"Yeah, we disliked them. The rough, rugged, basic Steelers...the clean, cosmopolitan, finesse Cowboys. The guys
in the ties and dark suits against the guys in the hard hats and rolled-up sleeves. That contrast...that was the thing
between us." -Cowboys FS Cliff Harris, years after the game |
Pittsburgh Steelers (16-2) |
Dallas Cowboys (14-4) |
