      Legendary RT Erik Williams got injured in a car accident that year and an inexperienced Larry Allen played in his place on a bad ankle. Made a huge difference in that game imo. With the early turnovers though, Dallas really screwed themselves, but they still made a great game out of it. Emmitt had the bad wheel too I believe. I think with an intact, healthy lineup, Dallas was a better team, but you gotta give it to the Niners, it really came together for them that year.

      the TD pass seconds before halftime shouldn't have happened because they called an absolute bogus PI against Dallas after stopping the niners on third and long giving them a first down and then a TD. It was a simple hand check, and then they don't call a PI on Deon Sanders at the end. Biased officiating all the way.

      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 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.

    ESPN2 once voted this game as the most anticipated non-Super Bowl playoff game of all time. Based on the point differential formula Dallas's expected Win total was 12.3 and San Francisco's was 12.5. These two teams were evenly matched. The game featured a whopping 21 combined Pro Bowlers and an even more whopping 10 combined future Hall of Famers. San Francisco would go up 21-0 within 7 minutes and then Dallas would outscore them 28-17 the rest of the way.

      The game never got closer than 10. The 49ers scored before the half to make it 31-14. Then the cowboys scored first in the 3rd then the 49ers scored and that put them up 38-21 scoring at will on Dallas. Then they chose to sit on the ball for the rest of the game. Listening to aikman irvin or other ex cowboys talk about this game and you get the false narrative that they were close to coming back but they never were. The 49ers owned the cowboys this season.

That no-call Pass Interference by Deion on Michael was the nail in the coffin! Otherwise, I believe, the Cowboys win that game! But nevertheless, this was my favorite time in NFL history. These weren't mere athletes on the field, these were titans. The early-mid 90's was the true Golden Era in NFL History - Aikman, Young, Kelly, Favre, Elway, Moon, Montana, Emmitt, Barry, Irvin, Rice, Reed, Lofton, Rison, Sharpe, and just on and on and on.

    Awe...the good old days for me & my fellow Cowboys fans. We lost this game but put up a good fight. We beat the 49ers the previous 2 years. Hats off to two great teams.

    Dionne Sanders helped Troy up on that 1st interception play. He probably already had it in mind “I may play for the Cowboys next season” or maybe he’s just a class act. Or both

    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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    I miss these days. This was truly an arms race. The pendulum swung ro the Niners’ favor when they got Deion in the offseason and it swung back to Dallas’ the following season. Good ol Candlestick was a mess to play in, both in the 92 and 94 NFC Championship games.
