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.

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..
