Before the game, Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson famously guaranteed that his team would win the game
The Cowboys jumped to a 28-7 halftime lead by scoring four touchdowns
in their first five possessions. Dallas took the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards
to score on running back Emmitt Smith's 5-yard touchdown.
Early in the second quarter, the 49ers tied the game on quarterback Steve Young's
7-yard touchdown pass to running back Tom Rathman.
But then the Cowboys scored 3 unanswered touchdowns before halftime:
Running back Daryl Johnston's 4-yard run, Smith's 11-yard reception from
quarterback Troy Aikman, and Aikman's 19-yard score to tight end Jay Novacek.
In the third quarter, Aikman was knocked out of the game with a concussion,
and San Francisco running back Ricky Watters ran for a 4-yard touchdown to cut the lead,
28-14. However, Dallas backup quarterback Bernie Kosar connected
with wide receiver Alvin Harper for a 42-yard touchdown.
Cowboys kicker Eddie Murray later added a 50-yard field goal in the
fourth quarter to clinch the victory.
Mostly due to Johnson's famous guarantee,
ESPN named the game one of the ten most memorable in the history of Texas Stadium in 2008.
