It happened one Sunday afternoon in January 1982 or the drive that set up "The catch" that put San Francisco in The Super Bowl. The final score was 27-26.
It may have been the end of the line for those Cowboys' teams of the 1970's. The Cowboys played in one more NFC championship game under Landry in 1983. They lost to Washington and that was pretty much the end of Landry's post season teams.
Dallas did not play in another NFC title until they met the same SF in 1993, 1994 and 1995.
