Answer 1

Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers
First met in 1960
19-11-1 Dallas leads series (Dallas leads playoffs 5-2)
Signature moment: While the Cowboys dominated the rivalry in the 1970s and the Niners dominated in the 1980s, both clubs battled for NFC supremacy throughout the 1990s. The Niners won 4 Super Bowls in the 1980s, with quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young, as well as receiver Jerry Rice. The Cowboys would later rise to the top, winning 3 Super Bowls in the 1990s, with quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and receiver Michael Irvin.
The games between these teams, including six NFC Championship games, and three consecutive contests in the early 1990s (won by Dallas in 1992, 1993 and San Francisco in 1994) , always showcased the cream of NFL talent and coaching genius. These were two of the last great teams of the days before the NFL imposed a salary cap, eventually leading to major rebuilding as these franchises had to cope with the new rules.
In the 1970 NFC championship game, Dallas used two touchdowns in the third quarter to take control of a tie game. The Cowboys held on for a 17-10 victory and their first berth in the Super Bowl. It was the last NFL game played at Kezar Stadium, with the 49ers moving to Candlestick Park in 1971.
The two teams met again in the NFC title game in 1971, this time at Texas Stadium. The game turned on a critical error by 49ers quarterback John Brodie, whose ill-advised screen pass deep in his own territory was intercepted by Cowboys defensive end George Andrie to set up a second quarter touchdown. San Francisco never recovered, and Dallas suffocated the 49er offense the rest of the way in a 14-3 victory en route to the world championship in Super Bowl VI.
The rivalry essentially began during the 1972 divisional playoffs, when the 49ers were close to sealing a win against the defending Super Bowl VI Champion Dallas Cowboys. In his earliest come-from-behind moment, Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach came off the bench to relieve rival quarterback Craig Morton to throw two touchdown passes in the last 90 seconds to defeat the 49ers in San Francisco 30-28..
Perhaps the best known game, however, was the 1981 NFC championship game played in Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Joe Montana completed a 6-yard touchdown pass to Dwight Clark with 51 seconds left, to take a 28-27 lead and eventually win the game. Montana's pass was a high and desperate heave as he was about to be forced out of bounds, and Clark made a spectacular leaping grab at the back of the end zone. Clark's catch was captured perfectly by a photographer and placed on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and the play has since been known in NFL lore as simply The Catch and set San Francisco on the path to become the "Team of the 1980s".
A decade later for the 1992 NFC Championship and the right to go to Super Bowl XXVII, in a hard fought battle on the very same field, it was the Cowboys emerging victorious with a 30-20 win against the 49ers cementing themselves as the "Team of the 90s".
In the 2000 season, Terrell Owens, then a member of the San Francisco 49ers, tried to re-ignite an old rivalry between two rebuilding franchises in what was best known as the Star Incident. In a game at Texas Stadium, Owens, after scoring a 2nd touchdown, ran out to midfield as he did the previous TD and posed on the Cowboys' star logo, before being blasted off of the Cowboys logo by former safety George Teague. In an instant, he became public enemy number one in Dallas, but ironically, 6 years later, he is currently a Dallas Cowboy and was quoted that he will now embrace the star.

Answer 2

what????. Stay away from Football sweetie. And tell your friend to do the same. The only team that kept the Cowboys from dominating the 90's completely was the 49ers. Cowboys still came out on top with 3 Super Bowls to one for the 49ers. The used to played each other in the NFC championship game almost every year in the 90's, and that was pretty much the best game of the season. That was the Real Super Bowl. Just like now days it is pretty much between the AFC Championship game teams.

Answer 3

Pretty good history lesson there in negaduck's comments...

Both teams, of course, have each own five Super Bowls, with the Cowboys winning two in the 1970s and three in the 1990s... the 49ers won 4 in the 1980s and 1 in the 1990s.

Deion Sanders helped the 49ers to a Super Bowl victory in 1994 (over the Chargers) , and the next year, Sanders helped lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory (over the Steelers).

Answer 4

I am an avid 9er fan, they stink . The 'boys are playing well and there is no way SF will beat them right now, in the 80's it was always either the 49ers or the Cowboys in the Superbowl. The 49er's beat Dallas in the 81 championship game in the final seconds of the game, Montana to Clark...49ers went on to win the 1st of 5 superbowls for that decade.

Answer 5

You should have been there in the 90's. The Cowboys and 49ers went back and forth. They both won some excellent games. Most of the games are considered classics. Just keep an eye on ESPN, they run classic contests all the time.

Answer 6
