Quarterback Craig Morton is a Cowboy reject, the Dallas starting quarterback until Semi-Peerless Roger Staubach unseated him. In their locker room after beating the defending Super Bowl Champion Oakland Raiders for the A.F.C. title, the Broncos were ecstatic, scarcely believing the dream had come true. Shouts, cheers and champagne washed their victory. When the Cowboys filed into their redoubt after their N.F.C. title win over Minnesota, there was no raucous celebration and no bubbly wasted by the cool young professionals from Dallas. And in their cities ... well, Denver fans went berserk, while the Dallas fans, accustomed to such moments...
...outburst in Denver's Mile High Stadium after the Super Bowl slot had been assured was the peaking of a fever that has raged this fall in the Rockies, leaving all of its victims colored a resonant orange. The team color has banished every other hue from the spectrum in Denver.

I'm just beginning to realize it, and I'm excited." Looking to a bright future at age 34, Morton plans to buy a house in Den ver and settle down for the first time since he left Dallas...
Since the Denver cheerleaders are drawn from lithe, ski-slope-burnished Rocky Mountain womanhood, a substantial showdown will occur this Sunday on the Superdome sidelines as well as between the goal lines. It could be more exciting than the game, which?if this year's Super Bowl follows the soporific pattern of recent years?may be a dogged defensive struggle. Certainly Denver's strategy will center on its magnificent 3-4 Orange Crush. When asked whom the Cowboys feared most among that band, Landry replied: "All eleven guys. They play as if they were backed into a corner and fighting...
