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.
