  Watching this game almost makes it difficult to believe The Cowboys would eventually become Bowl Champions later that very season.

  I got up at 3 am, drove to the airport in Cleveland, flew to Dallas and went to this game. I then went back to the airport, flew to Cleveland, drove home and crashed about 24 hours after I got up. I went to work on Monday. I could never do that now, but that was a fun day.

  Had the Cowboys lost this game, the 49ers would have clinched homefield advantage in the playoffs with their win over the Vikings the following night and the Eagles would have had the opportunity to clinch the NFC East with a win in Chicago the following week. That kick by Boniol saved their season and possibly the legacy of the 90s Cowboys.

  I wrote this as the top comment, but at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECfMTAnYtw8&amp;t=1602">26:42</a> that diving catch by Kevin Williams saves the season LITERALLY. &nbsp;Here&apos;s why. &nbsp;If the Giants win that game, the Cowboys would have lost 3 straight. &nbsp;They would NOT have won home field advantage throughout the playoffs even if the 49ers lost in Atlanta. &nbsp;Their momentum would have been killed and even if they beat the Cardinals they would have had to go to Candlestick in the NFC championship. &nbsp;They would have had to beat the Packers in the divisional round. &nbsp;The 49ers would have taken business at home against the Eagles. &nbsp;Either way, here&apos;s what happened because of that Kevin Williams catch. &nbsp;Boniol kicks the field to win the game. &nbsp;The 49ers lose in Atlanta the next Sunday to have &nbsp;5 losses to end the season. The Cowboys fly to Arizona and hear about the news of the 49ers losing. &nbsp; They destroyed the Cardinals on Monday night on Christmas. &nbsp;The Cowboys win home field advantage throughout the playoffs, easily dispatch the Eagles, beat the Packers in the NFC Championship. &nbsp;Then finally, beat the Steelers to win their 5th and as of right now in 2023 their final Super Bowl their 3rd and 4 years.

  Whatta Epic battle between these two NFC East Rivals. Big D didn&apos;t have a great game but came up big when they needed to!

  Great seeing these old games. Two things come to mind, how good was Rodney Hampton and it&apos;s scary how much Daniel Jones looks, plays and reminds me of Dave Brown!

  Cowboys avoided losing three straight games in the division, this would have been disastrous as far as NFC playoff seeding and momentum going into the playoffs.

  While I was watching this clip, on their possession where they had the ball with about 5 minutes remaining, I was like ‘plenty of time for either team to win. They just need to run some clock.’ However, I had forgotten the INT, and that’s why I was so worried/upset at that time, especially by the standards of a middle school student lol.

  I&apos;m a Cowboys fan but some of these officiating calls were BS, such as the PI when the defender merely got in front of Irvin to hamper his route.
