Editing Super Bowl V (section)

==Game summary==

===First quarter===
The first three possessions of Super Bowl V ended quietly with each team punting after a [[three-and-out]]. Then, after a facemask penalty on Dallas during a punt back to Baltimore for the second time, the Colts started their second drive on their own 47-yard line, but on the first play, Cowboys linebacker [[Chuck Howley]] intercepted a pass from Colts quarterback [[Johnny Unitas]] and returned it 22 yards to the Colts' 46-yard line, the first of 11 combined turnovers committed by both teams. The Cowboys failed to take advantage of the turnover, with a 15-yard holding penalty 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage pushing them back to a 3rd-and-33 situation. Fullback [[Walt Garrison]] could only gain 11 yards on the next play, forcing Dallas to punt. However, Colts punt returner/cornerback [[Ron Gardin]] fumbled the return, and the loose ball was recovered by Cowboys safety [[Cliff Harris]] at the Colts' 9-yard line. Baltimore managed to keep Dallas out of the end zone, forcing them to settle for kicker [[Mike Clark (placekicker)|Mike Clark]]'s 14-yard field goal to establish a 3–0 lead.

After a Colts punt, which they failed to keep from reaching the end zone, Cowboys quarterback [[Craig Morton]] completed a 14-yard pass to running back [[Dan Reeves]], followed by a 41-yard pass to wide receiver [[Bob Hayes]] (Morton's longest pass of the game) to reach the Colts' 12-yard line, with a roughing the passer penalty on Colts defensive tackle [[Fred Miller (defensive lineman)|Fred Miller]] adding 6 yards (half the distance to the goal), but Dallas was denied the end zone by the Baltimore defense for a second time. Linebacker [[Ted Hendricks]] deflected Morton's pass on first down, and running back [[Duane Thomas]] was tackled for a 1-yard loss on second down by cornerback [[Jim Duncan (cornerback)|Jim Duncan]].

===Second quarter===
At the start of the second quarter, Morton was flagged for intentional grounding on third down while trying to avoid a sack by defensive tackle [[Billy Ray Smith Sr.|Billy Ray Smith]], pushing the Cowboys back to the 22-yard line and forcing them to settle for Clark's 30-yard field goal, stretching the score to 6–0.

On their next possession, the Colts offense got a break. After two straight incompletions to open the drive, Unitas uncorked a pass to wide receiver [[Eddie Hinton (American football)|Eddie Hinton]] that was both high and behind the receiver. The ball ricocheted off Hinton's hands, was tipped by Cowboys cornerback [[Mel Renfro]],<ref>With limited replay in the day, there was some controversy over whether Renfro actually tipped the ball after it bounced off Hinton's hands and into the arms of tight end John Mackey. (At the time, the rules stated that a pass could not be complete if it was touched by two offensive players in succession, without a defender touching the ball in-between; seven years later, in a rule-change dubbed the "Mel Renfro Rule", this restriction on double-touching would be scrapped prior to the [[1978 NFL season|1978 season]].) But [[Howard Cosell]] debuted an angle of the play on ABC's [[Wide World of Sports (U.S. TV series)|Wide World of Sports]] one week later which clearly showed the rotation of the ball suddenly changing as it passed Renfro's hand, proving he had indeed touched it.</ref> then landed in the arms of tight end [[John Mackey (American football)|John Mackey]], who sprinted 75 yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys subsequently blocked kicker [[Jim O'Brien (American football)|Jim O'Brien]]'s extra point attempt to keep the score tied at 6–6, with O'Brien later saying that he was "awfully nervous" and hesitated a second too long before kicking it.<ref name=OBrien/>

