Page "Super Bowl XIII" Paragraph 35

Two plays later, the Steelers faced 3rd down and 4 from the Dallas 17.

Henderson sacked Bradshaw for a 12-yard loss, but the play was nullified by a delay of game penalty on Pittsburgh, bringing up 3rd down and 9 instead of a fourth down.

Replays clearly showed the whistle blew before the play's onset, plus most of the players pulled up and stopped playing after a whistle sounded, but Henderson claimed, " I didn't hear a whistle until after I had knocked Bradshaw down.

The same guy ( Swearingen ) made that call too.

Who is that guy?

" " Franco Harris confronted Henderson for taunting Bradshaw after the whistle, and on the next play, Bradshaw handed the ball off to Harris, who raced untouched, with help from the umpire impeding Cowboys ' safety Charlie Waters ' attempt to tackle him, up the middle for a 22-yard touchdown run.

The score increased Pittsburgh's lead to 28 – 17.
