Super Bowl History |
|
The game is sometimes called the "Blunder Bowl" because it was filled with poor play,
penalties, turnovers, and officiating miscues. The two teams committed a Super
Bowl record 11 combined turnovers in the game, and the Colts' 7 turnovers
are currently the most ever committed by a winning team in a Super Bowl. Dallas
also set a Super Bowl record with 10 penalties, costing them 133 yards. Bubba
Smith refuses to wear his Super Bowl V ring because of the "sloppy" play. It was finally settled with nine seconds left when Colts rookie kicker Jim O'Brien kicked a 32-yard field goal. In order to win the game, Baltimore had to overcome a 13–6 deficit at the half, losing their starting quarterback in the second quarter, and their 4 lost turnovers to Dallas' 5. |

Super Bowl V |
Super Bowl V was an American football game played on January 17, 1971 at the Orange
Bowl in Miami, Florida to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion
following the 1970 regular season. The American Football Conference (AFC) champion
Baltimore Colts (14-2-1) defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion
Dallas Cowboys (12-5), 16–13, on the first game played on artificial turf. Super Bowl V was the first Super Bowl played after the completion of the AFL-NFL Merger. As per the merger agreement, all 26 AFL and NFL teams were divided into 2 conferences with 13 teams in each of them. The NFL's Colts, the Cleveland Browns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to join the other 10 AFL teams to form the AFC. The remaining 13 NFL teams formed the NFC. This explains why the Colts represented the NFL in Super Bowl III, but not the NFC for Super Bowl V. |

The game was broadcast in the United States by NBC with play-by-play announcer Curt
Gowdy and color commentator Kyle Rote. Although the Orange Bowl was sold out
for the event, unconditional blackout rules in the NFL prohibited the live telecast
from being shown in the Miami area. The bands from Southern University and Southeast Missouri State College performed before the game, while trumpeter Tommy Loy played the national anthem. Loy had also played the anthem before every Cowboys' home game from the mid-1960, until the late-1980s. The Southeast Missouri State Golden Eagles Band was featured during the halftime show with Anita Bryant. |

A 32-yard field goal by rookie kicker Jim O'Brien brought the Baltimore Colts a victory
over the Dallas Cowboys in the final five seconds of Super Bowl V. The game between the champions of the AFC and NFC was played on artificial turf for the first time. Dallas led 13-6 at the half but interceptions by Rick Volk and Mike Curtis set up a Baltimore touchdown and O'Brien's decisive kick in the fourth period. Earl Morrall relieved an injured Johnny Unitas late in the first half, although Unitas completed the Colts' only scoring pass. It caromed off receiver Eddie Hinton's fingertips, off Dallas defensive back Mel Renfro, and finally settled into the grasp of John Mackey, who went 45 yards to score on a 75-yard play. Dallas' Chuck Howley, who picked off two passes, became the first defensive player and the first player from a losing team to be named MVP. |
