COWBOYS-49ERS
Head-to-head: From 1992 to '97, the two teams met eight times, with each team winning four, including three successive times in the NFC title game (1992-'94), with Dallas winning the first two and the 49ers taking the third.
The rivalry: The Cowboys and 49ers traded series domination in the '70s (Dallas) and '80s (San Francisco), but the rivalry really heated up in the early '90s when each team battled for NFC supremacy.
Signature moment: Jimmy Johnson had led Dallas back to respectability after some lean years, but the Cowboys were still big underdogs in the 1992 NFC title game. In what is considered one of the greatest NFC Championship played, Troy Aikman led the Cowboys on a late game-winning drive to stun the Niners and set up the first of three Super Bowl wins in the decade Dallas.

GIANTS-49ERS
Head-to-head: From 1981 to 1990, the teams met a dozen times, five in postseason.
The rivalry: The contrasting styles –- Bill Parcells’ defense and running game vs. Bill Walsh’s finesse West Coast approach -- and the regularity with which these teams met made this a great rivalry, one that stretched over an entire decade and spilled into the next. The 49ers dominated the 1980s with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice leading the way, but New York was the one team to consistently give them fits.
Signature moment: While the teams met five times in the playoffs during this era, only once did it come with the Super Bowl on the line. It happened in the 1990 season, with the 49ers coming off back-to-back NFL titles. They would not make it a third as Lawrence Taylor recovered a late fumble by Roger Craig and the Giants kicked a field goal to win, 15-13. (Photo by T.G. Higgins/Getty Images)
