Great take!! Always thought JJones never got the credit he deserved! Jeffcoat was one of my all-time favorite Cowboys, so happy he got the rings his talent deserved!
Gotta love Jeffcoat. Jimmy got rid of almost every Tom Landry player but he and Bill Bates. Jimmy keeping him is a sign of how good Jim Jeffcoat was. Im glad he was able to sip the champagne after going through the leanest years since when the Cowboys entered the league.
@@BeefPapa the cowboys were great in the 70s as well. Also, it took the niners 14 year's to get 5 rings and it only took the cowboys 4 years to get 3. The truth hurts sometimes
This game signified how great the Cowboys were because this was them at their peak. Even when Aikman went down, Bernie Kosar jumped into action and hit Harper with a huge touchdown that sealed this game.
What made these Cowboys so effective is that they could run or pass efficiently out of multiple sets. And having one of the best O Lines ever didn’t hurt.
You mean the line that literally got troy Aikman hurt in the game that you’re commenting on? The line that had several different starters in it throughout the three championship teams? It is really time for some of you to start giving credit to do more than just the fucking offensive line of this team…as if half the guys were not veterans on the 1-15 team. As if troy Aikman and wasnt injured several times throughout this entire season because of poor offensive line play. 100% fact.
@@evilsWa What offense in history has the leading rusher 2 years in a row, with a bad offensive line? There isn’t one, you don’t win rushing titles with bad O lines. Smith lead the league in rushing in 92’, and 93’. In 92 there were only 6 quarterbacks that got sacked LESS than Aikman. I don’t know wtf you’re talking about, you probably need to research before you respond to things. What else you got?
@@CJ-512 you do realize that the whole line is responsible for both pass blocking and unblocking right? It’s all well and good that they helped him and Smith rush for a bunch of yards… But the fact absolutely remains that Troy Aikman only finished one season without being injured. Mostly because of the offensive line. INCLUDING IN THIS GAME. The line is the same one that went 1-15 four years earlier. Somehow it became the greatest ever with the addition of Emmitt Smith. Interesting.
@@CJ-512 oh and btw in this season where EMMITT won the MVP, how great was the offensive line in the four games he missed significant time? When Dallas lost all four games? Stop taking credit away from Emmitt by acting like the O-Line was so great that anyone could run behind them. It is simply (proven) not true.
@@ronaldmorr9445 That Cowboys O-Line won back to back SBs under Jimmy Johnson AND one more under BS. The first to win 3 in 4 years. The Bears had a great one year.
There wasn't the extra week between this game and the Superbowl. Aikman probably still had a concussion. He later stated that he remembered little about the week leading up to and the Superbowl itself.
17 points is still a blowout. Well, at least it was back then. Also the Niners scored a garbage TD in the 4th. the final might've been 38-21 but it wasn't even that close. But, yes, if Troy doesn't get knocked out then there's a chance they end up hanging 42-45 on them.
I WENT TO THIS GAME WITH MY BROTHER. THE DAY BEFORE THE BIG GAME SOMEONE FROM CHURCH CALLED ME AND ASK IF I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE BIG GAME. I SAID YES, I WAS SO EXCITED. I CALLED MY BROTHER RIGHT AWAY, AND MY BROTHER COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. GREAT GAME, WONDERFUL MEMORIES.
Been a diehard Cowboys fan since the late 60's as a little kid and I can say the first half of this game was the most fun I've ever had at a game. The 2nd half was a little less fun as Troy was knocked out. Kosar played well but had Aikman not been hurt, I believe the final would have been more like 48-14.
When the Cowboys O line was Dominating everybody, and HOF Quarterback, (Aikman) RB ( Emmitt)WR(Irvin) TE (Jay Novacek) MLB (Norton) and basically the whole team was Dominating, back in the Day!!
@@evilsWaHe got hurt. Its ONE PLAY lol. What this gentleman said was true. The O lines of the Johnson era were nasty and dominant. Its inarguable, yet because Troy got hurt because of one play, thats erased? Shut up. Sick thing is this line didnt even have Larry Allen yet.
Had Jimmy still been the coach the Niners ramping up for the 94 season would not have mattered. He owned the Niners and lived rent free in their heads.
