Part 1/10:
Super Bowl V: The Blunder Bowl
Super Bowl V, held on January 17, 1971, faced off the Baltimore Colts against the Dallas Cowboys at the Orange Bowl in Miami. This matchup was charged with emotion and a narrative of redemption, particularly for the Colts, who were attempting to shake off the painful memories of their previous Super Bowl debacle in Super Bowl III, when they suffered a shocking loss to the New York Jets. Meanwhile, the Cowboys were seeking to prove that they would finally overcome the label of “next year’s champions,” after falling short in the NFL championships in previous seasons.
