Super Bowl 49 Countdown Continues....for my STEELER fam, especially my Twiin, but also for Carolyn, Lee and Charlene: Super Bowl X - football game between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion DALLAS COWBOYS and the American Football Conference (AFC) champion PITTSBURGH STEELERS to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1975 season. The STEELERS defeated the Cowboys by the score of 21–17 to win their second consecutive Super Bowl. They were the third team to win back-to-back Super Bowls. (The Miami Dolphins won Super Bowls VII and VIII, and the Green Bay Packers won Super Bowls I and II.) The game was played at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, on January 18, 1976, one of the first major national events of the United States Bicentennial year. Both the pre-game and halftime show celebrated the Bicentennial, while players on both teams wore special patches on their jerseys with the Bicentennial logo. Super Bowl X featured a contrast of styles between the STEELERS and the Cowboys, which were, at the time, the two most popular teams in the league. The STEELERS, dominating teams with their STEEL CURTAIN defense and running game, finished the regular season with a league best 12–2 record and defeated the Baltimore Colts and the Oakland Raiders in the playoffs. The Cowboys, with their offense and flex defense, became the first NFC wild-card team to advance to the Super Bowl after posting a 10–4 regular season record and postseason victories over the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams. Trailing 10–7 in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl X, the STEELERS rallied to score 14 unanswered points, including a 64-yard touchdown reception by STEELERS wide receiver Lynn Swann. The Cowboys cut the score, 21–17, late in the game with wide receiver Percy Howards 34-yard touchdown reception, but STEELERS safety Glen Edwards halted Dallas rally with an end zone interception as time expired. Swann, who caught four passes for a Super Bowl record 161 yards and one touchdown, became the first wide receiver to be named the Super Bowls Most Valuable Player.
