Cowboys reach Super Bowl with gritty win over 49ers
Dallas rode a bloodied Roger Staubach and a key George Andrie interception to a 14-3 victory over San Francisco at Texas Stadium. Staubach led an 11-play, 84-yard fourth-quarter drive culminating in a Duane Thomas TD, securing Dallas’s bid to meet Miami in the Super Bowl. The defense limited the 49ers to nine first downs as Andrie and Toomay combined on the big stop. Staubach, bloodied but clutch, praised his team’s resolve as Landry cited unplanned scrambling as a strength.
