A second straight AFC win. Although the game started with promise as Stabler hooked up with Cliff Branch for an early score, it quickly settled into a duel between the defenses and each teams' kicker (and a safety for the Oakland 'D'). The big difference on the day was Stabler who excelled despite having no running game behind him. Dallas QB Roger Staubach played well enough, but the Cowboys simply couldn't convert third downs when it mattered.
