Editing Super Bowl X (section)

==Aftermath==
The game was remembered for being the most exciting of the first 10 Super Bowl games. Swann's heroics and Lambert's 14 tackles and throw-down of Cliff Harris are the indelible images from the game. After being benched to start the 1974 campaign and being booed for most of his first four seasons in Pittsburgh, Bradshaw became the first quarterback to throw two game-winning touchdown passes in Super Bowl competition. The [[1976 Pittsburgh Steelers season|Steelers']] bid for three-consecutive championships ended in a 24–7 loss to the [[1976 Oakland Raiders season|Oakland Raiders]] in the [[1976-77 NFL playoffs|1976 AFC Championship game]] after a [[1976 NFL season|season]] that saw Pittsburgh's defense shut out five opponents and allow only 28 points in a 9-game span. The loss to Pittsburgh coupled with an early playoff exit in [[1976 Dallas Cowboys season|1976]] largely influenced the Cowboys to draft [[Tony Dorsett]] in the 1977 Draft to help infuse life into Dallas' offense. Dorsett helped lead [[1977 Dallas Cowboys season|Dallas]] to a [[Super Bowl XII]] victory over the [[1977 Denver Broncos season|Denver Broncos]], who defeated the Steelers in the first round of the playoffs that year.

Pittsburgh and Dallas would battle in another thriller in [[Super Bowl XIII]] (also played in Miami). The result was the same, as the Steelers prevailed 35–31. But Super Bowl X was the game that began the rivalry between the two storied franchises. The Cowboys gained a measure of revenge by defeating the Steelers 27–17 in [[Super Bowl XXX]] following the [[1995 NFL season|1995 season]].

This was the final football game to be played on [[artificial turf]] (specifically, [[Poly-Turf]]) at the Orange Bowl.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=mvMjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=b-0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6999,377430|title=The Spokesman-Review - Google News Archive Search|website=news.google.com|access-date=September 29, 2017|archive-date=March 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301034651/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=mvMjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=b-0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6999,377430|url-status=live}}</ref> The surface in 1976 reverted to natural grass, and remained so until the stadium's closure in 2007. Poly-Turf was first installed at the Orange Bowl in 1970 and replaced in 1972, but players complained often of the slickness, and it discolored due to the intense sunshine of south Florida. This was the last Super Bowl played outdoors on artificial turf for 38 years, until [[Super Bowl XLVIII]] at [[MetLife Stadium]] (infilled [[FieldTurf]]) in February 2014.