After the next three possessions ended in punts, Cowboys linebacker [[Lee Roy Jordan]] forced a fumble on Unitas, and defensive tackle [[Jethro Pugh]] recovered the loose ball at the Baltimore 28. Dallas capitalized on the turnover in three plays; Thomas rushed for 4 yards, then Morton completed a 17-yard pass to Reeves, followed by a 7-yard touchdown pass to Thomas to establish a 13–6 lead. The Colts reached the Cowboys' 37 on their next drive, but turned the ball over yet again, with Unitas unleashing a fluttering interception to Renfro while taking a fierce hit by defensive end [[George Andrie]]. Unitas was knocked out of the game permanently on the play with a rib injury and was replaced by [[Earl Morrall]], who was widely blamed for the Colts' loss to the [[New York Jets]] in [[Super Bowl III]]. The Cowboys, starting from their own 15, were unable to score any points off the turnover. An offensive pass interference penalty on Hayes forced Dallas to punt. Starting from their own 48-yard line, the Colts offense, now led by Morrall, began to gain momentum. Morrall completed a 26-yard pass to Hinton, followed by a 21-yard pass to wide receiver [[Roy Jefferson]]. A personal foul penalty on Jordan put the ball on the Dallas 2-yard line with less than two minutes remaining in the half and giving Baltimore a chance to tie the game. However, the Cowboys defense stiffened. Colts running back [[Norm Bulaich]] was stuffed on three consecutive rushing attempts from inside the 2-yard line. The Colts elected to convert fourth down, but Morrall threw a pass intended for tight end [[Tom Mitchell (American football)|Tom Mitchell]] that fell incomplete, turning the ball over on downs and maintaining Dallas' 13–6 lead to end the half.

===Third quarter===
The second half was a parade of turnovers, sloppy plays, penalties, and missed opportunities. Baltimore's defense also held Dallas' offense scoreless for the rest of the game.

Duncan fumbled the opening kickoff while running into Cowboys running back [[Claxton Welch]], and Dallas recovered the ball at Baltimore's 31. Then the Cowboys drove to the Colts' 2-yard line with the chance to take a two-score lead, but linebacker [[Mike Curtis (American football)|Mike Curtis]] punched the ball loose from Thomas before he could cross the goal line, and the Colts took over at their own 1 as Duncan was credited with the recovery–-a controversial call because when the resulting pile-up was sorted out, Dallas center [[Dave Manders]] was seen holding the ball. The energized Colts then drove to the Cowboys' 44-yard line, with Morrall completing a 26-yard pass to wide receiver [[Sam Havrilak]], but came up empty when O'Brien's 52-yard field goal attempt fell short of the goal posts. However, instead of attempting to return the missed field goal, Renfro allowed it to bounce inside the Cowboys' own 1-yard line where it was downed by Colts center [[Tom Goode (footballer)|Tom Goode]] (NFL rules prior to 1974 allowed a field goal that fell short of the goal posts to be downed just like a punt; that rule is still in effect in high school football). "I thought it would carry into the end zone", Renfro explained after the game.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ag.nfl.com/?team=1966 |title= America's Game|website=ag.nfl.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207192904/http://ag.nfl.com/?team=1966 |archive-date=February 7, 2009}}</ref>

Dallas, backed up to their own end zone, punted after a three-and-out. The Colts would have received the ball inside Dallas territory following the punt, but a clipping penalty on Baltimore running back [[Jack Maitland]] pushed the Colts back to their own 39 to begin the drive. Two plays later, however, Morrall completed a 45-yard pass to running back [[Tom Nowatzke]] to reach the Cowboys' 15-yard line.

