DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas Cowboys linemen Randy White and Harvey Martin led the team's defensive charge as the 'Doomsday Defense' crushed the orange-clad Denver Broncos in the NFL title game in January 1978.

The Cowboys defensive pass rush battered Broncos quarterbacks Craig Morton and Norris Weese throughout the game. The Dallas defense forced Denver into eight turnovers -- four interceptions and four fumbles.
