==Broadcasting== The game was broadcast in the [[United States]] by [[NFL on NBC|NBC]], with [[play-by-play|play-by-play announcer]] [[Dick Enberg]] and [[color commentator]] [[Bob Trumpy]]. [[Jim Lampley]] hosted all the events with the help of analysts [[Mike Ditka]] and [[Joe Gibbs]] and sideline reporters [[O. J. Simpson]] (on Buffalo's sideline) and [[Will McDonough]] (on Dallas' sideline). While Lampley was busy covering the trophy presentation, [[Bob Costas]] (who also interviewed Dallas head coach [[Jimmy Johnson (football coach)|Jimmy Johnson]] and Dallas owner/general manager [[Jerry Jones]] together prior to the game) covered for Lampley at the host and analysts' desk (and signed off the broadcast for NBC). NBC also introduced a new [[NFL on NBC music|NFL theme music]] by composer [[John Colby (musician)|John Colby]] that would be retained for the [[1994 NFL season|1994 season]]. This would be Simpson's last ''NFL on NBC'' appearance before [[O. J. Simpson murder case|being charged with murder]] later in Summer 1994. This remains the only time a single network had held consecutive Super Bowls outright. The league normally alternated the Super Bowl broadcast among its television networks, except for [[Super Bowl I]] in which both NBC and [[NFL on CBS|CBS]] televised it simultaneously. The five-year NFL contract signed in 1989 had a provision where the last Super Bowl in the contract (XXVIII) would not be rotated, but would go to the highest bidder. NBC, which had held XXVII (according to the original rotation, NBC would have had XXVI and CBS XXVII, but the NFL allowed the networks to switch the two games in order to allow CBS a significant lead-in to its coverage of the [[1992 Winter Olympics]]), was the only network to bid on XXVIII. NBC's [[List of Super Bowl lead-out programs|Super Bowl lead-out programs]] were the fifth episode of ''[[The Good Life (1994 TV series)|The Good Life]]'' and the seventeenth episode of ''[[The John Larroquette Show]]''.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-post-super-bowl-tv-shows-pg,0,1116920.photogallery?index=16 | work=Los Angeles Times | title=Best & Worst: Post-Super Bowl TV | access-date=May 2, 2010}}</ref>