His team was as loaded as any in NFL history. Not unlike his teams in Miami. Now he was significantly better than Seifert. I think that fact lingered with SF "in their head" as much as anything.
Bernie Kosar lost heart break game to John Elway ..Browns vs Broncos, but he got his win and ring w Dallas. Miami Hurricane coach Jimmy Johnson still knew what Bernie can do for his team. He coached Bernie in college, and Michael Irvin.
I been a cowboys fan 46yrs the worst thing that happened was Jerry Jones interfering with Jimmy Johnson's running the team the cowboys haven't been that good that great since Jimmy left,!!!!!! Jerry still messing shit up Damn!!!!
@@jaylucien669 I know, its hard being a Cowboys fan, because management finds a way to muck up a good thing. They say Super Bowl or bust, but won't commit financially. I still have to roll with the silver, blue, and white though.
Jerry had the perfect blend of an all-time great team, and a head coach that they would follow through the gates of Hell, and he couldn't give his ego a rest long enough to let them achieve their true greatness. That team with that coach probably would have won 5 Super Bowls in the 90s. Instead, Jerry has gotten rich and powerful beyond his wildest dreams, but he will never sniff another Super Bowl, and it's his own damn fault.
Jimmy Johnson gave the Cowboys a tremendous psychological advantage in this game. A few days before the NFC Championship game he told a Dallas radio disc jockey the Cowboys were going to beat the 49ers again to get to the Super Bowl.49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice drew a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty after the player intoductions. Coach Johnson just instilled a strong belief in his players and they made him look like a genius. The 49ers trailed the Cowboys 28-7 at halftime. The Cowboys would eventually beat the 49ers for a second straight year in the NFC Championship Game 38-21!!!
And you can put it in three inch bold headline. Lol, how awesome is that to have that much confidence to even say that, let alone say it when playing what was an AWESOME team in the San Fransisco 49ers that year. Deion obviously helped bigtime the next year, but this 49ers team was still VERY good, and without Dallas in the league, THEY would have been going on to repeat against the Bills a week or two later. You crave that type of confidence in a head coach nowadays as a Cowboys fan. We cant even beat average teams in the playoffs, let alone a borderline historic team like we did here.
budli22p , that was the day before when the ticket called jimmy and he was driving down freeway going to dinner. It put a fire in his team. Jimmy has a degree in psychology
Damn i watched this game live 26 years and now i'm watching it again and for a second i almost forget we are in 2020 !!! The old vet Jim Jeffcoat walks down Steve Young at 19:58 !!!
A great running back behind a great lead blocker and a dominating O line. That first drive was incredible. How many times in recent seasons have the cowboys been playing catch up .. at home. Hopefully with change at HC things will be different
The thing I remember most from watching this game live, is Bernie Kosar had something left in the tank. JJ picked him to be backup to Aikman, and good thing Coach Johnson did that. On the 5th TD drive, Kosar burned the 49ers blitz and Alvin Harper cashed in for the TD. When I see the highlight nowadays, I realize that Harper's catch was not nearly as close to being an INT as was Dwight Clark's catch over Everson Walls in 1981
@@jeffalbillar7625 From memory, EW was the first rookie to lead the league in ints, and the only player to lead the league in ints three straight years. He was one of my favorites too
@@nevergonnabesilent yes. I have always wondered why woodson has never gotten the credit he deserves. He was actually a very physical and humble player. We couldn't have gotten those titles without him
49ers cowboys of the 90s was the best rivalry ever. 49ers reloaded their defense to beat Dallas the following year. Miss apex uniforms. Apex made great stuff.
Why? They got hammered. Maybe the 92 game but not this one. I knew when the lost to Philly and ATLANTA late in the season they had no shot in this one.
Might have been the single best game the Triplets-era Cowboys ever played considering the stakes and the competition. The 49ers were NFL royalty in those days and this was one of the VERY few times they ever looked like they didn't belong on the same field with another team. Dallas simply wiped the floor with them.
