Super Bowl VI was an American football between the National Football game Briefing (NFC) champion Dallas Cowboys and the American Football game Briefing (AFC) champion Miami Dolphins to determine the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1971 flavor. The Cowboys defeated the Dolphins by the score of 24–3, to win their showtime Super Bowl. The game was played on January 16, 1972, at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, the 2d time the Super Bowl was played in that urban center. Despite the southerly location, it was unseasonably cold at the time, with the first air temperature of 39 °F (four °C) making this the coldest Super Bowl played.[5]
Dallas, in its second Super Bowl appearance, entered the game with a reputation of not being able to win big playoff games such every bit Super Bowl V and the 1966 and 1967 NFL Championship Games prior to the 1970 AFL–NFL merger. They posted an 11–three record during the 1971 regular season before defeating the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs. The Dolphins were making their first Super Bowl advent later edifice a x–3–1 regular flavour tape, including eight consecutive wins, and posting postseason victories over the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and the Baltimore Colts.
The Cowboys dominated Super Bowl Vi, setting Super Basin records for the almost rushing yards (252), the virtually first downs (23), and the fewest points allowed (3). For the next 47 years, they would be the only team to prevent their opponent from scoring a touchdown in the Super Basin, a feat matched by the 2018 New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII and over again by the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. The game was close in the kickoff half, with the Cowboys merely leading 10–3 at halftime. Merely Dallas opened the third quarter with a 71-g, 8-play touchdown drive, and so Dallas linebacker Chuck Howley's 41-yard interception return in the quaternary quarter set up some other score. Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, who completed 12 out of 18 passes for 119 yards, threw ii touchdown passes, and rushed 5 times for eighteen yards,[half dozen] [7] was named the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player.
This was the last Super Bowl to be blacked out in the Idiot box market in which the game was played. Under the NFL'due south unconditional blackout rules at the time, the Super Bowl could not exist broadcast locally fifty-fifty if the local team did not accelerate to the Super Bowl, and it was a sellout. The following year, the league changed their rules to let games to exist circulate in the local marketplace if sold out 72 hours in advance. It was the last Super Bowl played with the hashmarks (too called the inbound lines) gear up at xl feet apart (20 yards from the sidelines), and the last NFL game overall; the adjacent season, they were brought in to 18 one⁄ii feet, the width of the goalposts, where they remain.[viii]
Background [edit]
The NFL awarded Super Basin Six to New Orleans on March 23, 1971 at the owners meetings held in Palm Beach, Florida.
Dallas Cowboys [edit]
The Cowboys entered the season still having the reputation of "not existence able to win the large games" and "next year'south champion". The Super Bowl Five loss added more fuel to that widely held view. As in the previous season, Dallas had a quarterback controversy as Staubach and Craig Morton alternated as starting quarterback (in a loss to the Bears in game seven, Morton and Staubach alternated plays).[nine] The Cowboys were iv–iii at the season midpoint, including a 24–14 loss to the New Orleans Saints at Tulane Stadium. Merely subsequently head double-decker Tom Landry settled on Staubach, the Cowboys won their terminal vii regular season games to cease with an eleven–3 record.

Staubach finished the regular season every bit the NFL'due south top rated passer (101.8) by throwing for 1,882 yards, 15 touchdowns, and only iv interceptions. He was also a terrific rusher, gaining 343 yards and 2 touchdowns on 41 carries. Dallas also had an outstanding trio of running backs, Walt Garrison, Duane Thomas, and Calvin Hill, who rushed for a combined total of 1,690 yards and 14 touchdowns during the season. Garrison led the squad in receptions during the season (40). (Thomas, upset that the Cowboys would non renegotiate his contract after his excellent rookie twelvemonth, had stopped talking to the printing and to almost everyone on the team). Wide Receivers Bob Hayes and Lance Alworth also provided a deep threat, catching a combined total of 69 passes for one,327 yards and x touchdowns. The offensive line, anchored by all-pro tackle Rayfield Wright, Pro Bowlers John Niland and Ralph Neely, and future Hall of Famer Forrest Gregg, was besides a primary reason for their success on offense. Neely had broken his leg in November in a dirt-bike accident, and was replaced beginning past Gregg and then past Tony Liscio, who came out of retirement.
