Iconic Rivalry Rekindled! (Cowboys vs. 49ers 1992, NFC Championship) 

True that. I remember this game because this was my senior year of high school.

Exactly, an icon of the game.

and pat summerall

The glory days was them announcing...

RIP to Both those men 🙏🙏🙏

They were Great Announcers

Yea it sure was, a f I wanna say nfc won from 1981-1997

That why it's important to know the history of NFL #RED&GOLDEMPIRE#FUCKTHENFCEAST#NFCWESTBEST#BANGGBANGNINERGANG#inpurdywetrust

@@augiegonzalez1082 remember that the Cowboys lead the playoff series 5-3, including 2-1 in the 90s. 😉

@@augiegonzalez1082bang bang wtf is that some g*y ass g*y area shit. Just remember it’ll take two more wins against DEM BOYZ to be even with them. 5-3 against the bang bang douches

👍👍👍👍👍 Yeah, baby!!

We'd watch Dallas Thanksgiving games with my uncle during the 70s and 80s and did the same thing. At halftime, we'd be in the backyard throwing the ball around.

Same for me in the 70s. Late 60s. But the 49ers should have never gotten rid of the GOAT. Montana STLL. The GOAT.

Man this comment brought back memories.

But it just doesn't feel like a 49ers-Cowboys game with Summerall and Madden no longer with us...😭

@@dionr1168 Dak is not Troy and Garapalo isn't Young.

@@jpowers55 they are this week.

Why are two NFC teams playing on CBS and not on FOX who actually has the NFC package?

@@cat6cableguy81 To be fair NBC is carrying the AFC for the second straight year, as they usually switch it up between the two conferences

Facts and Troy put that ball right on the spot for Harper to keeping going after the catch

Indeed 😎

He called himself the real number 80

@@imthebest7290 Lol, he did, but I will say that he was the best #2 to Irvn's #1 the Cowboys ever had.

And that lead to a huge contract with the Bucs & he absolutely blew when he played here. He was a product of being on a great team.

Broncos defenses were top during this period, but their offense was mediocre. Oilers could score at will and shut teams down. But they'd always get exposed and exploited in the playoffs.

The 1992 preseason prediction was 49ers winning the NFC. Washington, the reigning SB champs, were picked to play against them in this game. Dallas was behind Eagles in the NFC East predictions, but only a small minority had them making it to this game.

@@RichV20 Which is funny now, because those 1992-94 Cowboys were easily one of the greatest NFL teams of all time. Had the idiot Cowboys owner (Jerry Jones) not run off Jimmy Johnson, that team would have won 4 Super Bowls in a row instead of winning "just" 3 in 4 years.

@@RichV20prior to the ‘92 season Peter King actually picked the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl.

I agree. If it wasn’t for the Packers upsetting the 49ers in the 95 playoffs, we would’ve seen the Cowboys and 49ers meet in the playoffs for 4 consecutive seasons.

Yeah after it ended it just felt like the NFL season was over. When Madden said "and congrats to the Bills for winning the AFC" it was like "oh yeah, there's another game" but it was a formality, and you know the Bills were going to get their asses beat.

@@frankaddington1773 you do realize that the Bills beat the 49ers in the first ever no punt game that season, right. So, when you're putting down the Bills, you're also putting down the 49ers who lost to them and you're making the Cowboys victory over those same 49ers not sound so impressive.

That's fine. I know that a Sept 13 game is of utmost importance for some, but as a Skins fan back then, I almost had to go to therapy over how much I hated that Dallas team, and I think many others did as well. So I will always hold it against those Buffalo teams because they had two opportunities to knock off the most despised team in the world, and both times they blew it.

@@frankaddington1773 Sept 13?

@@jxchamb that was the date of the Bills/49ers game that season

Mine too. That play was epic.

All of those things made for a better NFL. It was a lot of change.

@@sludge4125 I must disagree. Did they think the Cowboys were unstoppable in those short years? Look at the dynasties of 70s early 80s. Was such bull shit. Maybe shitstick Jones had a hand in it. Best coaches left like plague was coming. DIE JERRY JONES.!!!!. Ps thanks 4 5 good years.

That's insane. Especially with how relatively successful they've been. Ik about the CC drought but they still win quite a bit. 30 years without a PO road win. Wow

Yeah but last time they played against each other in the playoffs was back in January 1995. That was nearly 27 years ago.

@Fries Yes It Has 30 Years Ago, Happy New Year To You.

Can’t wait to beat you guys come Sunday! Jokes aside, should be a fun matchup. Also rip John madden

@@samuelmartinez6344 im 27

Why not it's scripted that way?

The Cowboys and 49ers always seem to play each other in bunches. 3 straight playoff matchups in 1970-72, then 3 straight in 1992-94, with the famous / infamous (depending on who you ask) Catch game coming right in the middle in 1981. Wonder if this will spark a new series of Cowboys-Niners playoff games over the next few years.