I grew up looking forward to Sunday’s and watching Tom Landry and Rodger Staubach winning football games, I loved watching Jimmie Johnson’s cowboys in the nineties, those were wonderful days, but thanks to Jerry Jones and his incompetence at running a football team, I can no longer bear to watch a Cowboys game, cannot remember the last game I watched, thanks for nothing Jerry.
Pretty sad, isn’t it? And there is no bright spot on the horizon, they are eventually gonna pay Dak Prescott way too much money to afford any quality players to put around him, look forward to ten more years of mediocrity.
For all those that say Emmitt was an average back with a great o line, look at how many yards after catch and contact he gets, with no linemen anywhere near, with power AND agility, against a top notch defense. Big part of the reason they won this game and many others. MVP caliber player for 6 to8 years in a row. Durabilty, accountabilty, one of the toughest players to ever suit up. Cowboys championship teams absoluteley relied on him week after week. Zero character issues, leader in the locker room of one of the greatest teams. Only a handful of RBs in the same league.
Jimmy built the Dolphins a real defense but couldn't get the offense he wanted. He wanted to fire Marino and get a powerful qb rb combo with the money saved like he'd built at the COwboys but the DOlphin bosses wouldn't allow it.
If we are looking back at 30 year old NFL games and remembering the NFC was either the Cowboys or Niners, it says a lot of the NFL today! No NFL team today would come close to these two teams back then!
That game was over in the second quarter The Cowboys went up and down the field that entire 2nd quarter and the 49ers couldn't stop them. The 49ers went all out in free agency especially on defense to beat the Cowboys the next year. On defense, the 49ers got Ricky Jackson, Deion Sanders, Gary Plummer, Richard Dent, Charles Mann, Ken Norton Jr and on offense got Ed McCaffery, Bart Oates. That's the extreme the 49ers went out just to beat the Cowboys.
Funny thing was Sa Fran almost lost to Dallas in 94. They got 3 turnovers in the 1st 7 minutes and lead 21-0 from that point on Dallas out scored them 28-17 the rest of the way
redmustang04 redmustang04: It's so true. The 49ers had to manipulate the salary cap in order to sign all those defensive studs. Had 'Prime Time' been called for PI on Michael Irvin, who knows how that game may have turned out?
Not ashamed to say this,but these great Cowboys teams spoiled us!!!! Greatest that will never be seen or experienced again due to the ignorance and stupidity of Jerry Jones!!!!
Damn, these teams were both so good at this time. I forgot that Aikman didn't finish this game. Still mad that Switzer screwed up the next season and let the Niners beat them. Should have been four rings in a row.
We get it… You and literally every single fucking cowboy fan seems to think you are the first one to ever mention how they could’ve won four in a row… We fucking get it already dude it was thirty fucking years ago.
They were still really good in 1994 and 95 and after a rough start they were still really good in 96 too. I've rewatched a lot of Cowboys games since starting this channel and have realized just how good they were under Switzer for those couple years. They did fall off after 97. Defense was the biggest reason for the downfall IMO.
Jerry Jones took a 5 time Super Bowl championship team and turned them into a 3 time Super Bowl Championship team. And very nearly blowing the 1993 team refusing to pay Emmitt what he was worth.
Hard to beat how great it felt to beat the Niners at their place the year before, but that game was down to the wire. This game, we kicked the living crap out of Frisco. Would have even worse if Troy hadn't gotten hurt.
Amazing how good that Dallas O line was against what was a VERY good D line. I am a believer in evolution, atleast in terms of athletics lol. Football players, in particular, are bigger, faster, and stronger, but I do think Dallas' 92 or 93 team is in the convo of greatest of all time. Balance on both sides of the football. They and that 89 49ers team is the best ive ever seen.
That was the greatest cowboy team I have ever seen back in the day cowboys was beating every team back then I would never forget that game between the 49ers and the cowboys it was a good game but cowboys went to the super bowl and won against Buffalo bills 52 -17
The Niners lost that game as soon as they decided they needed to get in the Cowboys’ face in pregame. That’s the sign of a team that knows they aren’t good enough.
