Bill Walsh was right stating, "If Jerry & Jimmy think they're gonna have the same success without each other, they're wrong". 26 years later neither has had the same success.
Bill was a genius.
It ended up being true. Switzer was good really in 1994 & 1995 with the Cowboys before they lost to Carolina in the Divisional round in 1996 & went 6-10 in 1997. Parcells tried to get them back to the Super Bowl & Jason Garrett tried a couple times or so to get them there, but they ended up not getting even to the NFC Championship game. Jimmy Johnson ended up going to the Miami Dolphins and basically went out with a whimper as Jacksonville beat Miami in Marino's last game as Dolphins QB in January 2000 by a final score of 62-7. I think that was Jimmy Johnson's last game as a head coach as well. So, Bill Walsh ended up being right after all. Jerry Jones really messed up big time with basically firing Jimmy Johnson because of their egos, especially Jerry's getting out of hand.
@@damienwhited87 Jerry didn't fired him. Jimmy had a 10 "year contract
This is what happens when two super egos both want control.
@@georgesouthwick7000 Honestly I think Jimmy was getting tired of the work he had to put in.
Who’s here because this matchup is finally happening after 27 years between the cowboys vs 49ers🏈
The Cowboys will win the ball game. Put it in bold lettering fine ink. We will win the ball game Sunday!!!
Oh yeah I here just like I was in the 90 s
Me, IM READY FOR TOMORROW
Go Cowboys 🤠🤠
49ERS BABY!!!
49ers: "Let's do the dumbest move in history, and give Charles Haley to our arch nemesis." Jerry Jones: "Hold my beer and watch this... Jimmy, you're fired."
heyIMsofaKINGcool lmao!!
23 years later...49ers: Lets do the dumbest thing ever and fire the best head coach we have had in the past 20 years!
Eric Cartman lol
heyIMsofaKINGcool hell yeah appreciate it
Eric Cartman The rivalry lives on to this day
The 49ers biggest mistake was not the fact they traded Charles Haley. It was that they traded him to the Cowboys.
matsugo24 WOW I never thought about that! $$$$$ Statement!
This was the result of '49er greed'. They believed that Jimmy Johnson's ego would net the 49ers the biggest haul since it was no secret throughout the NFL about Charles Haley's issues.
Well said. That was a HUGE mistake on their part
@vitoduval interesting. Not far fetched at all, but it would have to be that combined with the winning.
Agreed. They had to get rid of him.
Today's kids will never know of the greatest rivalry in the NFL that was the 49ers vs cowboys.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
Yes you right 49ers vs cowboys faced each other 7 times inside a championship game the most in NFL history it is considered the real Superbowl by sports illustrated
I’m so lucky to be old enough to remember the 80s and 90s Cowboys 49ers rivalry. Nothing better! Go 49ers!
Not never know of the greatest rivalry in the NFL. /
It damn sure was. Back to the 80s. I grew up watching the Cowboys play them what seemd like every NFC championship.
I am a raiders fan but growing up in California as a Nineties kid, I look back in sweet nostalgia on those cowboy and 49ers games. This would always be the greatest nfc rivalry in my eyes.
Sitizen Kane tell me about it. I can't remember which year it was, but I quit my job because they wouldn't change my shift so I could watch the game. 😂😂 Only one match up could make me do that... Cowboys-49ers
Absolutely. Legendary times!
@@PeanutsandPopcorn Wow, that was mighty brave of you at the time but you won't have to quit your job now a days. You can watch games online or tape it on DVR now. Lol
Sitizen Kane I used to hand off the ball to Raiders number 26 in high school. His last name is Kaufman.
Sitizen Kane Best Rivalry ever, True hatred playing 3 NFC Championships in a row
Born and raised in Dallas.... Born in 1979.... So fortunate to witness the Cowboys dynasty in the early 90s..... Respect to The 49ers..... 10 Lombardi Trophies combined between these 2 Great NFL franchises.
Amen 💯
All i can think watching this is....poor Buffalo
destroyed by the redskins twice as well wouldn't you believe? they had FOUR appearances and lost all of them.
