Super Bowl V is sometimes called the "Blunder Bowl" or the "Stupor Bowl" because it was filled with poor play, a missed PAT, penalties, turnovers, and officiating miscues. The two teams committed a Super Bowl record 11 combined turnovers in the game, and the Colts' seven turnovers are currently the most ever committed by a winning team in a Super Bowl. Dallas also set a Super Bowl record with 10 penalties, costing them 133 yards. It was finally settled when Colts rookie kicker Jim O'Brien kicked a 32-yard field goal with 5 seconds left in the game. In order to win the game, Baltimore had to overcome a 13–6 deficit after three quarters, and losing their starting quarterback Johnny Unitas in the second quarter.

This Super Bowl V program is among the most rare of all Super Bowl programs. Only a few thousand copies reportedly made it to the game because the delivery truck was in an accident on the way. The story is told that most of the programs supposedly ended up being lost in a swamp area en route to Miami during the crash.

This program has some wear around the edges which is visible in the attached photos.
