelers history
Back when you had to keep track of the score yourself or you were screwed (or had to call SportsPhone).
This should make you sad and proud at the same time. A better time. A better game. Better men. We’ll never see it again.
I was only 18 months old during this Super Bowl. I'm 43 now. Enjoyed watching this classic!
Who else is here watching this, because the coronavirus is keeping them from going to work.🤔
Not me, my job is "essential" 😒
I know a job that's is good making youtube videos
I'm can't even play my football
You can still go outside just not to a public place
Special game for me. I'd arrive here, virus or not. I was 10 , and I wanted Dallas to win so bad. Opening kickoff so exciting.
