Thomas Silent After Cowboys Win Roast New Orleans
After Dallas clinched the title one player yanked Gil Brandt by the collar and lifted the Super Bowl trophy under a shower spray as Duane Thomas watched in silence. Thomas, Cowboys leading rusher with 95 yards, remained tight lipped about the postgame attention and award talk while coach Tom Landry praised the offensive line and President Nixon joined in via call. Jim Brown lauded Thomas while predicting he may soon open up, though Thomas kept to his monklike reserve.
