Meanwhile, the Steelers/CowboysSuper Bowl rivalry was renewed with the underdog Steelers making their first Super Bowl appearance in 16 years and taking on the juggernaut Cowboys. Welcome to January 28, 1996. The Dallas Cowboys started playing the game during pregame introductions as they waited over two minutes to wander out to the Sun Devil Stadium playing surface, keeping the Steelers waiting in the locker room. But they were just as ready when the real game began as Norm Johnson teed up the pigskin and kicked it away to Kevin Johnson. On the very first play, Carnell Lake nearly picked off Troy Aikman, but it fell incomplete on an attempt to Jay Novacek. But on the next play the triplets heated up with a 20-yarder from Aikman to Irvin and a 23-yard dash by Emmitt Smith. But Lake broke up another pass on the drive and the Steelers stopped Williams on an end-around, forcing a Chris Boniol field goal with only 2:55 elapsed, it was 3-0 Dallas.
