#24: 1994 NFC Championship Highlights

In case you missed the introduction, for the month of September HMB is counting down the Top 30 Bay Area sports YouTube clips. It's pretty simple: one per day for the entire month, excluding the Oakland A's and Raiders because, well, we don't like them and from their attendance figures, it doesn't seem that many people do either.

Simply NFL Films at its best. They capture the Cowboys' cockiness at the beginning of the game, add in a great shot of Jesse Sapolu himself, and seamlessly integrate Joe Starkey's calls into their highlight reel. After losing the previous two NFC Championship games to the Cowboys, the Niners beat the Cowboys 38-28 to advance and eventually win Super Bowl XXIX.

Said then coach George Seifert after the game:

To shake that damn thing and win this game and to see all the San Franciscans and all the 49er fans, it's special ... I couldn't be more proud to be a San Franciscan than I am right now, believe me.

With a team this stacked carrying unbelievable momentum, the Chargers never had a chance.
