Blunder Bowl
The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Colts played in the first Super Bowl after the NFL-AFL merger. They bumbled, stumbled, and blundered through a combined 11 turnovers. Did either team want to win? Hall of Famers were in the middle of crazy plays: a multi-tipped pass landed in the lap of Colts TE John Mackey and went for a 75-yard TD, Cowboys DB Mel Renfro’s mental lapse allowed a field goal to be downed at the Dallas 1, and Colts QB Johnny Unitas had a rough day and fractured a rib. The outcome hinged on a field goal by a super-nervous kicker.
