What play did the cowboys use to win their first Super Bowl?

Answer 1

Probably the most memorable play of Super Bowl VI was a quarterback sack by the Dallas Cowboys. Bob Griese of the Miami Dolphins was a mobile quarterback known for his ability to elude tacklers. But on January 16, 1972, Griese met his match in the Cowboys' "Doomsday Defense." Near the end of the first quarter, with the Dolphins at their own 38-yard line, Griese was pursued doggedly by Cowboys defensive linemen Bob Lilly, Larry Cole and Jethro Pugh. Griese continued to run backwards, but he was finally dragged down by Lilly for a 29-yard loss -- still a Super Bowl record. The Dolphins were only able to manage a field goal, as the Cowboys claimed their first NFL title, 24-3.