The worst thing in Cowboy history is when Jerry Jones thought he knew better than coach Jimmy Johnson, just because he was more popular than the "OWNER". Wise money making" not Wise being humble enough to get rid of his selfishness. So, NOW we have nothing. The Cowboys are only a shadow of where they should be just because of arrogance, pride, and selfishness. Thanks. Jerry Jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charles Haley wasn’t that good...he had the best offensive line in NFL history...imagine if TJ Watt played with that offensive line...(please note the sarcasm here) Emmitt is the GOAT...
Not sure if it's in the vid above or not, but John Madden said in this broadcast the 1st half Cowboys might have been the best he'd seen any team play, ever.
To bad I’m to young to have witnessed this cowboy team, all I grew up with is Jerryatric Jones doing everything he could to make the cowboys barely a mediocre team.
Troy was one of the best of his era and Emmitt by talent was certainly in top 5 runners ever imo. A great OL will help anyone's stats. How much more productive would the likes of OJ Simpson Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, or Adrian Peterson have been working behind that?
Cassius71 he was Hall of Fame bound before he crashed his car into the wall on Central Expressway. We can only imagine what it would’ve been to have a healthy Williams and Allen in their primes on that line.
@@joerules829 Man, that would've an amazing side of a line on what was already, arguably, the best OL ever. Erik Williams and Dwight Stephenson -- in their respective primes -- were the most dominant OL I've ever seen.
I remember this as if was yesterday. Distinctly remember thinking that Madden had jinxed Aikman when he said that Aikman was gonna have a clean jersey that day. 🤔 I mean technically Aikman's jersey did stay clean just not his head.
Alvin Harper made a huge mistake by taking more money to go to Tampa Bay the following season. Had he stayed in Dallas, he had all the potential to become a Hall of Famer as well, along with Irving, Aikman and Emmitt. But greed always gets the best of us. I hope he at least invested his Tampa money well. Otherwise, we never heard from him again. More money but no legacy.
The only game during the 49ers masterful run of excellence (81, 83-98) that they looked completely outclassed. They had NO SHOT. Truly shocking. Basically, cause the Niners was mediocre. This looked like one of those Oklahoma vs Kansas annihilations. Had Aikman not gotten hurt Dallas goes for 50+ here, maybe even 60 if Jimmy had wanted to rub it in.
Jim Jeffcoat and Jimmie jones dont get enough credit for there play in those big games. They would not be denied. salute to them.

If we are looking back at 30 year old NFL games and remembering the NFC was either the Cowboys or Niners, it says a lot of the NFL today! No NFL team today would come close to these two teams back then!
That game was over in the second quarter The Cowboys went up and down the field that entire 2nd quarter and the 49ers couldn't stop them. The 49ers went all out in free agency especially on defense to beat the Cowboys the next year. On defense, the 49ers got Ricky Jackson, Deion Sanders, Gary Plummer, Richard Dent, Charles Mann, Ken Norton Jr and on offense got Ed McCaffery, Bart Oates. That's the extreme the 49ers went out just to beat the Cowboys.
I always forget McCaffrey was on the 94 niners and won a ring before the 2 he won in denver. Giants are stupid for letting him go!
Funny thing was Sa Fran almost lost to Dallas in 94. They got 3 turnovers in the 1st 7 minutes and lead 21-0 from that point on Dallas out scored them 28-17 the rest of the way
And SF cheated the salary cap to do it. Had the PI call been made against Deion SF would have lost the 94 NFC Championship game too.
redmustang04 redmustang04: It's so true. The 49ers had to manipulate the salary cap in order to sign all those defensive studs. Had 'Prime Time' been called for PI on Michael Irvin, who knows how that game may have turned out?
@@markpalmieri7322 : Exactly!
The cowboys were so disciplined under johnson
Great uploads "Much Appreciated"! And please keep them coming... Peace..
Not ashamed to say this,but these great Cowboys teams spoiled us!!!! Greatest that will never be seen or experienced again due to the ignorance and stupidity of Jerry Jones!!!!
Jone’s arrogance keeps the Cowboys from ever winning a Super Bowl ever again
Damn, these teams were both so good at this time. I forgot that Aikman didn't finish this game. Still mad that Switzer screwed up the next season and let the Niners beat them. Should have been four rings in a row.
