Historical NotesAt the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida on January 21, 1979, Chuck Noll's Pittsburgh Steelers outlasted Tom Landry's Dallas Cowboys 35-31 in Super Bowl 13. Roger Staubach threw for 228 yards with three touchdowns to Tony Hill, Drew Pearson, and Billy Joe Dupree. But Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson couldn't stop Super Bowl Thirteen's MVP Terry Bradshaw's record 318 yards and 4 touchdowns. Catching touchdowns for the Steelers were John Stallworth (2), Lynn Swan, and Rocky Bleier; Franco Harris ran for a touchdown in Pittsburgh's third Super Bowl victory. Found in collection.