@@donalddeluxe6407 bills should won two
@@darrickspikes5857 I know, but both the niners and the cowboys had the better teams and both are in the same division. during this period, the NFC championship during the early nineties WAS the superbowl. ESPECIALLY 1994 as the peak of this deep rivalry between these two teams.
Lol
there was a 14 year stretch in the NFL where the NFC teams won the Super Bowl starting in 84 with San Francisco over the Dolphins. Many of the AFC teams through that stretch fell to the Defensive and Ground-game philosophy that the NFC coaches carried; i.e. Walsh, Ditka, Parcells, Gibbs, Johnson, Holmgren. Mike Shanahan (a member of Bill Walsh's coaching tree) broke that streak (ironically using Terrell Davis heavily in the backfield.
Another key component of this rivalry Pat Summerall and John Madden calling the regular season and NFC Championship games R.I.P both of them
Young, Aikman, Emitt, Watters, Hailey, Rice, Taylor, Norton Jr, and Sanders. What a great era for the Niners and Cowboys.
never forget Eddie D brought in almost every superstar from other teams to combat the cowboys in 94! Ricky jackson, Saints. Gary Plummer, Chargers. Richard Dent, Bears. Charles Mann, Redskins. Our 4th strings WR was Ed McCaffery!
Don’t forget the playmaker Irvin
1972: Comeback by Staubach 1982: The Catch 2022: The "Slide"
2023... ? lol
@@jasonpdsi purdah effect
we need more rivalries like this
I don't know if there will ever be a rivalry like it, but it made football a love of mines. That rivalry. And, hearing Madden and Summerall call the games.
2000s Patriots and Colts came close
ninjafish bruh ravens steelers, colts pats, pats ravens, are the best we've got
I agree Steelers & Ravens, Pats & Colts, 49ers vs Hawks for a while. I think the Cowboys start it with someone now maybe Pats.
No
Grant Hill will always look 28 years old.
who are yall
idk, but they're nothing compared to the Ravens this year.
Yeah, because he got a little help from his friend Botox.
Lol
Chris Hansen. It's true.
2023 renewal of a playoff rivalry
So, we meet again.
It’s back on
The greatest rivalry, in football history.
LETS GO COWBOYS!!!
Let’s go 49ers!
We are playing again but it won’t be the same
Auston facts!! Different era, players don’t know the rivalry.
@@austonhurt9119 it sure wasn't. Both teams threw up stinkers today. Pitiful showing by my Cowboys 🤍💙
8 Super Bowls between the 2 Teams from 1981 to 1995 says it all. 2 of the Greatest Teams of all time hands down.
Jimmy Johnson is a legend. His football IQ and his ability to see greatness in players not seen by many not to mention his trade strategy was just insane. I have always been a big fan of jimmy Johnson and that era of dallas football
Bill Walsh was better he found harley, lotts, montana, rice and Roger Craig and traded for Steve young. Jimmy traded the number 1 overall pick for Steve Walsh. Cowboys had the number 1 overall pick from 89-91 and drafted Aikman, Steve Walsh and Russell Maryland only one of those pick was a pro bowler
@@xuevang7261 I agree trading for Steve Walsh was a mistake. (Considering Cortez Kennedy and Junior Seau were on the board). But he did steal guys like Emmitt Smith, Mark Stepnoski, Erik Williams, Darren Woodson, Leon Lett, Darrin Smith, Tony Tolbert and Dixon Edwards and plenty of other draft steals.
@@jackduncan5442 Cowboys did get some good picks from the Steve Walsh trade, so I think the whole Walsh/Cowboys saga looks better later on than it did at the time. Still, it was a long story involving some drama, likely more trouble than it was worth.
Do not forget the herschel walker trade to the vikings.one of the first move from johnson.they robbed the vikings.it is a historical trade.
