Steelers 21, Cowboys 17

When the season began, the Cowboys had no reason to think they might even make the playoffs. Their rebuilding era was just beginning.
When it ended, the Cowboys had good reason to think they might have won this Super Bowl.
Super-tough (and rough) Pittsburgh got all it wanted from a young Dallas team that proved both gifted and gutsy.
The Cowboys still came out of this one feeling good about themselves. They proved that season that when Roger Staubach is hot and you play with lots of heart, good things can happen. And even an occasional miracle.