The Dallas defense (nicknamed the "Doomsday Defense") had given upward only one touchdown in the terminal 14 quarters prior to the Super Bowl.[ten] Their defensive line was anchored by Pro Basin defensive tackle Bob Lilly, who excelled at pressuring quarterbacks and breaking upward running plays. Dallas also had an outstanding trio of linebackers: Pro Bowler Chuck Howley, who recorded 5 interceptions and returned them for 122 yards; Dave Edwards two interceptions; and Lee Roy Jordan, who recorded 2 interceptions. The Cowboys secondary was led by ii future Hall of Fame cornerbacks Herb Adderley (6 interceptions for 182 return yards) and Mel Renfro (4 interceptions for xi yards). Safeties Cliff Harris and Pro Bowler Cornell Greenish combined for 4 interceptions. Harris added 29 kickoff returns for 823 yards, an average of 28.iv yards per return (3rd in the NFL). They were too helped out by weak side linebacker D.D. Lewis.
Miami Dolphins [edit]
The Dolphins, who advanced to the Super Bowl just five years later on their founding in 1966, were based primarily around their league-leading running attack, led past running backs Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick. Csonka rushed for 1,051 yards, averaging over five yards per carry, and scored seven touchdowns. Versatile Jim Kiick rushed for 738 yards and three touchdowns, and was 2d on the Dolphins in receiving with twoscore receptions for 338 yards. They fumbled one time (past Kiick) betwixt the 2 of them during the regular flavour. But Miami also had a threatening passing game. Quarterback Bob Griese, the AFC's leading passer and about valuable player, put up an impressive performance during the season, completing 145 passes for 2,089 yards and 19 touchdowns with only ix interceptions. Griese'due south major weapon was broad receiver Paul Warfield, who caught 43 passes for 996 yards (a 23.ii yards per catch average) and a league-leading 11 touchdowns. The Dolphins too had an excellent offensive line to open up holes for their running backs and protect Griese on pass plays, led by future Hall of Fame baby-sit Larry Fiddling.
Miami's defence force was a major reason why the squad built a 10–iii–1 regular season record, including eight consecutive wins. Future Hall of Fame linebacker Nick Buoniconti was a major force reading and stopping plays, while condom Jake Scott recorded 7 interceptions.
Playoffs [edit]
Before this flavour, the Dolphins had never won a playoff game in franchise history, but they surprised the entire NFL past advancing to the Super Bowl with wins against the two previous Super Bowl champions. The Dolphins became the first of the 4 teams which had commenced play in the NFL or AFL later the showtime of the Super Bowl era to competition so much every bit a title game,[a] let alone earn a berth in the world title game.
First Miami defeated the Kansas City Chiefs (winners of Super Bowl IV), 27–24, in the longest game in NFL history with kicker Garo Yepremian's game-winning field goal after 22 minutes and xl seconds of overtime play in the final Chiefs game at Municipal Stadium. Later, Miami shut out the defending Super Basin champion Baltimore Colts, 21–0, in the AFC Title Game, with safety Dick Anderson intercepting 3 passes from Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas and returning one of them for a 62-yard touchdown.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys marched to the Super Basin with playoff wins over the Minnesota Vikings, twenty–12 in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, and the San Francisco 49ers, xiv–3 in the NFC Title Game, giving up only one touchdown in the two games.
Super Basin pregame news and notes [edit]
Shortly afterwards the Dolphins' win in the AFC Championship Game, Shula received a phone call at his home from President Richard Nixon at 1:xxx in the morn. Nixon had a play he thought would work, a item pass to Warfield.[11] [12] (That particular play, which was chosen belatedly in the first quarter, was broken upwardly by Mel Renfro.)
When asked about the Dolphins' defensive team prior to Super Basin VI, Landry said that he could not recall any of the players' names, just they were a big business concern to him. Over the years this remark has been regarded as the origin of the nickname "No-Proper noun Defense". However, it was Miami defensive coordinator Bill Arnsparger who had originally given his squad the nickname afterwards the Dolphins had beaten the Baltimore Colts in the AFC Championship.[thirteen]
According to Tom Landry, the Cowboys were very confident. "When they talked among themselves they said there was no way they were going to lose that game."[xiv]
The Cowboys used the New Orleans Saints' exercise facility in Metairie as its grooming headquarters for the game. The Dolphins divide their practices between Tulane Stadium and Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans' City Park. Dallas' squad hotel was the Hilton across from New Orleans International Airdrome in Kenner, and Miami lodged at the Fontainebleau Motor Hotel in New Orleans' Mid-Metropolis neighborhood.
