I was with a large group of long-time Niner fans watching that game and the guy sitting next to me was a high-school friend. He and I had actually been at the playoff game against the Cowboys about 10 years earlier when they had come back to win the game even though they were 11 points down with 1:50 to go in the game. When everyone started jumping up and down screaming 'we're going to the Super Bowl' after 'the Catch', we just looked at each other and we both had the same thought - deja vu. And when Danny White immediately moved them up to mid field, I was pretty sure the Cowboys were going to break everyone's hearts again. Great throw, great catch, but in the end, thank you Eric Wright and Dwayne Board!
Very similar to the current Patriots story. I guess their "The Catch" is "The Tuck"