===Fourth quarter===
However, three plays later, on the first play of the fourth quarter, Morrall threw an interception to Howley in the end zone to preserve the Cowboys' 13–6 lead.<ref name="USA Today Super Bowl V Play by Play">{{cite news|title=Super Bowl V play-by-play|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/super/superbowl-v-plays.htm|work=USA Today|date=January 11, 2002}}</ref>

After forcing the Cowboys to punt, the Colts regained the ball on their own 18-yard line, still trailing 13–6. Aided by a pass interference penalty on Dallas safety [[Charlie Waters]] and a 23-yard pass from Morrall to Jefferson, the Colts advanced into Dallas territory. A second pass interference penalty, which was called on defensive back [[Cornell Green (defensive back)|Cornell Green]], gave the Colts a first down at the Dallas 39-yard-line. An 8-yard run by Nowatzke moved the ball to the 31-yard line. The Colts then attempted to fool the Cowboys with a [[Flea flicker (American football)|flea-flicker]],<ref name=OBrien/><ref name=McGrane/><ref>"Super Bowl V," ''Super Bowl I-X Collector's Set.'' NFL Productions, LLC, 2003</ref> resulting in one of the oddest plays in Super Bowl history. Havrilak took a handoff and ran right, intending to lateral the ball back to Morrall, but Pugh stormed into the backfield and prevented him from doing so. Havrilak (who played quarterback at [[Bucknell University]]) then threw a pass intended for Mackey, but it was caught instead by Hinton, who promptly took off for the end zone. However, Green stripped Hinton from behind at the 11, and the loose ball bounced wildly into the end zone, evading recovery attempts by six different players until it was eventually pushed through the back of the end zone for a touchback, thus returning the ball to the Cowboys at their 20.

Three plays after the turnover, Morton threw a pass that was deflected by Garrison and intercepted by Colts safety [[Rick Volk]], who returned the ball 30 yards to the Cowboys' 3-yard line before being tackled by wide receiver [[Reggie Rucker]] (Morrall later referred to that play as the play of the game).<ref name=McGrane/> Two plays later, Nowatzke scored on a 2-yard touchdown run, tying the game at 13–13. (O'Brien says he was much calmer and more confident on this extra point than on the first one, which was blocked.)

The next two possessions ended in traded punts, with the Cowboys eventually taking over in excellent field position at the Colts 48-yard line with less than two minutes left in the game.

On the second play of this potential game-winning drive, a 15-yard holding penalty on Cowboys offensive tackle [[Ralph Neely]] on the Dallas 42-yard line, which was a spot foul, pushed the Cowboys all the way back to their own 27-yard line (the NFL did not reduce the penalty for offensive holding to 10 yards until 1974).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/history/pdfs/History/Chronology.pdf |title=Chronology of Professional Football |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309110019/http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/history/pdfs/History/Chronology.pdf |archive-date=March 9, 2012}}</ref> Then, on 2nd-and-35, Morton threw a pass that slipped through the hands of Reeves and bounced for an interception into the arms of Mike Curtis, who then returned the ball 13 yards to the Cowboys' 28-yard line.

Two plays later, with nine seconds left in the game, O'Brien kicked the go ahead 32-yard field goal, giving Baltimore their first lead of the game, 16–13.<ref>Jim O'Brien says there is a widespread notion that he was so nervous before his game-winning field goal, he forgot he was on artificial turf and attempted to pick up grass to test for wind. He says he was actually picking up lint from the players' jerseys.</ref> O'Brien says he was "on automatic" and was so calm and concentrating so hard that he didn't hear anything and saw only the ball.<ref name=OBrien/> After the field goal, in an enduring image, Cowboys defensive tackle [[Bob Lilly]] took off his helmet and hurled it through the air in disgust.

The Cowboys received the ball again on their own 40 with one second remaining after O'Brien's ensuing squib kick, but Morton's pass to Hayes was intercepted by safety [[Jerry Logan]] at the Baltimore 29, and the Colts were victorious.

===Postscript===
Morrall was the top passer of the game, with 7 out of 15 completions for 147 yards, with 1 interception. Before being knocked out of the game, Unitas completed 3 out of 9 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown, with 2 interceptions. Morton completed more passes than Morrall and Unitas combined (12), but finished the game with 118 fewer passing yards (127), and was intercepted 3 times (all in the fourth quarter). Mackey was the top receiver of the game with 2 receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown. Nowatzke was the Colts' leading rusher with 33 yards and a touchdown, while also catching a pass for 47 yards. Dallas running back [[Walt Garrison]] was the leading rusher of the game with 65 rushing yards, and added 19 yards on 2 pass receptions.

