Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach was the Super Bowl MVP that year.

Note: Chuck Howley, who played mainly outside linebacker with his blazing speed, was named Super Bowl MVP for Super Bowl V, intercepting 2 passes and recovering a fumble in the Cowboys 16-13 loss to the Colts. It was the first time that a defensive player received the honor and the first and so far only time a player from the losing team won the award. The following season, Dallas made it back to the Super Bowl, and again Howley had a great performance, recording a fumble recovery and a 41-yard interception in the Cowboys 24-3 win over the Miami Dolphins. Howley's great performance was under MVP-consideration, but his teammate Roger Staubach won the MVP honor.

The first Cowboys player to win the Super Bowl MVP award was linebacker Chuck Howley who won the award in Super Bowl V. The Cowboys lost that Super Bowl to the Baltimore Colts 16-13. Howley is the only player in Super Bowl history to be from a losing team and be awarded MVP of the game. The Cowboys first Super Bowl was SB V in 1971 and the MVP was linebacker Chuck Howley. Howley is the only player in Super Bowl history to be named MVP from the losing team.

It was running back Duane Thomas in the second quarter of Super Bowl V against the AFC champion Baltimore Colts. With 7:53 remaining before halftime, Thomas caught a swing pass from Dallas quarterback Craig Morton for a seven-yard touchdown. The score and ensuing extra point gave the Cowboys a 13-6 lead over the Colts. Baltimore eventually won the game, 16-13..
