PASADENA, Calif. (AP) Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith were the young stars of Dallas' up-and-coming team that seemed to have reached the Super Bowl a year or more ahead of schedule. They were going up against the seasoned Buffalo Bills who had come up short against the Giants and Washington in the previous two Super Bowls. But it was Dallas with the youngest and fastest team in football that would roll to a 52-17 victory behind a whopping nine takeaways. It was the start of Dallas' drama-filled dynasty that would include another win over Buffalo a year later.
