It doesn't get much better than this on Divisional Playoff Weekend; two of the most tradition-rich NFL franchises squaring off for a record-tying ninth time in the playoffs.
But what makes this game most intriguing is a playoff rivalry that goes back more than a half century and one that coincides with the greatest eras of each of these franchises. The Cowboys beat the 49ers in the playoffs three straight years in the 70s, leading to their first two Super Bowl appearances in 1970 and 71. The moniker"Captain Comeback" was born when Roger Staubach came off the bench to throw two touchdown passes in the final two minutes to win 30-28 in San Francisco in 1972.
And then Jimmy Johnson coached the Cowboys to two straight conference championship wins over San Francisco in the 90s. Jimmy popularized the phrase"How 'Bout Them Cowboys" with those wins.