Referencing the numerous turnovers, Morrall said, "It really was a physical game. I mean, people were flying into one another out there."<ref name=McGrane/> "It was really a hard-hitting game," wrote O'Brien. "It wasn't just guys dropping the ball. They fumbled because they got the snot knocked out of them."<ref name=OBrien/> Said Tom Landry:

<blockquote>I haven't been around many games where the players hit harder. Sometimes people watch a game and see turnovers and they talk about how sloppy the play was. The mistakes in that game weren't invented, at least not by the people who made them. Most were forced.<ref name=McGrane/></blockquote>

"We figured we could win if our offense didn't put us into too many holes", said 35-year-old Colts lineman [[Billy Ray Smith, Sr.|Billy Ray Smith]], who was playing in his last NFL game, "Let me put it this way, they didn't put us into any holes we couldn't get out of".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nfl.com/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101223233356/http://ag.nfl.com/|url-status=dead|title=NFL.com &#124; Official Site of the National Football League|archivedate=December 23, 2010|website=NFL.com}}</ref>

Colts defensive end [[Bubba Smith]] would later refuse to wear his Super Bowl V ring because of the "sloppy" play.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/page2/s/neel/030122.html|title=The Super Bowl barely makes the grade|author=Eric Neel|work=ESPN Page 2|publisher=ESPN.com|date=January 22, 2003|access-date=December 31, 2007}}</ref> In a similar action, Cowboys linebacker [[Chuck Howley]] was named the Super Bowl MVP, despite being on the losing team, but Howley initially refused to accept the award because he stated that it was meaningless to him since his team lost. He reluctantly accepted the honor since it included the awarding of a brand-new station wagon that he decided to use as a gift for his wife. During the game, Howley recorded two tackles and two interceptions, one of which he returned for 22 yards.

[[Don McCafferty]] became the first rookie head coach to win a Super Bowl. The feat was not repeated until [[George Seifert]] led the [[1989 San Francisco 49ers season|San Francisco 49ers]] to victory in [[Super Bowl XXIV]]. McCafferty was also the first Super Bowl-winning coach who did not wear coat and tie, opting for a short-sleeved T-shirt with a mock turtleneck.

This Super Bowl would also start a trend with the team that lost the game would come back the next year and win it. Dallas lost this game but they would come back and win it all the next year in [[Super Bowl VI]] while their opponents, the [[Miami Dolphins]], lost that game, and would go on to win [[Super Bowl VII]] the following season.

Two rule changes that were adopted before the [[1974 NFL season|1974 season]] were: 
* When the defensive team commits an illegal use of hands, arms, or body foul from behind the line of scrimmage, the penalty will be assessed from the previous spot instead of the spot of the foul.
* The penalties for offensive holding, illegal use of hands, and tripping were reduced from 15-yards to 10-yards.
These would have reduced the severity of the two Dallas offensive holding penalties in Super Bowl V.<ref name=fgrch>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=HicxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GgIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5326%2C2592806 |newspaper=Toledo Blade |location=Ohio |agency=Associated Press |title=NFL rule changes |date=April 26, 1974 |page=26 }}</ref><ref name=mxrexn>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=EnhQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=qxEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1603%2C2418677 |newspaper=Milwaukee Sentinel |agency=Associated Press |title=NFL rule changes bring mixed reactions |date=April 26, 1974 |page=1, part 2 }}</ref>

This was the first and only Super Bowl where the Trophy presentation was done by somebody other than the commissioner, in this case, [[Marie Lombardi]] the wife of recently deceased coach [[Vince Lombardi]]. Super Bowl V also marked the debut of the newly renamed Vince Lombardi Trophy.