@@zeezeeyoung351 The Hershel Walker trade was the spark that ignited & accelerated the Cowboys rise for sure. Due to Jimmy Johnson trading for EVEN more picks afterward and, most importantly, knowing who to draft was what truly made the trade. Good thing too, since upcoming free agency & Jimmy Johnson's short stay meant that the Cowboys had to get it done while they still had the personnel to do it. I love Colleen 🥰!
Mark my words we will see these teams plays in the NFC Championship Game again one day.
They meet again the rivalry is back
A couple more years of these playoff matchups and we'll need a Part III
Who's watching this in anticipation of Sunday's playoff game??
Me and I’m pumped
I had zero anticipation and was not disappointed. Both teams suck.
Sam Elliott narrating for the boys is awesome. I loved this rivalry you just don't see great ones like that anymore.
its so weird though..... "it always amuses me when California guys try to act Texas tough".... but Sam, you are from SACRAMENTO!.... I guess hes not playing himself?... But regardless, hes the living embodiment of someone taking on a persona well
@@ThorfinnMacbeth Troy Aikman is from California as well. But grew up in Oklahoma on a ranch.
LETS GO FORTYNINERSSSSS RIVALRY REIGNITED. LEGENDARY 70s 80s 90s RIVALRY COMES BACK FULL CIRCLE. RED AND GOLD UNTIL DEAD AND OLD🔴🟡
Who's watching this before the playoffs?
The real cold war in the early 90's
It was the real super bowl 3 years in a row.
Back to back years against the 49ers in the playoffs, LETS GO COWBOYS!!!
Bang Bang Niner Gang 🤣
That '94 Niner team was really special especially in terms of what they were able to do in free agency. Deion Sanders, Rickey Jackson, Richard Dent Bart Oates, Tim McDonald, Tim Harris Charles Mann, Ken Norton & Gary Plummer
The Fine 9 Gold Mine Player$ of 1994-1995
Mercenaries.
Wow. Thats a defensive rework. Deion sanders and rickey jackson alone create unique pressure on opposing qbs add with that Dent and Mann and you are filling out a nice roster
The 1992-1995 Forty Niners AND Cowboys were both two of the greatest teams of all time. In most other eras, that Niner team is the dynasty.
I can't even lie, the 49ers Vs Cowboys game is giving me flashbacks to the early 90's right before my Packers took that next step. Watching the game on Fox and with John Madden (RIP) and Pat Summerall (RIP) calling the game are classic memories before all the rule changes. I can't wait for Sunday 💯
Well get ready buddy cause after the Niners stomp out the Cowboys, Rodgers is up next and then Brady and last but not least Big Ben Roethlisberger, Jimmy G is going to beat all the "legends" consecutively
@@HBK970 Jimmy Garoppolo sucks.
@@HBK970 we saw lol
Always appreciate your enemy. They make you who you are.
The worst decision Jerry Jones made was getting rid of Jimmy Johnson. Johnson built that team, Jones did not. Barry Switzer won a Super Bowl with Jimmy Johnson's men. Barry Switzer and Jerry Jones were not able to retool that team.
That's correct. Switzer was a joke of a football coach. Jerry Jones ruined a good thing.
Marcus Vachon This is 100% true
That's because Jerry wanted to be the GM, the president, and president of football operations. And his team hasn't had any success ever since.
Jerry has a ton of blame to bear, and it’s his ineptitude that has led to 22 years of futility. That said, even Jimmy has admitted that he had planned to resign that spring regardless because he was just burnt out from going 180 miles an hour for 5 years. I think the incident at the owner’s meetings simply gave him a way to exit without having to look like a quitter.
Marcus Vachon we all like to think that the Cowboys would’ve won 4 straight SBs if Jimmy Johnson had remained the head coach. There’s no way he would’ve allowed that team to fall behind 21-0 in the 1st quarter.
49ers vs Cowboys!!!!!! it’s backkkkk
Next weekend the cowboys and 49ers will face off in the first round of the playoffs. Could this rekindle the rivalry? Would be cool.
Helllll yeaaaaaa 49ERS VERSUS COWBOYS AFTER FORTY YEARS THE RIVALRY COMES BACK FULL CIRCLE.