@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 I think they might play each other again this year

@@imthebest7290 they just might! 😳😆

I was a teenager when dallas won in the 90s.im 44 now in 2023.DC4L

You & me both

Big name players like haley, novacek retired after super bowl. Everyone aged out their contracts and deemed expendable in the late 90s

Troy Aikman = STUD

That's complete nonsense. It's what got him in the hof. It certainly wasn't his stats.

He's not underrated at big games, I don't think, but he had an underrated arm. That pump fake was a thing of beauty. Man could throw deep.

@@javi__... That's just horse shit. Anyone who watched those games and season's know how good he was.

He is. But could get the Ring s

I had no clue all the wildcard games were playoff rematches.

@Fries And that fact makes the Bengals-Raiders game unique. One of them will end a long playoff losing streak.

@@finchborat That Bengals/Raiders game was Bo Jackson's last NFL game. And not to nitpick, but The Raiders won that game.

@@SlipperyGoulet And the Bengals have suffered ever since. We'll find out if they break the Bo Jackson curse on Saturday.

Poor St. Louis, watching the Cardinals-Rams game thinking they had both teams at different points.

That was During the Time When the musicians Legend Michael Jackson performing the Super Bowl Halftime show at Super Bowl 27 in The Early 90s he was extremely electrified at his talented performance.

Great times!!!!!!

Was it even holding

@@TripAces Clearly holding. You can't tackle the defensive player to stop him from sacking Steve Young. Had he not held him Steve Young would have been sacked. Great call by the refs.

@@greatriffishere I know... it was just such a perfect play.. hahah and Im convinced Oliver Stone used it in Any Given Sunday.... that long pass for a TD called back on for Holding.

They had plan B free agency.

Joe Cool might have pulled some magic like he did in the catch game and in KC the next year, as a Cowboys fan, I’m glad the Niners stuck with Young.

@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 I agree with you.

2 reasons (other than Herschel Walker trade) that led to the dynasty. 1. Charles Haley 2. Transition to Steve Young. As a cowboys fan there's no doubt in my mind if Montana plays when healthy the Niners take at least one from the cowboys. At least.

I think the 49ers defense, while great during the regular season, looked really old and slow in this game. A lot of their great 80s defensive players were gone (Ronnie Lott, Eric Wright, Charles Haley, Keena Turner) or old/slow (Michael Walter for example). Eric Davis wasn’t a #1 corner and Michael Irvin was killing him on these slants.

Not sure what u folks are talking about.. besides the one interception, Steve Young was brilliant. Second interception was forced because the game was already over. He even got robbed of the bomb to Rice because of that bs holding penalty in the first quarter. It was the Niners D that choked in this game not Steve Young.

I think it was Alan Grant who fumbled here, though. DC was shaky sometimes but ld take him over Adam Walker anyday.

Emmitt pretty much put that nonsense to bed the next season when he won the league MVP (only Dallas Cowboy in franchise history to win it).

He was a clutch player in his prime..

Emmitt is the product of a great runner behind all time great blocking. There have been great lines without great runners, and great runners who never had great lines. That was both together. Emmitt made defenders miss with both his elusiveness and would power through tackles. He also found ways to maintain balance and recover from tackles which would have seen other lesser backs fall to the ground. No way he has his records without that offensive line. Where would Sanders be had he played for Dallas? Where would Emmitt be had he played for Detroit? I doubt that their career numbers would be the same, and Barry might have kept playing for 3+ more years had he not been a Lion.

@@paulgaither Maybe so. But Emmitt shouldn't be penalized historically for taking advantage of being in a better situation. We can woulda/coulda/shoulda this to death but the bottom line is he did the job and he has the records and nothing can be done or said to change that reality. He was a smart runner. Tough as nails, elusive, could block, and could catch out of the backfield. And he was still a 1000 yd back well into his 30's long after that Oline had passed it's glory days. He was still a 1000 yd guy in his late 30's on a whole different team. Barry's greatness does absolutely nothing to negate Emmitt's. Dallas' entire offense sputtered with Emmitt off the field with a HOF QB and WR. He was the best player on 3 SB teams. No alternate universe changes any of that

@@paulgaither Barry was not a big game back... Emmit was money when you needed him to be... Barry couldn't run in that offense...his style was unconventional... fullback would get in the way...

Yeah, those eight turnovers by the niners in two playoff games just screams greatness... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It had great players

Yeah I agree. I’m honestly surprised in hindsight how the 49ers didn’t have him go out there when they were trailing late in the game.

Yeah I miss smash mouth football.

spoiler alert, what the fuck

FOX took over from CBS in 1994

Were it not for two Neil O'Donnel interceptions in SB 30, Jimmy Johnson's team would've been the last Cowboys SB champion.
