Missed the edit window to add this: to date that is the only Super Bowl where a team failed to score a touchdown. Even the vaunted 1985 Bears and their arguably greatest-ever defense gave up 10 points to New England in Super Bowl XX. Super Bowl VI’s Cowboys had a strong defense, their “Doomsday Defense,” and Pugh was a key part of that.
Pugh played in Dallas’ first four Super Bowls, winning two of them.
[Bolding mine.] I should note that the Dolphins’ defense gave up zero points in Super Bowl 7, ditto the Steelers’ defense in Super Bowl 9, and the Ravens’ defense in Super Bowl 35. In all three cases, the points scored by the losing teams were on special teams plays.
I don’t know about you, but I’m keeping her on my list until she does go, even if I get no points, just to spite her and the Grim Reaper! Anyone else? I get the feeling that if she is still around in 2 years, she’ll by far set the record for the most number of picks of someone who generates no points…
Arkansas poet Miller Williams, who spoke at President Clinton’s second inauguration, died on January 1 at age 84. He was the father of Grammy winning singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams. (Sorry if this was already posted earlier. I looked and didn’t see it.)
