Today is the 25th anniversary of the 1992 NFC championship game, one of the greatest victories in Cowboys' postseason history.The victory propelled the Cowboys to Super Bowl XXVII where Dallas would win the first of three Super Bowl championships in four seasons and cement themselves as the NFL's Team of the 90s.The victory over the 49ers is recalled as a "changing of the guard" in the NFC.