I was crushed in 1972.
Aw heck naw that's ridiculous because these teams don't have the Star power or the Hof coaches or the personalities not even close
@@tablestirne9879 ain't no dam rekindled rivalry what a dumb comment these teams don't have the Star power the personalities dam sure don't have the coaches
What are u smoking with this dumb comment these new teams don't have the stars or the personalities what a frickin dumb comment
And Here we are with 49ers & Cowboys in the Wildcard
Even though the Niners have been back to the Super Bowl, neither the Cowboys or the Niners have won a Super Bowl since the 90's.
I couldn't of cared less.
Cowboy-49er synergy was amazing...
Round 2 of the 2020's in 6 days.
Now the rivalry has finally been renewed!
And now they meet again in the playoffs
Aikman defiantly standing in the pocket all covered in mud with his icy cold stare is the definition of a warrior.
With larry allen on no ankle in 94 nfc title game lol even though he was scary enough
Funny when Sam Elliott talks about how its funny when California boys act Texas tuff. Sam you where born in Sacramento!!!!
greengalaxyfire if he’s a Cowboys fan bring from Sac, then he’s a damn traitor
You clearly don’t read sarcasm well, poking fun at himself as a cowboys fan from Sacramento.
Sam is actually a 9ers fan
FALKOR IS HERE Oh I do, and can joke right back...lol
I assume he's narrating somebody else's words; he's not reading as "Sam Elliot" he's just the *voice* they chose (likely because of his status as an actor famous for being in westerns and playing... wait for it, Cowboys).
Here cause we adding another game to this classic rivalry this upcoming Sunday 😭💯 GO 🤠!!!
This matchup best of wild card weekend
Yup
Ready to renew the rivalry for the 2022 playoffs!!! Go Niners!
000000
go niners
Go cowboys
2021 playoffs this is still the 2021 season
My family and I moved to America in the early 80s to the Bay Area. From that point on when we learned about football we hated the cowboys and still do. 49ers forever.
Grant Hill was such an amazing person, its too bad he got hurt and his NBA career wasn't all that it could have been.
There will never be another era of football like this again!!!
The 49ers and cowboys have played each other in the playoffs the last 2 years so the rivalry has been renewed
Watching this before the 49ers and Cowboys this weekend 😤
🥳🥳🥳 LETS GET IT THE DICE WILL ROLL THE SKY WILL ROAR AND 49ERS AND COWBOYS WILL REIGNITE A 40 YEAR OLD RIVALRY.
Great game today! Brought back memories from the 80s and 90s
Anyone watching this ahead of the wildcard game this weekend?
Alot of young people don't even know the early 70's 49ers with John Brodie at QB were very good and lost to the Cowboys in the NFC title game 2 years in a row.
The Niners lost to the Cowboys in three straight playoffs. The NFC Championship games in 1970 & 1971 and the divisional playoff in 1972. After the 1972 loss, the Niners weren't relevant for almost a decade.
True. And then returned the favor in '81, and the Cowboys weren't relevant for the next decade!
@@SFforlife Well Dallas did win the East in 85, and they were in the Championship in 82, and I recall that SF didn't even make the playoffs.
You're not really going to compare 80's Cowboys and the 80's Niners, are you? It's a losing proposition for Dallas fans.
@@jackduncan5442 what? You’re a loser
Here we go again !!!
The Niners beating the Cowboys last night is quite possibly the most satisfying thing to come out of January for me.
I wish this rivalry was still a thing
They're scheduled for 2020 let's get it on
@@michaelleroy9281 🤡🤡
@@blackmantis3130 we beat them wdym
Looks like there's a strong possibility they play in the playoffs coming up!
@@cameronriddle109 interesting
And so it continues this Sunday! All different players, coaches, even uniforms. Can’t wait!
I agree the rivalry should be reborn to much hugging and love today
I love how the Niners and Cowboys absolutely HATED each other. There was always a fight.
