5. Super Bowl XXVII

Cowboys 52, Bills 17
Jan. 31, 1993
at Pasadena, Calif.

Like Super Bowl VI, this one was historic but hardly dramatic.

The Cowboys reached the top again in Jimmy Johnson's fourth season as head coach with an easy victory over outmanned Buffalo. Offensively and defensively, Dallas players did pretty well what they pleased.

Troy Aikman was a superb quarterback, earning the MVP trophy with peerless passing: 22 of 30 for 273 yards, four TDs and no interceptions.

The defense smothered Buffalo's offense, intercepting Jim Kelly and Frank Reich twice each and recovering five fumbles. The defense also scored two touchdowns.