On Media Day, Duane Thomas refused to reply any questions and sat silently until his required time was up. Roger Staubach surmises that Duane Thomas would have been named MVP if he had cooperated with the press prior to the game.[9] In the Cowboys' locker room after the game, flustered CBS reporter Tom Brookshier asked Duane Thomas a long-winded question, the gist of which was "Yous're fast, aren't you?" Thomas, who had shunned the press all season, simply said "Apparently." Thomas became the first player to score touchdowns in back-to-back Super Bowls, having a receiving touchdown in Super Bowl V.
Dolphins safe Jake Scott entered Super Bowl Six with a broken left manus. He broke his correct wrist during the game just never came out. With both hands in casts for three months, he said "When I go to the bathroom, that's when I discover out who my real friends are."[15]
This was the first Super Basin to match 2 teams which played its habitation games on artificial turf. Both of the Cowboys' home stadiums of 1971, the Cotton fiber Bowl and Texas Stadium, had turf, as did the Dolphins' Orange Bowl (specifically Poly-Turf). The previous yr, the Cowboys became the first squad to play its abode games on turf to make it to a Super Basin.
Through Super Bowl LV, this is the but Super Basin in which both teams played their habitation games in states which were members of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. The Washington Commanders (known as the Redskins from 1937-2019) which faced the Dolphins in Super Bowl VII and Super Basin XVII, has its facilities and training army camp in Virginia, which was a Amalgamated state during the Civil War, but have never played home games there, moving from Washington, D.C. proper to Maryland in 1997.
This game was originally scheduled to be the last to be played in Tulane Stadium. It was hoped the Louisiana Superdome would be ready in time for the 1972 NFL season. Still, political wrangling led to a lengthy delay in construction, and groundbreaking did not accept place until August 11, 1971, 5 months earlier this game. The Superdome was non completed until August 1975, forcing Super Bowl IX to be moved to Tulane Stadium. That Super Bowl proved to be the last NFL game in the stadium, which was demolished in late 1979.
The night before the game, Joe Frazier successfully defended his heavyweight boxing title with a quaternary-circular knockout of Terry Daniels at the Rivergate Convention Center, which was approximately one mile south of the construction site for the Superdome on Poydras Street. The next day, the Rivergate hosted a closed-circuit goggle box broadcast of the game, charging $10 per person.
The temperature at kickoff was a sunny and windy 39 °F (4 °C), making this the coldest Super Bowl to date.[v]
Broadcasting [edit]
The game was broadcast in the United States past CBS with play-by-play announcer Ray Scott and color commentator Pat Summerall. Although Tulane Stadium was sold out for the game, unconditional coma rules in the NFL prohibited the live telecast from being shown in the New Orleans area. This was the final Super Bowl to exist blacked out in the TV marketplace in which the game was played. The game was non blacked out in Billy Rouge, which was blacked out during Saints home games.
The following year, the NFL allowed Super Bowl Vii to exist televised live in the host city (Los Angeles) when all tickets were sold. In 1973, the league changed its blackout policy to allow any game to be broadcast in the abode team's marketplace if sold out 72 hours in advance. The coma rule has been suspended since 2015.
This game was featured in the picture Where the Buffalo Roam where the protagonist grapheme Hunter Southward. Thompson is sent to cover the game by Rolling Rock mag, although the host site set in the moving picture is Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (site of Super Bowl VII), not Tulane Stadium.
Entertainment [edit]
The Tyler Junior College Apache Belles drill team performed during the pregame and halftime festivities. Later, the U.S. Air Force Academy Chorale sang the national canticle. This was followed by an viii-airplane flyover of F-4 Phantoms from Eglin Air Force Base, which featured a airplane in the missing man formation.
Despite being the second Super Basin later the AFL–NFL merger, Super Bowl VI was the first 1 to have the NFL logo painted at the 50-yard line. The NFL would do this for all merely one Super Basin after this until Super Bowl XXXI (the exception was Super Bowl XXV, when the Super Basin logo was painted at midfield instead).

