Are the Cowboys 'America's Biggest Tease?'
“Michael Irvin came right up at the end of the game and he was talking about the teams he played for,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said, wistfully recalling the three Super Bowl victories in four years that the Hall of Fame receiver was part of. “He used the analogy of the dog. He said when they put the dog in the hunt, once they’ve tasted that, then they come back.
Dallas vs. San Francisco gave us this: Joe Montana connecting with Dwight Clark for “The Catch” during the 1980s that propelled the 49ers to their first taste of Super Bowl glory. Roger Staubach’s last-minute heroics as part of three consecutive years the Cowboys eliminated the 49ers from the playoffs during the 1970s. Three straight matchups in the NFC Championship Game during the 1990s that morphed into a de facto Super Bowl series.
Still, the reasons why Dallas will be so challenged to redeem itself on Sunday have piled up. The 49ers bring the NFL’s top-ranked defense. Rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has been the NFL’s biggest surprise, efficiently getting the ball into the hands of playmakers like Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
Instead, the Cowboys used a 30-20 victory to signal a changing of the guard in the NFC, the springboard to all of the Super Bowl glory that made them the Team of the ‘90s.
