Recount of Super Bowl X (Cowboys vs. Steelers)

Super Bowl 10 was held on January 18, 1976, at the Orange Bowl in Miami between the back-to-back AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers and the three-time NFC — sportshistorynetwork.com

Super Bowl X, held on January 18, 1976, pitted the Pittsburgh Steelers, defending champions, against the Dallas Cowboys, the league's most popular team and wild-card underdogs. This clash of styles and contrasting narratives set the stage for a thrilling showdown in Miami.

Steely Defense vs. Glittering Offense:

The Steelers, nicknamed for their "Steel Curtain" defense, boasted a league-best record and relied on a powerful running game and smothering defense. The Cowboys, known for their flashy "flex" defense and high-powered offense led by Roger Staubach, sought to overcome their underdog status.

A Tale of Two Halves:

The first half belonged to the Steelers. Terry Bradshaw connected with Lynn Swann for a 64-yard touchdown, showcasing offensive prowess to complement their dominant defense. Rocky Bleier's touchdown run further extended their lead.

But the Cowboys stormed back in the second half. Preston Pearson found the end zone, and a late scramble by Staubach set up a touchdown pass to Percy Howard, bringing them within two points.

A Final Play for the Ages:

With five seconds remaining and the Cowboys on the Steelers' 38-yard line, Staubach launched a desperation pass. The stadium held its breath as the ball soared towards the end zone. Steelers safety Glen Edwards leaped and intercepted the pass, securing a 21-17 victory and etching his name in Super Bowl history.

Legacy of a Classic:

Super Bowl X is remembered for its nail-biting finish, contrasting playing styles, and the iconic image of Swann's diving touchdown catch. It solidified the Steelers' dynasty and further cemented their rivalry with the Cowboys. It reminded fans that in football, even the smallest edge can make the difference between glory and heartbreak..

Jim Marshall runs wrong way with recovered fumble

On October 25, 1964, after recovering a fumble against the 49ers in San Francisco, Minnesota Vikings star defensive end Jim Marshall runs 66 yards the wrong way into his own end zone. The four-year veteran believes he has scored a touchdown, so he throws the ball out of bounds in celebration, resulting in a safety […] — www.history.com

Sure, here is a summary of the infamous "wrong way run" play by Jim Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings:

On October 25, 1964, during a game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Minnesota Vikings were leading 27-17 in the fourth quarter. With just over two minutes remaining, 49ers quarterback John Brodie fumbled the ball after being sacked by Vikings defensive end Carl Eller.

Vikings linebacker Dave Whitsell recovered the fumble at the San Francisco 49ers' 20-yard line. However, teammate Jim Marshall, a defensive end, mistakenly picked up the loose ball and started running the wrong way. He ran 66 yards down the field, unaware that he was heading into his own end zone.

The confusion on the field was palpable. Some Vikings players yelled at Marshall to stop, but he thought they were encouraging him to run for a touchdown. San Francisco 49ers players were initially unsure of what was happening but then realized the opportunity and tackled Marshall in his own end zone, resulting in a safety for the 49ers.

The safety cut the Vikings' lead to 27-19, but they ultimately won the game 27-22. Despite the win, Marshall's blunder became one of the most famous and embarrassing plays in NFL history. He was initially ridiculed for his mistake, but later gained respect for his sportsmanship and humility.