We get it… You and literally every single fucking cowboy fan seems to think you are the first one to ever mention how they could’ve won four in a row… We fucking get it already dude it was thirty fucking years ago.
@@evilsWa Sour Grapes much?
Great teams with J Johnson and downhill after he left. Don’t mess with a well oiled machine!
They were still really good in 1994 and 95 and after a rough start they were still really good in 96 too. I've rewatched a lot of Cowboys games since starting this channel and have realized just how good they were under Switzer for those couple years. They did fall off after 97. Defense was the biggest reason for the downfall IMO.
@@classicsports5057 their defense took them to the playoffs in 96 or 97.
Also their kicker boniol.
The Cowboys and 49ers will meet in the postseason this Sunday on CBS for the first time since this game.
Jerry Jones took a 5 time Super Bowl championship team and turned them into a 3 time Super Bowl Championship team. And very nearly blowing the 1993 team refusing to pay Emmitt what he was worth.
Hard to beat how great it felt to beat the Niners at their place the year before, but that game was down to the wire. This game, we kicked the living crap out of Frisco. Would have even worse if Troy hadn't gotten hurt.
Amazing how good that Dallas O line was against what was a VERY good D line.
I am a believer in evolution, atleast in terms of athletics lol. Football players, in particular, are bigger, faster, and stronger, but I do think Dallas' 92 or 93 team is in the convo of greatest of all time. Balance on both sides of the football. They and that 89 49ers team is the best ive ever seen.
Was that field ever completely dry?
It sweated like Leon Lett's butt : )
@@troywm1016 Erik Williams as well by kickoff big boys had sweaty butt cheeks
These were the happiest days of my life ❤
This reminds me of sportstalk football on genesis
"..-How about them Cowboys?!!!"
This Cowboys defense was just as good as the offense, I think they get overlooked for just how good they where.
I agree. Jimmy was brilliant at building aggressive defenses. When he quit and the 49ers grabbed Norton it was all over.
@@ingurlund9657 Deion Sanders was the true difference.
The last time the cowboys won it all. Been waiting on that 6th super bowl win since then.
They beat the Steelers 2 years later to win number 5.
That was the greatest cowboy team I have ever seen back in the day cowboys was beating every team back then I would never forget that game between the 49ers and the cowboys it was a good game but cowboys went to the super bowl and won against Buffalo bills 52 -17
The Niners lost that game as soon as they decided they needed to get in the Cowboys’ face in pregame. That’s the sign of a team that knows they aren’t good enough.
This was when the cowboys were great
The worst thing in Cowboy history is when Jerry Jones thought he knew better than coach Jimmy Johnson, just because he was more popular than the "OWNER". Wise money making" not Wise being humble enough to get rid of his selfishness. So, NOW we have nothing. The Cowboys are only a shadow of where they should be just because of arrogance, pride, and selfishness. Thanks. Jerry Jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great throw by Aikman @ 7:31. If that's off at all.....he's picked.
This was the game NFL game on CBS before it moved to FOX
As Mike Lupica once said.... The Cowboys were 7 nightmare minutes away from 4 super bowl wins in a row.
Mike lied to you.
Charles Haley wasn’t that good...he had the best offensive line in NFL history...imagine if TJ Watt played with that offensive line...(please note the sarcasm here) Emmitt is the GOAT...
TJ Watt is trash compared to Charles Haley.
Dallas spanking the whiners. Whiners never had a chance to beat Dallas with jimmy there
No kidding. Good thing Jerry Jones could mess everything up...for the next 30 years
Great editing. Thank you.
Got to have a whole lot of respect for coache Johnson for keeping Jeffcoat an Bates around to get a super bowl ring
BEST TEAM IN FOOTBALL EVER. PATRIOTS WOULD NOT STAND A CHANCE.
No team has came close to what the pats have established,dude stop it Dallas would not have just dominated them are you serious?
OMG Jimmy is a little panda from ' StarWars ' movie so cuddlily and cherubic cute.
Se extraña a Jimmy Johnson el si era un verdadero entrenador.
Pero lo que no tenemos es un dueño inteligente.
Flag at 22:48 was Total BS! Young slid head first, therefore hitting him was legal. Cowboys still kicked ass!
