tight pix tone...here's another bit of niner tradition:
It's difficult to remember the last time the 49ers were a heavy underdog. But before a November 12, 1995 showdown against the Cowboys, the 49ers entered Texas Stadium as heavy underdogs. Steve Young was out. William Floyd was lost for the season. And the 8-1 Cowboys were bent on revenge. Former Niner Deion Sanders and Cowboy wide receiver Michael Irvin waste no time talking about how they want to demolish the Niners. Deion talks about "doing some things in the endzone." And Irvin talks about how satisfying it will be to have Jerry Rice see him break a receiving record (consecutive games over 100 yds receiving).
But rather than give in, the 49ers show some pride. On the second play of the game, Rice lines up in the slot and takes a short 8 yard pass from Elvis Grbac. 73 yards later, Rice scores an 81 yard TD. The Niners never look back. Rice's TD catapults the Niners to a 24-0 lead, and when it's all said and done, Jerry Rice leads the 49ers to a 38-20 victory.
