Allen Promises No Change In Defensive Plan For Morton or Staubach
Washington coach George Allen said defense will decide the NFC entry to Super Bowl VII but Dallas chose Roger Staubach to start at quarterback over Craig Morton for the game at RFK Stadium. Staubach, a greater scrambler, could complicate Washington's five-man front. Brundige preferred facing Morton, noting Staubach's mobility. Morton steered Dallas to a 10-4 record and into the playoffs. Staubach led the late rally to beat San Francisco for the bid.
