of the reason for Peters, who felt the Broncos' quarterback was lucky to have only been intercepted four times in the first half, and a total output that amounted to only one completion for positive yardage that was not followed by an immediate turnover. Nor had the Cowboys impressed him, in large part due to Herrera's missed field goals in the second quarter. "Blowouts can at least be fun to watch sometimes", he concluded. "This game was nothing but pain."

Starting lineups Source: Officials Referee: Jim Tunney #32 third Super Bowl (VI, XI) Umpire: Joe Connell #57 third Super Bowl (VI, X) Head Linesman: Tony Veteri #36 third Super Bowl (II, VII) Line Judge: Art Holst #33 second Super Bowl (VI) Back Judge: Ray Douglas #5 second Super Bowl (IX) Field Judge: Bob Wortman #84 second Super Bowl (VI) Alternate Referee: Cal Lepore #72 worked Super Bowl III as line judge Alternate Umpire: Frank Sinkovitz #20 would work Super Bowl XV Note: A seven-official system was not used until the following season Jim Tunney was the only referee to work consecutive Super Bowls. The NFL now prohibits referees from working Super Bowls in consecutive seasons (a referee can be an alternate the season following an on-field assignment), although officials at other positions can do so. This was the first Super Bowl in which all officials had previously called one. Five of the six officials—all except Veteri—previously worked a Super Bowl in New Orleans. Of those five, only Douglas was not on the crew for Super Bowl VI at Tulane Stadium.
