But the final outcome was all Cowboys, as the Doomsday II defense outdid the Bronco I offense, and Dallas brought home their second world championship, overcoming a contest of miscues for a 27-10 victory.
The first half showed what many had suspected: Craig Morton, with a bad hip, was no match for Harvey Martin and "Too Tall" Jones. The Dallas defensive ends made Morton their favorite target and closed down all Denver attempts at an offense. In the first period, Denver managed just eight yards total offense: five rushing and three passing.