The Super Bowl Half-dozen halftime show was themed every bit a "Salute to Louis Armstrong"[16] (Armstrong, a New Orleans native, died in July 1971). Headlining the bear witness were jazz vocaliser Ella Fitzgerald, extra and singer Carol Channing, trumpeter Al Hirt and the U.South. Marine Corps Drill Team.[16] Likewise performing were the Onward Brass Band with Danny Barker, and immature Leroy Jones as "Fiddling Louis Armstrong".[17]
Fitzgerald was the showtime Blackness woman to sing in a Super Bowl halftime evidence.[18] She is also considered to be the first jazz artist featured in such a manner in a Super Bowl halftime show.[19]
This was the 2nd of iii Super Bowl halftime shows in which Al Hirt was a headlining performer. Hirt had previously been amongst the headlining performers in the halftime shows of Super Basin I, and would subsequently be a headlining performer in the halftime show of Super Basin XII.[20] Too returning to the Super Basin halftime stage was Ballad Channing, who had previously been a performer in the halftime evidence of Super Bowl IV.[21]
In the testify, the Onward Contumely Ring performed "High Guild" and accompanied Carol Channing in performing "Howdy, Dolly!".[17] Al Hirt accompanied Ella Fitzgerald in performing "Mack the Knife".[21]
Game summary [edit]
According to Roger Staubach,[9] the Cowboys' game programme was to neutralize the Dolphins' central offensive and defensive players—Paul Warfield and Nick Buoniconti. Warfield was double-teamed past Green and Renfro. "They pretty much close him downward", wrote Staubach. Since the running game was the key to the Cowboys' law-breaking, they wanted to take the quick-reacting Buoniconti out of each play. Two linemen, unremarkably Niland and middle Dave Manders, were assigned to block Buoniconti. Combined with counterplays and the splendid curtailment running of Thomas, this tactic proved very successful. Buoniconti sustained a concussion which he suffered from throughout the 2d half, during which he did not keep track of the score, thinking information technology was still ten-3 when information technology had become 24-3.[22]
Miami's defence was designed to stop Staubach'due south scrambling. According to Staubach, although his scrambing was close down this did not work to the Dolphins' do good because it opened things up for the other backs.
First quarter [edit]
Miami won the money toss and elected to receive. Neither squad could mountain a drive on its commencement possession. On the first play of the Dolphins' second possession, Larry Csonka, on his first bear of the game, gained 12 yards on a sweep aided by a big block by Larry Piffling on Herb Adderley. That would exist his longest gain of the solar day. On the next play, Csonka fumbled a handoff from Bob Griese, his first bollix of the season, and it was recovered past linebacker Chuck Howley at the Cowboys 48-one thousand line. A pair of runs for xviii total yards by Walt Garrison put Dallas inside field goal range, just Staubach was sacked past Jim Riley and Bob Heinz for a 12-yard loss. However, Staubach found Bob Hayes open for an 18-one thousand laissez passer and so Staubach passed to Duane Thomas for xi yards to bring up first and goal. On third and goal, Dick Anderson made a great play to keep Thomas out of the end zone. Dallas kicker Mike Clark kicked a ix-k field goal to give the Cowboys a three–0 lead.[23]
On the third play of the Dolphins' next possession at their own 38-yard line, Griese was sacked by Bob Lilly for a Super Bowl tape 29-yard loss, which even so stands as the longest negative play from scrimmage in Super Basin history.[ citation needed ]
2nd quarter [edit]
Early in the second quarter, Miami collection to the Cowboys 42-yard line with the aid of a xx-one thousand reception by receiver Howard Twilley, but the drive stalled and ended with no points afterwards kicker Garo Yepremian missed a 49-yard field goal attempt.
Starting with vi:15 left in the period, Dallas drove 76 yards in 10 plays, including a 21-chiliad reception past Lance Alworth and Calvin Hill'due south three carries for 25 yards, then scored on a vii-g touchdown pass from Staubach to Alworth to increase their lead to x–0 (Alworth would refer to the receptions that he fabricated on the scoring drive equally "The 2 most important catches of his career"). Miami started the ensuing drive with just 1:15 left in the half, and quarterback Bob Griese completed 3 consecutive passes, two to receiver Paul Warfield and one to running back Jim Kiick, for 44 total yards to achieve the Dallas 24-g line. On the next play Griese threw to Warfield, who was open up at the 2-g line, but the ball was deflected by Dark-green and bounced off Warfield'southward chest. Miami had to settle for Yepremian's 31-grand field goal to cut the Dolphins deficit to x–3 going into halftime.
