Super Bowl XVI • San Francisco 49ers vs Cincinnati Bengals Radio Broadcast / Super Bowl XVI showcased a pivotal matchup between the San Francisco 49ers, led by Joe Montana under coach Bill Walsh, and the Cincinnati Bengals, steered by Ken Anderson with coach Forrest Gregg. As the season unfolded, both teams had demonstrated formidable prowess, with the 49ers refining their innovative offensive strategies and the Bengals showcasing resilience and tactical acumen.

The 49ers' defensive squad, instrumental in curbing the Bengals' momentum, forced crucial turnovers, underscoring their role in the team's strategic victories.
The 49ers' triumph, concluding a 26-21 victory, not only secured their first Super Bowl title but also underscored the emergence of a dynasty under Walsh's guidance. Reflecting on the season, this game was a testament to the 49ers' strategic innovation and team cohesion. The Bengals, despite the loss, showcased their competitive spirit, marking the beginning of a rivalry that would be remembered for years to come.

Roger Staubach Discusses a Late Hit He Received In Philadelphia And Craig Morton / In 1971, Morton began the season as the starter, but after a loss to the New Orleans Saints, Staubach assumed the role. However, in a game against the Chicago Bears during the seventh week of that season, coach Tom Landry alternated Staubach and Morton on each play, sending in the quarterbacks with the play call from the sideline. Dallas gained almost 500 yards of offense but committed seven turnovers that resulted in a 23–19 loss to a mediocre Bears squad that dropped the Cowboys to 4–3 for the season, two games behind the Washington Redskins in the NFC East race.
