Game Story
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 35-31 in Super Bowl XIII at the Orange Bowl in a game packed with star power and momentum swings. Terry Bradshaw threw four touchdown passes and earned MVP honors, two of them to John Stallworth, while Pittsburgh built a lead large enough to survive Dallas' late rally. The win gave the Steelers three Super Bowl titles in six seasons and strengthened their claim as the NFL's team of the decade.
