Between the Lines : Dallas passing vs. Pittsburgh defense

The Dallas Cowboys have a formidable passing game to complement the one-man running game of Emmitt Smith. One receiver Michael Irvin has a career-best season, and the other, Kevin Williams, emerged in his own right in the final games of the regular season. Steeler cornerback Willie Williams led the AFC with seven interceptions.
