Dallas Cowboys 1971: A Game-by-Game Guide

Relive the Cowboys' championship 1971 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the shootout win over the Bills on opening day through the franchise's first Super Bowl title, as told in the original newspaper stories.

Halfway through the 1971 season, the Cowboys were 4-3 and in turmoil. But after playing musical quarterbacks with Craig Morton and Roger Staubach, coach Tom Landry made one of his best decisions ever by handing the job full time to Staubach. "Roger the Dodger" quickly vaulted to NFL stardom as he passed and scrambled Dallas to victory over the Dolphins in Super Bowl VI, finally shedding for the Cowboys the label that they couldn't win the big one.

There were many highlights along the way, including the opening of a grand new home, Texas Stadium; key wins over the Redskins and Rams as part of a seven-game winning streak to end the regular season and stirring playoff triumphs over the Vikings and 49ers to capture the NFC crown.

All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Landry's Boys as they silenced their critics and brought Dallas to the pinnacle of pro football.

As an added bonus, links to many video highlights are included to add more depth to the story of the 1971 Cowboys. Whether you are a die-hard Cowboys fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1971 Dallas Cowboys.