Third quarter [edit]
But Dallas dominated the 2d one-half, preventing whatever chance of a Miami comeback. Dallas reasoned that Miami would make adjustments to terminate the Cowboys' within running game which had been then successful in the kickoff half. So the Cowboys decided to run exterior. The Cowboys opened the third flow with a 71-yard, 8-play drive, which included four runs by Thomas for 37 yards, a reverse by Hayes for 16 yards, and but one laissez passer, scoring on Thomas' 3-yard sweep to make the score 17–3. This seemed to burn down upwards the Dallas defense, who managed to foreclose Miami from getting a single commencement down in the entire tertiary quarter. The uttermost accelerate Miami had in the tertiary quarter was to its own 42-yard line as Griese and the criminal offence were, equally Don Shula put it, "destroyed."[14] On an incomplete pass, Jake Scott hit Roger Staubach on a blitz that shook him upwardly late in the third quarter, merely Staubach returned in the fourth.
Quaternary quarter [edit]
Miami managed to advance to midfield early in the final period, opening the quaternary quarter with their first 3rd down conversion of the game.[7] Howley ended the drive, however, by intercepting a laissez passer from Griese intended for Kiick in the apartment. Later on returning the ball 41 yards, Howley tripped and fell at the Dolphins ix-yard line with no one almost him. He then got upward and spiked the ball out of frustration for not scoring a touchdown. But 3 plays after, Staubach threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Mike Ditka, increasing the Dallas atomic number 82 to 24–three with twelve minutes left in the game.
Miami began their adjacent possession at their own 23-m line and mounted just their third sustained drive of the game, reaching the Dallas sixteen-yard line in six plays. However, Griese fumbled the snap and the brawl was recovered by Cowboys left end Larry Cole at the twenty-yard line. The Cowboys then mounted an eleven-play drive to the Miami 1-yard line which featured just one laissez passer and a fake field goal endeavor on fourth-and-ane at the Miami 20-thousand line (it should be noted the victory germination, where the quarterback kneels to run down the clock, was not introduced in the NFL until late in the 1978 season following the Miracle at the Meadowlands). However, on first-and-goal at the ane-yard line, Colina fumbled while attempting to swoop across the goal line, and the brawl was recovered at the 4-yard line by Dolphins defensive tackle Manny Fernandez with just nether two minutes left. Miami then ran 4 meaningless plays to end the game.
Aftermath [edit]
Staubach became the first quarterback of a winning squad in the Super Basin to play the unabridged game.[24] Wrote Staubach, "I can say that I don't think I always felt whatsoever better equally an athlete than how I felt later that game..."[9] Nick Buoniconti wrote, "I was knocked senseless...The Cowboys seemed to be moving so much faster than we were....We were overmatched psychologically besides as physically."[25] Jim Kiick said, "Dallas wasn't that much better, just football game is momentum. Nosotros lost it in the outset quarter when we fumbled and they scored, and we never got it back."[26] Said the Dolphins' Howard Twilley:
Information technology's and then hard to figure. We went in confident. We really thought nosotros'd win and win handily. Something happened, though, during the week. I guess it was that week. The week has its own momentum, similar cypher we'd been in before...[Shula] said we'd been embarrassed. He said we didn't fifty-fifty compete....That's the sickest feeling I've always had.[14]
Said Cornell Green, "The departure betwixt the Dolphins and Cowboys was that the Dolphins were simply happy to be in the game and the Cowboys came to win the game.".[25]
Griese completed the same amount of passes every bit Staubach (12), and threw for 15 more yards (134), but threw no touchdown passes and was intercepted in one case. Csonka and Kiick were held to just fourscore combined rushing yards (40 yards each), scored no touchdowns, and lost 1 fumble on 19 carries. Warfield was the game'southward leading receiver, but was limited to only 4 receptions for 39 yards. Thomas was the top rusher of the game with nineteen carries for 95 yards and a touchdown. He also caught 3 passes for 17 yards. Dallas running back Walt Garrison added 74 rushing yards and caught ii passes for 11 yards.
The Dallas Cowboys became the first team to win the Super Bowl after losing it the previous year. The Miami Dolphins would duplicate this feat the following flavour by winning Super Bowl Vii. This would be the only game the Dolphins would lose in 1972, going undefeated the next season prior to their Super Bowl VII win. Miami's 3 points scored set a Super Bowl record in scoring futility, which was tied by the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII in 2019. The Kansas City Chiefs also failed to score a touchdown in their 31-nine loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV in Feb 2021.

At the time, the goal posts were on goal lines instead of at the back of the end zones. Thus, this shared record will stand indefinitely unless the league decides to move the goal posts back to the goal lines.