Iron bowl friggen level
Realign the NFL and put them in the same division twice a year baby!
Giving away Haley and when their triplets starting consistently delivering...Smith, Irvin, Aikman...that's when they took the throne. The NFC Championship Game...I remember it like it was yesterday. I was so sick. I was probably one of few kids in NJ, a Giants die hard area that was a Niners fan. My stepfather was a Cowboys fan. It was one of the few times I actually felt sick after that loss. In SF. Didn't go away until they won the SB between theirs and signed Deion.
+Rubin Turner: You're from NJ, I'm from Texas!! Born and raised, and still live here. And I'm a Niners fan...always have, always will. But I hear you buddy....I too felt sick after that loss in '92 and it didn't go away after that '94 SB. To this day, I feel that this loss is the biggest loss in Niners history, even more so than a few years prior when Craig fumbled and they lost to the Giants and failed to three-peat.
I'm born and raised in Oakland and a diehard Giants fan, crazy world.
I’m a Jersey Boy too, and also a die hard Niners Fan who remembers this like yesterday. Sick ain’t even the half of it! I’m down South Jersey, tho, in Eagles Country.
CastleBravo......1991 NFC Championship Game between the Giants and 49ers was a beautiful contest and was more significant because it de-railed the train that was the 49er dynasty. the first meeting that season between the 2 teams saw the 49ers win 7-3 in a defensive masterpiece. Leonard Marshall turned Joe Montana into Humpty Dumpty. Erik Howard destroyed any hope Roger Craig had of making the Hall Of Fame when he caused that fumble that LT recovered. Gary Reasons' run for 30 yards on the fake punt return when the 49ers had 10 men on the field. The 49er front office should have never let Bill Walsh retire. Seifert wasn't cut from the same cloth.
We go again
These teams were so loaded it came down to individual superstars to push one over the other. Look at the legends that played for both clubs - Charles Haley, Ken Norton, Jr., and Deion Sanders. Absolute gamesmanship between two of the most storied teams in football and two of the owners with the deepest pockets. 80-95 was probably my favorite era of football.
This is the best rivalry even if it’s a younger rivalry compared to the packers vs bears. Easily the 49ers and cowboys have the biggest fanbases outside of their states, and they both have 5 Super Bowls. Hard to argue against that and the fact that they have two beautiful uniforms. 🔶🔴🏉
Without a doubt, it’s the best playoff rivalry of all time!
Packers and Bears are a joke. Hasn't been relevant for decades.
One of the best rivalries in nfl HISTORY
This rivalry is amazing between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers
One of the rivalries I wish I got to see live. I was born in 94 so I missed it, but I watched enough documentaries to see how exciting it was.
Damn You missed so verrrrrrrry gooooood football that was the superbowl game when they use to face off in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME everyone knew winner automatically would win the superbowl that's the reason the NFL started scheduling these kind of games in the middle or near the end of the season so both teams would be at best heading into the playoffs like how they used to put the Pat's vs Colts or Brady vs Manning in late November
Should have put the 1996 game in there aswell. Both teams were still SB contenders that year, just not the clear cut two best teams in the league anymore.
The Deion and Jerry Jones Commercial is one of the BEST EVER!!
I like how CBKevin Smith who was really injured that year played the gipper
Can't wait for this Sunday!!
This is the greatest NFC playoff rivalry of all time!! Its also one of the best NFL rivalries because both are the epitome of great NFL franchises.
Giants-49ers is better
@@TL2354 What the hell rivalry have they had?

@@thegoat164 I think your the one thats a clown.
Colts-Patriots of the 00s doesn't match up to this rivalry. 1990s football is so intriguing
Doesn't match up because the Patriots would always whip the Colts every time.
It was the trifecta of DAL-SF-GB from 1992-98. 1992-94 DAL/ 1995-98 GB. And in both eras, the Niners remained consistent.
