1993–94 Manchester City F.C. season, Season summary
Manchester City sacked manager Peter Reid just four games into the season, and quickly confirmed Brian Horton of Oxford United as his replacement.


1993–94 Manchester City F.C. season, Season summary
City were a competitive, attacking side during Reid's three seasons as manager, when they finished fifth in his first two seasons and ninth in the next campaign. But under Horton, they found it increasingly difficult to find the net - just 36 goals were scored in the league all season, and no player scored more than 6 goals. The mid-season sale of David White to Leeds United robbed them of one of their last quality performers, and his replacement David Rocastle (signed from Leeds in a separate deal) failed to live up to expectations.


1993–94 Manchester City F.C. season, Season summary
Despite their lack of goals, City avoided the drop and finished 16th - their lowest finish since relegation in 1987. Horton sought to reverse this decline by bringing in Nicky Summerbee, Uwe Rösler and Paul Walsh, while David Rocastle moved to Chelsea after less than a year at Maine Road.


1993–94 Manchester City F.C. season, Kit
City introduced a home and third kit for the season, opting to retain the away kit following the traditional pattern of only replacing home and away kits in alternating seasons. The new home kit featured another pseudo-holographic pattern, this time of large Umbro diamonds from the chest to the left shoulder. The third kit simply adopted the away shirt's pinstripes but altered the colours to deep navy blue on white background. Umbro and Brother remained the kit manufacturers and sponsors respectively.


1993–94 Manchester City F.C. season, Kit
For this season, City also played in a Centenary shirt to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the club adopting the name Manchester City. The kit featured very thin pinstripe diagonal lines instead of the Umbro diamonds of the main shirt, and replaced the club badge with the coat of arms of the city of Manchester itself, ensconced in a laurel wreath and featuring a motto which simply read the club's name and the years of the centenary.

1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season
The 1993–94 season was Manchester United's second season in the Premier League, and their 19th consecutive season in the top division of English football. Manchester United won the Premier League and FA Cup to become only the fourth club in the 20th century to win the Double.

In the FA Cup Final, United crushed Chelsea 4–0 thanks to two penalties from Eric Cantona and a goal each from Mark Hughes and Brian McClair.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season
Roy Keane justified his tag as the most expensive footballer in England by establishing himself as the club's regular central midfielder alongside Paul Ince, while veterans Mark Hughes, Brian McClair and Steve Bruce continued to excel despite their advancing years. The end of the season saw the club's longest serving player and joint captain, Bryan Robson, quit Old Trafford after 13 years to become Middlesbrough's player-manager. Also heading out of the exit door at the end of the season were Les Sealey, Clayton Blackmore, Mike Phelan, Colin McKee, and Giuliano Maiorana. Dion Dublin, who was unable to reclaim a regular place in the first team, was linked with a move away from Old Trafford for much of the season, but a move to Everton in November fell through and he was still at the club when the season ended.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season
With United's squad arguably the finest in England, Ferguson's only close-season signing was David May from Blackburn Rovers. May, 24, was signed by Ferguson in hope that he would develop into an eventual long-term successor to Steve Bruce.

With United still way ahead at the top of the league, December began with a visit to Old Trafford by one of their nearest rivals hoping to topple them. Norwich City came away with a point after holding United to a 2–2 draw, but the real challenge came on Boxing Day when Blackburn Rovers very nearly took all three points and only an equaliser by Paul Ince saved United from defeat and preserved their 16-point lead.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
The first game of 1994 was an uneventful goalless draw at home to Leeds United, followed three days later by a dramatic 3–3 draw against Liverpool at Anfield after United had taken a 3–0 lead.

Old Trafford was turned into a shrine on 20 January 1994 when Sir Matt Busby, who had served the club for almost 50 years as a manager, director and club president, died at the age of 84. Within 48 hours of his death, United took on Everton at Old Trafford in the league and the examplary behaviour of Everton fans during the minutes silence before kick-off was followed by a fitting game in which United won 1–0, with Ryan Giggs scoring the only goal of the game. United were still looking uncatchable as leaders. Before the month was over, United dispatched of Norwich City in the FA Cup fourth round.

