nfl super bowl winners

Super Bowl X played on January 18 1976, was won by the Champions of the AFC the Pittsburgh Steelers who defeated the NFC Champions the Dallas Cowboys at the Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida.
The Pittsburgh Steelers had won the 1975 AFC Central Division coached by Chuck Noll with a regular season record of 12-2-0 and had achieved very respectable point scoring and point conceded averages. They had scored on average 26.6 points per game making them 5th of 26 in the NFL on offense and had conceded 11.6 points on average per game which made them second in the league for defense.
The two games the Steelers lost during regular season were against the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams.
The Buffalo Bills had only finished third in the 1975 AFC East Division and never made the playoffs but the interesting stat about them in 1975 is that they were the league′s top point scorers having the number one average for points scored per game. When the Steelers and the Bills met it was the Buffalo Bills who won 21 - 30.
The other game the Steelers lost was to the Los Angeles Rams by 10 - 3. The Rams were the top side in the league defensively in 1975.
All in all the Steelers regular season could be termed well above average as they only lost two games which were to the two top rated teams for offense and defense.
In the 1975 AFC postseason games the Steelers met the Baltimore Colts in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. The Colts had won the 1975 AFC East Division with a regular season record of 10-4-0 and were ranked 2nd of 26 in the NFL in offense although only 10th in defense.
The Pittsburgh Steelers strong defensive line worked well in this game and the Colts offense was limited to but a few chances. Steelers won well by 28 - 10.
In the AFC Championship Game the Pittsburgh Steelers played the Oakland Raiders who had finished 1st in the 1975 AFC West Division with a regular season record of 11-3-0 and were one of the better teams in the NFL at that time although a fair bit more "leaky" in defense than the Steelers. Going strictly by the book, the Raiders had lost three games in regular season those being to the Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Oilers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Whereas, the Steelers had beaten all three easily during regular season. Steelers were favorites but were made to work by the Raiders before eventually winning 16 - 10.
The Pittsburgh Steelers opponents in Super Bowl X were the Dallas Cowboys coached by Tom Landry who had finished second in the 1975 NFC East Division with a regular season record of 10-4-0. They were 8th of 26 in the NFL for offense with a point scoring average of 25 per game and only 9th for defense with a points conceded average of 19.1 per game. After the 1975 regular season the Cowboys were most definitely at the bottom end of those teams making the playoffs but exceeded all expectations through the postseason games.
The Cowboys met the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. The Vikings had won the 1975 NFC Central Division with a regular season record of 12-2-0 and had finished third in the league for both point scoring and points allowed.
Looking for pointers to this game from regular season, the Vikings had lost to the Detroit Lions but the Cowboys had beaten them. Whilst the Cowboys had lost to the Green Bay Packers who the Vikings had managed to beat. Not much really but the Vikings were the higher ranked side. Anyhow, in a close game the Cowboys showing a better side to their defensive game edged it and beat the Vikings 17 - 14.
In the NFC Championship Game the Cowboys opponents were the Los Angeles Rams who had finished 1st in NFC West Division with a regular season record of 12-2-0 and were the top defensive unit in the league during regular season. However, looking for form to link the two, the Cowboys and the Rams had met once during normal season and it was the Cowboys who had won 18 - 7.
This time the Cowboys won again and whilst still holding the Rams to scoring only seven points upped the tempo and scored 37 themselves.Dallas Cowboys 37 - 7 Los Angeles Rams.
For Super Bowl X the two teams left looked to be an interesting clash. The Pittsburgh Steelers, the reigning Super Bowl Champs who had shown good form through regular season and had won their Conference in convincing fashion & the Dallas Cowboys who had really set themselves alight for the playoffs showing both better offensive and defensive qualities to win the NFC but had the Cowboys improved enough?
Super Bowl X saw the Cowboys get off to the better start and by half time were in a 10 - 7 lead.
After a third quarter which saw no points scored it was all to play for as the teams went into the 4th. The game took off!
The Steelers with nothing to lose, picked up the pace on offense and scored 14 points whilst their defense limited the Cowboys to just 7 points. The Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl X by 21 points to 17.