Watch Erik Williams' side of the line. Big E deserves to be in the HoF. It's a shame he was a right tackle.
He was never the same after the car accident he would have not long after this
Im a Giants fan but even I can recognize an NFC east beat down...
Giants did it a lot
And thank you!
The real Super Bowl
Not sure if it's in the vid above or not, but John Madden said in this broadcast the 1st half Cowboys might have been the best he'd seen any team play, ever.
When you have a great running back and a patient QB...air coryell is a great offense.
To bad I’m to young to have witnessed this cowboy team, all I grew up with is Jerryatric Jones doing everything he could to make the cowboys barely a mediocre team.
The difference between these champs and the cowboys of today, was that these players werent greedy....they all made money, and won a championship.....
Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith were overrated. Yeah, right.
oh pls,,let it go.
Troy was one of the best of his era and Emmitt by talent was certainly in top 5 runners ever imo. A great OL will help anyone's stats. How much more productive would the likes of OJ Simpson Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, or Adrian Peterson have been working behind that?
AND YOU ARE AN EAGLES FAN.
@@voiwoden1 I’m an Eagles fan this team could have won 4-5 Super Bowls if wasn’t for Jerry’s MASSIVE ego.
@@allengreene9954 AGREE. I JUST DID NOT AGREED WITH THE TROY AND EMMITH COMMENT.
Oh the good old days 🤔 all things must come to and end
At 2:09 Erik Williams pushed Ted Washington so hard that when he landed on his plant foot he broke his leg.
Big E was my favorite player
E. Williams had heavy hands and a devastating punch as an OL. He was the best OL in the game before his car accident.
Cassius71 he was Hall of Fame bound before he crashed his car into the wall on Central Expressway. We can only imagine what it would’ve been to have a healthy Williams and Allen in their primes on that line.
@@joerules829 Man, that would've an amazing side of a line on what was already, arguably, the best OL ever. Erik Williams and Dwight Stephenson -- in their respective primes -- were the most dominant OL I've ever seen.
The cowboys were the best team in NFL, the 49ers were #2. I enjoy the rivalry. Staubach vs. Montana. Dallas by 3, O/U 54
They will not ever win a superbowl again
I remember this as if was yesterday. Distinctly remember thinking that Madden had jinxed Aikman when he said that Aikman was gonna have a clean jersey that day. 🤔 I mean technically Aikman's jersey did stay clean just not his head.
Best play of the game how bout them cowboys
Bernie to the rescue
Now that’s great football, well coached and executed. Almost mistake free
Alvin Harper made a huge mistake by taking more money to go to Tampa Bay the following season. Had he stayed in Dallas, he had all the potential to become a Hall of Famer as well, along with Irving, Aikman and Emmitt. But greed always gets the best of us. I hope he at least invested his Tampa money well. Otherwise, we never heard from him again. More money but no legacy.
"Put it in 3 inch headlines....." lol. Awesome!!!!
Came here to watch Bernie Kosar help the Cowboys hang on after Aikman got knocked out.
This game was over in the 2nd quarter.
The only game during the 49ers masterful run of excellence (81, 83-98) that they looked completely outclassed.
They had NO SHOT. Truly shocking.
Basically, cause the Niners was mediocre.
This looked like one of those Oklahoma vs Kansas annihilations.
Had Aikman not gotten hurt Dallas goes for 50+ here, maybe even 60 if Jimmy had wanted to rub it in.
Mediocre teams don't get to the NFC Championship. Sir, you don't understand football. Sorry to inform you.
Come again? Frisco definitely was NOT mediocre. They were, at absolute worst, the third best NFL team that year and very probably the 2nd best.
bigpapasmurf Z: I agree. Aside from when the Giants trounced them in '86, I never saw SF so thoroughly dominated!
Nah 86 vs the giants we got stomped the fuck out. 87 vs Minnesota. 90 vs the giants
@@jplaya2023 Cowboys if Troy didn't get hurt and if they didn't take their foot off the gas pedal, probably could put up 50 on these guys.
Emmitt with over a 100 yards from scrimmage in the 1st quarter 😳
