by winning the 1967 nfl championship game, the packers achieved a "three-peat" (three consecutive league championships) for only the second time in franchise history and the first time since they were named league champions following the 1929–31 seasons. to this day, no other nfl team has matched or surpassed this record. the packers' back-to-back wins in the first two super bowls remains a super bowl record, and has since been tied seven times by six other franchises: the miami dolphins won super bowls vii and viii following the 1972 and 1973 seasons, the pittsburgh steelers won super bowls ix and x following the 1974 and 1975 seasons as well as super bowls xiii and xiv following the 1978 and 1979 seasons and remain, to date, the only team to win back-to-back super bowl titles more than once, the san francisco 49ers won super bowls xxiii and xxiv following the 1988 and 1989 seasons, the dallas cowboys won super bowls xxvii and xxviii following the 1992 and 1993 seasons, the denver broncos won super bowls xxxii and xxxiii following the 1997 and 1998 seasons, and most recently, the new england patriots won super bowls xxxviii and xxxix following the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

for the cowboys, troy aikman completed 19 out of 27 for 207 yards with 1 interception, while alvin harper was the team's top receiver with three catches for 75 yards. emmitt smith, still suffering the effects of a shoulder injury during the regular-season finale, became just the second player in super bowl history to rush for 100 yards in back-to-back super bowls (the other being larry csonka, who did it in super bowls vii and viii). he also became the fourth player to rush for touchdowns in back-to-back super bowls (joining franco harris, john riggins and thomas). smith also became the first player to lead the league in rushing yards, win the nfl most valuable player award, and win super bowl mvp all in the same season. he was also the fourth player, after bart starr (1966), terry bradshaw (1978), and joe montana (1989) to win both the nfl mvp and super bowl mvp during the same season. defensively, james washington, who began as the nickel-back to counter buffalo's "no-huddle" and frequent use of three wide receivers, had a phenomenal game with his 46-yard fumble return touchdown, an interception, forcing a thurman thomas fumble that darren woodson recovered, and collecting 11 tackles. washington had only started in one game for the cowboys during the season, but finished this one just a few votes short of earning the mvp award.
