Part 2/10:
Both the Colts and the Cowboys came into the game with something to prove. The Colts, after enduring a brutal 16-7 defeat against the Jets as 18-point favorites in Super Bowl III, managed to shake off a poor following season, finishing 8-5-1 and just missing the playoffs. Under new head coach D. McCaffrey, they rebounded impressively, culminating in a 15-1 season and an NFL Championship victory that landed them back in the Super Bowl.
