If you think about it, the 1990s were a redemption for past Cowboys failures. They beat the Steelers in a Super Bowl. They went back-to-back. They beat the 49ers who a decade ago usurped them. They beat Green Bay who denied them the chance to appear in at least one of the first two Super Bowls. The final game of this broadcasting duo: Super Bowl XXXVI, the beginning of the Patriots regime…

The NFL before social media.... isn't it glorious?

The 1994 49ers were one of the best teams of the 90's, but IMO, if this Cowboy team played against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, the Cowboys would have completed the 3-peat. Unfortunately, the Cowboys were a M.A.S.H. unit going into the 1994 NFC Championship Game whereas as SI writer Rick Telander pointed out, the 49ers were, "healthy as kittens." The Cowboys played their guts out in the NFC Championship Game, but unlike the claims leveled by revisionist historians, it was not a surprise that the Cowboys lost that game. The facts are that the 49ers were 7 point favorites, they were playing at home, and they had beaten a healthier Cowboys squad in Week 11 of the 1994 regular season. One could argue that this victory over the Steelers was the Cowboys most impressive regular season performance of the 1994 season.
