Pro wrestling Hall of Famer Ric Flair once said, “To be the man, you have to beat the man.” The Dallas Cowboys have fallen short against the San Francisco 49ers in that sentiment. The 49ers have been one of the main adversaries standing in the way of the Cowboys getting over the hump in the NFC and into the Super Bowl, much like in the 1990s. However, unlike the 1990s, it’s the 49ers who have come close to winning a Super Bowl, having played in three since the Cowboys last in 1996. In their recent head-to-head matchups against the 49ers, Dallas has been embarrassed by San Francisco.
