A 51-yard field goal by Bobby Howfield and Pete Liske's pass to Jim Whalen wrapped up the Broncos' first victory over Atlanta in the final period. Denver's first period TD traced to Charley Greer's interception on Atlanta's first play. Howfield, who equaled his club record for distance, had an earlier field goal attempt of 19 yards blocked.

Six interceptions, three by Jerry Logan, including one for a TD, enabled Baltimore to reverse the decision of Super Bowl III despite a 397-yard passing effort by Joe Namath. The Colts interceptions were one off their club mark. Johnny Unitas, making his first appearance in New York in a dozen years, moved the Colts into a quick 17-0 lead within six minutes and kept them in front the rest of the way. Namath's yardage included a dozen receptions by rookie Eddie Bell for 151 yards.
