===First quarter=== Dallas wide receiver [[Kevin Williams (wide receiver, born 1971)|Kevin Williams]] returned the opening kickoff 50 yards to the Buffalo 48-yard line. The Cowboys began the drive with quarterback [[Troy Aikman]]'s 20-yard pass to wide receiver [[Michael Irvin]]. But the Cowboys could only pick up 4 yards on their next three plays, forcing them to settle for kicker [[Eddie Murray (American football)|Eddie Murray]]'s 41-yard field goal, giving them an early 3β0 lead. The Bills then responded with an 8-play, 43-yard scoring drive. Quarterback [[Jim Kelly]]'s two passes to wide receiver [[Andre Reed]] and running back [[Thurman Thomas]] for 11 and 24 yards, respectively, advanced the ball across the Dallas 40-yard line. After a 3-yard run by running back [[Kenneth Davis (American football)|Kenneth Davis]], however, Kelly threw two straight incompletions. The Bills then tied the game, 3β3, with kicker [[Steve Christie]]'s 54-yard field goal, the then-longest field goal in Super Bowl history. Christie's record stood for 30 years, until it was broken in [[Super Bowl LVIII]] by [[San Francisco 49ers]] kicker [[Jake Moody]]'s 55-yard field goal, which was subsequently broken by [[Kansas City Chiefs]] kicker [[Harrison Butker]]'s 57-yard field goal in the same Super Bowl. Buffalo then forced Dallas to punt, but on the first play of the Bills' ensuing possession, Cowboys safety [[James Washington (safety)|James Washington]] stripped the ball from Thomas, and safety [[Darren Woodson]] recovered the fumble at midfield. Aided by wide receiver [[Alvin Harper]]'s 24-yard reception, the Cowboys drove to the Buffalo 7-yard line, but had to settle for Murray's 24-yard field goal to regain the lead, 6β3. After receiving Murray's kickoff, the Bills could only reach their own 41-yard line before being forced to punt. However, they were given a new set of downs when Cowboys cornerback [[Dave Thomas (cornerback)|Dave Thomas]] was flagged for running into punter [[Chris Mohr]] on the play.
