Super Bowl XIII, in late Jan, 1979, featured NFC Champion and defending SB champs the Cowboys against AFC champion and (at that time 2 time SB champ) the Steelers. That game was not only a clash of football titans- it had THE MOST HALL OF FAMERS TO EVER BE IN A SB. And it’s not even close.
There were 23 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame at that game that day. A record that still stands today.
Sadly, the Cowboys lost this great battle 35-31 (the most disappointing loss I ever felt as a Cowboys fan) But as time goes on, this game stands as a game that had the biggest collection of NFL studs in the history of the NFL.
Here were the HOFers from each team:
DALLAS COWBOYS
Maybe in the near future that gets rectified.
