description

Physicality and competitiveness took center stage of 1993’s NFC Championship Game almost immediately, with neither Dallas nor San Francisco — engaged in a pre-game war of words — willing to wait until even kickoff to rekindle their rivalry’s flame. Knowing a thing or two about brute force, Daryl Johnston offered a commanding contribution, capping off Dallas’ 80-yard drive by powering up the gut for a go-ahead, four-yard touchdown. Scoring four touchdowns over their first five possessions, the Cowboys dodged any late-game suspense, making quick work of the 49ers for a second straight season with Jan. 23, 1994’s 38-21 win. Effective in his role, Johnston turned in a six-touch, 30-yard, one-touchdown evening, as Dallas plowed its way to Super Bowl XXVIII.
