 Baltimore 16    Dallas 13    

A 32-yard field goal by rookie kicker Jim O'Brien brought the Baltimore Colts a victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the final five seconds of Super Bowl V.  The game between the champions of the AFC and NFC was played on artificial turf for the first time.  Dallas led 13-6 at the half but interceptions by Rick Volk and Mike Curtis set up a Baltimore touchdown and O'Brien's decisive kick in the fourth period.  Earl Morrall relieved an injured Johnny Unitas late in the first half, although Unitas completed the Colts' only scoring pass. It caromed off receiver Eddie Hinton's fingertips, off Dallas defensive back Mel Renfro, and finally settled into the grasp of John Mackey, who went 45 yards to score on a 75-yard play.  Dallas' Chuck Howley, who picked off two passes, became the first defensive player and the first player from a losing team to be named MVP. 

This is a very rare Press/Media patch given to them as a form of identification to get in/out of the game.  The first three Super Bowls were a tie clasp & cuffling set.  For Super Bowl IV & V, these Press patches were made.  With Super Bowl VI and up they made pins.  This patch measures 2 3/4" x 2 1/2" sewn on stitching with a rough backing.  Although there are replica patched they are of a different size and have a plastic coating on the backside.   This is the REAL deal.  These patches rarely become available to the public.
