MVP: Lynn Swann
Pittsburgh Steelers

Game Story

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 in Super Bowl X at the Orange Bowl in one of the 1970s' signature championship games. Lynn Swann made a string of spectacular catches, including a 53-yard circus grab that set up the winning touchdown, and he earned MVP honors for 161 receiving yards. Roger Staubach kept Dallas alive deep into the fourth quarter, but Pittsburgh's playmakers came through late to secure a second straight title.