It was only a rivalry because of Brady and Manning after those 2 there isn't much
Rilvalry renewed this Sunday Go Cowboys
This video gets me so hyped for football! From a time when I fell in love with the sport. The BEST times.
have to laugh, the narrator , Sam Elliot talks like he is from Texas, meanwhile he is from Sacramento California lmao

@@TheLocalLt Yep, and Redding, Fresno, Stockton, Bakersfield, San Bernadino... pretty much most of the state, especially up & down I-5. lol
It's true, most people think of Hollywood and surf and sand when it comes to CA, a lot of people don't realize most of the state is fairly rural and just how many ranches and farms there are.
@@ivrott9881 Renner is from Modesto, between SF & Frenso.
I was a kid when this all happened and loved the rivalry, but I don't remember it being so intense! But I hope I get to see that kind of intense rivalry again.
I was a kid too and remember this rivalry well. Loved the 49ers, hated but respected the Cowboys. And yes, there was always tension between the two (it was war). I was crushed when Charles Haley got traded to the Cowboys but didn't know at the time that he didn't want to leave San Francisco but was forced to go. Glad to now hear Eddie (the owner) admit it was his worst mistake.Then I rejoiced when the Niners got Ken Norton Jr from Dallas and acquired Deion. Then once again I was disappointed when Deion backstabbed the Niners to join the Cowboys! It seemed like one bizarre rollercoaster ride and then after '95, both teams weren't the same. What a crazy time this was.
27:55 its amazing that deion slipped and still had the makeup speed to get back in perfect position
poopstainhotdog1 its PI all day long
But the ball was underthrown as you can see Sanders collide with Irvin. If Aikman had thrown it a longer distance Sanders wouldn't have been in position to disrupt the play. Sanders turned his head just as he stuck his arm across Irvin's chest so in the referee's eyes he was playing the ball. Aikman screwed up the throw.
byrongammon byrongammon, given that all the commentators were saying it was overthrown at the time, and people still think Michael would have had to reach too far to make the catch (which is baloney, he made catches like that all the time) I don’t think it was on Troy. Deion did two things that were PI, then and now; first he slammed into Irvin, throwing him off stride, and second he arm barred him, both holding down his arms and restricting his ability to run, and no amount of looking back for the ball is ever supposed to override that kind of activity.
David Gregory.....if what you assert is true....then why didn’t the referee make the PI call? Huge blunder in a game of this magnitude. Maybe Deion got by on the vapors of his reputation.
Are you suggesting that you've never seen the official's make a big blunder in a big game? Of course it was a huge blunder! It happens, and that day, it happened at one of the most crucial junctures of the game.
Whos here after its confirmed there facing eatch other in the playoffs
To me, as a Cowboys fan, the most interesting tidbit in this doc, is Jimmy asking Deion to not forget about him when it came time to choosing his destination in 1994. We have heard since from Jimmy that he got bored in places, and would have left Dallas, maybe even as soon as he ended up doing. What he said to Deion, on the sidelines of his second Superbowl win, in what was his LAST game as Cowboys head coach, disproves all of that. He wouldnt have said that to Deion if he hadnt planned on coming back ATLEAST that next year, so whatever happened at that celebration dinner with Jerry, was the reason he left big D, and in my opinion, what was to be the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Man, it hurts as a Cowboys fan, because I think we threepeat in 1994 if Jimmy stays, and end up winning four in a row when we beat Pittsburgh the year after. Jerry DID fire him in my opinion now. Jimmy agreed to it, but he didnt quit. Such a waste. It always pisses me off when you see situations like that, where LIFE IS GREAT, and dumb egos cause men to take it for granted, blow up something beautiful, and NEVER achieving the same success as they had together. A lot like great rock bands splitting up, and ending up playing at State Fairs, because they were nowhere near as good as solo acts. And what have we received as Cowboys fans since Jimmy was run out of town, with a LOADED roster? One Superbowl win where we really didnt play well enough to win, if not for Neil O Donnell gifting us the championship with two awful throws, and almost THIRTY EFFING YEARS of mediocrity.
