By no means is the rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts great and memorable. Both teams have a plethora of Hall of Fame and other great players participate in this rivalry that goes back to 1961. The most famous game of course was Super Bowl V – from the 1970 season played in January of 1971. This still may be the ugliest of Super Bowls; many people refer to this as the Blunder Bowl. It is the other side of the spectrum that folks need to make note.
The Cowboys and Colts have played 18 games now (counting Super Bowl V). Eight of those game have been decided by 20 points or more:
