funkyflights great effort, indeed. And many often forget that the ‘94 Dallas Cowboys had lost 5 starters (4 being pro bowlers) from the previous year’s championship team to free agency. Pro bowl tackle Erik Williams had also been lost for the season, due to injury. Most importantly, the Cowboys were without former head coach Jimmy Johnson and offensive coordinator Norv Turner, too. All while the 49ers loaded their team.

It may surprise the casual fan to know that this is the game both Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin have consistently said they're the most proud of, because even though the Cowboys lost and even though they played arguably their worst seven minutes of football at the start, they delivered an absolutely gutsy performance for the remainder of the game.

[@salamander337]

[@cedricbeard4609]

It might be the greatest non SB game ever played. Legendary statement performances in this one. Obvious Irvin proved he’s a big game WR, even in adverse circumstances. Deion led to SF’s first score because Aikman threw into coverage, which exactly what SF wanted. ✅. He gives up a key catch to Irvin on a comeback route, but adjusts perfectly in the second half on Irvin comeback routes. ✅. Then he gets a key Int and has the key pass breakup in the second half. ✅. When you watch the entire game you see Dallas neglecting Smith in the 1st half for dink & dunk short passes, hoping to lure Deion to sleep / wear him down. ✅. I give him the game ball off of X’s & O’s dominance SF’s front seven did a great job and getting to the QB against one the best O Lines ever. Steve Young and Rice could easily been seen as an afterthought because this game was THAT good.

[@dice6953]

49ers/Cowboys matchups in the 90s were MUST SEE TV!!!

[@DALLAS__-qs2mj]

I remember this game had me heated in 94. Time heals because now I can atleast enjoy how hard we fought back till the end. A valiant effort for sure. Them o'l 49ers became the number 1 rival in my book after that epic 90's struggle where we came up short. Great game.

[@aj_narasimhan]

I'm still not over it dammit! We should have won that game

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

I know this may not make you feel better, but I don't know of a single football fan who saw this game and thought of Dallas as losers. They played their heart out until the last play. This was one of the best losing efforts in NFL history, and the _de facto_ Super Bowl that year. Everyone knows Dallas would have beat San Diego by about the same score SF did.

[@DeplorableJaredBrodersen]

​​@@aj_narasimhanNo Dallas should NOT have won that game. Everyone knows San Francisco was due to beat those damn Cowboys after two frustrating losses in the NFC championship game prior to this. They were almost equally matched but I always felt the niners were the better team. It was Steve Young and the Niners' day. They outplayed those cowboys and you know it.

[@R-BURQUENO]

I REMEMBER THIS. I WAS 10 YEARS OLD! HAVE BEEN A 9INER FAN AND A DALLAS HATER EVER SINCE!!!

[@jackduncan5442]

49ers sold their soul to the devil to win that SB. Haven't won one since.

[@thesentinel5523]

Our 94' team was lit. We swaggered our way into the superbowl for a coronation.

[@roddcayton6379]

Your avatar is excellent. "The world is a manacled place."

[@jackduncan5442]

It was "lit" because THE BEST HC IN THE LEAGUE JIMMY JOHNSON WAS FIRED. With Jimmy at the helm, they have Erik Williams at RT, Larry Allen is Rookie of year at RG, Dallas ENTIRE O LINE IS IN THE PRO BOWL, and Jimmy NEVER cuts Jimmy Smith. Whi feasts in the slot and Dallas has BY FAR THE BEST OFFENSE IN THE LEAGUE. TRIPLETS, Moose, Jay, Harp, Jimmy Smtih and the GREATEST O LINE EVER.

[@jackduncan5442]

Jimmy NEVER EVER let's Ken Norton sign with San Francisco. Kenny left Dallas AFTER JIMMY WAS FIRED. Jimmy also NEVER drafts SHITTY SHANTE CARVER, AND GIFTS SF FLOYD AND DRAKEFORD. Instead he drafts solid D line and secondary depth. Dallas has BY FAR the best defense in the league. Swarming D line best linebacking Core for a decade and SHUTDOWN secondary.

[@jackduncan5442]

And with all that Dallas demolishes San Francisco in both games 3 peats and cements their place as the greatest team ever.

San Francisco won the belt this year. For those of you curious, there is an actual NFL title belt.

[@davidca96]

This was the peak of the NFL in my opinion, too many rules these days but I do respect they are trying to keep the players safe, but it took a lot out of the game when you cant make a good hit without a flag anymore.

[@Sassonic]

Both teams were so good during this era!

[@JJGerrard1980]

Aikman was fantastic this game. I loved those niner teams n hated the Cowboys but gd were they great.

[@frankhtlllful]

Those were good times in football for niners and cowboys fan. Probably the best rivalry off all time or at least close to it!

[@jjramos46]

Man Aikman couldn't get protection to save his life but boy those unis sure looked nice!

[@jackduncan5442]

Larry Allen on 1 leg will cause that.

[@chrisrenshaw8529]

one day niners will win a sixth super bowl title I still have faith

[@frankhtlllful]

As a cowboy fan I don't have faith in Dallas. We have sucked ever since the last superbowl. Atleast ya made it again and almost one it. Maybe this year ya can pull it off. This year sf is a contendor for sure.

[@jackduncan5442]

Trey Lance will deliver the 49ers a Superbowl.

Cowboys lost the game in the first five minutes. They controlled the game the rest of the way, but had too big of a hill to climb back up.

[@redriderbbgun8018]

I was gonna say the exact same thing. Most people don't realize the Niners took care of business against the Cowboys during the regular season too, and did it somewhat handily.

21-0 in the first is a little more than a 2 run lead in the 3rd inning bud

Much respect to Steve Young. Montana never had to face a team like the 90’s Cowboys, which was a jacked up version of the 80’s NYGiants which knocked Montana out twice in the playoffs.

[@lzv6990]

Montana never had to face as complete a team as the 90s Cowboys, but he did face better defenses than the 90s Cowboys’ defenses. Particularly the 84 Bears, 85/86 Giants, 88 Bears, and 90 Giants.

Despite loathing both teams; especially Dallas, the 90's was the Golden age of Football, & the NFL. All teams were good, but damn, SF & Dallas were on another level, & I never missed a SF or Dallas game. I remember watching them every Sunday, & later that day, watching 60 minutes with an attitude. Now, I'm in my 49th season as a Viking. Yes, child abuse to my two kids, & now 3 grandkids, by turning them all to be Vikings....

[@scottjohnson9619]

Excellent quality 👍

[@davidsantos6383]

1994 was an amazing season for the 49ers, they finally won the NFC Championship, and won the Super Bowl. I said to myself like this: YES! We finally did it.

[@jackduncan5442]

They finally did it because Jerry Jones allowed it.

[@keithclark7266]

Steve Young of the 90's reminds me of another southpaw in the Bay area from the 70's Kenny Stabler. Stabler lost 2 of 3 AFC Championship games to Pittsburgh....Young lost 2 of 3 NFC Championship games to the Cowboys. Young also lost the 1997 NFC Championship game to the Packers. Stabler had lost the 1973 AFC Championship game to the Dolphins, and lost the 1977 AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