I just wanted to thank my Parents for having me in 1982 so I was able to see this at a age were I remember all of it …Go Niners 💪
I am a forty plus year 49er fan. I have to give a ton of credit to the Cowboys. We made a major mistake trading Haley to them, but the key was all the draft picks from the Walker trade and using them as well as they did. It was one hell of a rivalry.
It was what they did with the draft picks.
Charles Haley came back to the Niners about 5 years after he went to the Cowboys
This was back when rivalries felt truly authentic. I remember watching them in the 80's and 90's and how many fights these teams would get into BEFORE the game and AFTER the games. It was insane the hate they had for each other.
Her we are again, 1/13/22. Three days before this rivalry is renewed in the playoffs. Let's gooo!! "How bout them Cowboys!!"
THEY WILL NEVER WIN WITH JERRY JONES AT THE HELM. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN????
Greatest short term rivalry in NFL history! Deion knew he interfered, so how did he makeup for it, he joined the Cowboys. What a rivalry!
Irvin pushed off every pass play.🤣🤣
This was the top rivalry of the early 90s. Coming in at second was Bills-Dolphins around this time
These teams were also both classy when they were clashing for the NFC title. It was a great time in the NFL.
From 92 thru 95. These 2 teams were so far above the rest of the league. And if it wasn't for 2 games. The 94 nfc title game and the 95 playoff game the 49ers lost to Green bay. Dallas probably would have won 4 superbowls in a row. And both these teams would have faced each other 4 straight times in the Nfc championship game. They dominated the entire league for 4 straight years. That's amazing
Niners v cowboys is the lakers v celtics .this rivalry is legendary.both footballs where dynasty at the sametime .the niners from 80s to 90s .the cowboys build from the bottom to the top fast turn around three yrs
Seeing this rivalry as a child, all those Sunday's on FOX...These guys were my heroes.
Seriously wish that the NFL would do more of these documentaries on other rivalries in the league.
Nothing was greater then this.
@@brayanarias1769 Raiders and Steelers of the 70s was on par.
Like Cowboys/Eagles
Rewatching to get ready for the playoffs!! Go Cowboys!!
Lets go Cowboys!!!!

Cowboys suck.
Top 3 Rivalries in my lifetime: 1. 49ers vs. Cowboys (80s&90s) 2. Ravens vs. Steelers (00s-10s) 3. Seahawks vs. 49ers (10s-current)
Patriots vs. Steelers is up there too. The Patriots have been a thorn in their side for years. I hate the Patriots, but as a Cowboys fan I hate the Steelers just a little more.
Patriots vs Colts was good too
Greatest time in NFL and the greatest rivalry during that time.
COWBOYS, 49ERS, JOHN MADDEN AND PAT SUMMERAL...FOOTBALL AT ITS BEST ALL TIME !!!
This is one of the strongest narrative arcs in all of NFL history; can NFL Films do one on the Cowboys-Steelers rivalry of the 70's?
I'm going to bring up something most of us have forgotten about that unbelievable 1994 season. FOX started broadcasting NFC games that season. The broadcast crews for FOX and NBC did a joint broadcast during the games, where the pregame crews talked to each other about their respective games and the pending Super Bowl. I don't know what it was about that, but there was something so magical about that segment.
Let's bring this RIVALRY BACK!!
Jimmy G is coming!!!
No need to, let the Cowboys sleep in eternal peace.
2019 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FINAL SCORE: DALLAS 10 - 49ERS 21
Nope. The cowboys are the seahawks rivals now
Richard Carr Cowboys won't even make it that far. Jimmy g will lead the miners to titles though. He's been learning from the goat for a couple years now.
The best non-divisional rivalry of all-time.
mcubed.net/nfl/mfpm.shtml
One of the best rivalries ever
Bring back this rivalry, 2022 style!!! lets go 9ers!!!
We are gonna blow these cowgirls out
And here we go again
Fun Fact. Charles Haley absolutely despised Steve Young (Haley was a Montana guy) even when they were teammates on the niners. So looking back, I can only imagine how much joy he felt teeing off on Steve Young as a Cowboy during that rivalry.