However, March was a precarious month for United, whose treble challenge appeared to be on the rocks and fans were left wondering whether the team might end the season with nothing.

The month began with a 1–0 home defeat by Chelsea in the league – only their second of the season. Then they took on Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford, winning 3–1 but having goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel sent off, ruling him out of the League Cup final.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
A comprehensive 5–0 league win over Sheffield Wednesday stemmed fears that their title role would be seized by Blackburn Rovers, but 2–2 away draws with Swindon Town and then Arsenal cost them four valuable points and fears over the title challenge were further heightened by the fact that Eric Cantona was sent off in both of these games, earning himself a five-match ban.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
The treble dream ended at Wembley on 27 March, where United were beaten 3–1 by Ron Atkinson's Aston Villa. The following weekend, their lead at the top of the table was cut down to goal difference by Blackburn Rovers, whose striker Alan Shearer scored both of the goals as Kenny Dalglish's team were looking as though they might make a late run to their first top division title since 1914.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
Two days after the defeat at Ewood Park came the visit of relegation threatened Oldham Athletic to Old Trafford. With Eric Cantona still suspended, Dion Dublin took the advantage of a rare first team start and opened up the scoring in a pulsating 3–2 win which extended United's lead of the title race. Six days later, United and Oldham met again at Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final. This game was relatively disappointing, and when Oldham's Neil Pointon put the underdogs ahead it looked as though the biggest FA Cup upset in years was in the making.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
However, with only a minute to go, Mark Hughes scored a spectacular late equaliser to force a replay at Maine Road three days later, which United won 4–1.

The visit to struggling Ipswich Town on Portman Road on 1 May 1994 came on a day when the sporting world was overshadowed with the death of racing driver Ayrton Senna in the San Marino Grand Prix, but the football world was focused on United's attempts to seal a second successive league title. It was a narrow 2–1 victory for United, with goals from Eric Cantona and Ryan Giggs, but enough to seal the title.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
On 14 May 1994, United took to the pitch at Wembley with only Chelsea standing in their way of their first double. Before the game, however, Alex Ferguson had made one of the hardest decision of his managerial career – omitting Bryan Robson from the squad of 14.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
United were firm favourites to win but were taking nothing for granted, not least due to the fact that Chelsea were the only side to have beaten them twice in the league that season and the only side to have beaten them at Old Trafford in a competitive game. For half of the game it was touch and go as the half time whistle blew and the deadlock had yet to be broken. However, United were awarded two penalties in quick succession, with Eric Cantona converting them both to secure a 2–0 lead. Any hopes of Chelsea overturning that lead were effectively ended when Mark Hughes put United 3–0 up, and a late goal from substitute Brian McClair gave United a 4–0 win and a place in the history books.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
Bryan Robson was not the only player to exit Old Trafford in the 1994 close season.

During the season, Danny Wallace had called time on four injury plagued years at United (the last two of which had barely brought any first team action) and signed for Birmingham City in a £250,000 deal in October 1993, while 1990 FA Cup final hero Lee Martin put an end to a similarly long period in the shadows and joining Lou Macari's Celtic for the same fee.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
The 1994 close season saw two arrivals at Old Trafford. David May, the young Blackburn Rovers defender, was signed for £1.2 million as Alex Ferguson saw him as a potential long-term replacement for the ageing Steve Bruce, who had just agreed to remain at the club for another three seasons.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
Blackburn, attempting to make it third time lucky in their bid to beat United to the Premier League title, broke the national record fee that summer by paying Norwich City £5 million for striker Chris Sutton, who like Alan Shearer two summers earlier had been linked to Old Trafford before heading to Ewood Park instead. Blackburn were by no means the only side tipped to challenge United's dominance of the Premier League for its third season, as the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle United spent heavily on new players that summer.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season
United's other summer signing was 18-year-old Bradford City striker Graeme Tomlinson, who had impressed after six goals in 17 games for the Division Two club and cost United a £500,000 fee as Ferguson took the unusual step of looking elsewhere for squad depth in the shape of younger players.


1993–94 Manchester United F.C. season, Events of the season

But it didn't stop Detroit as they still drove 95 yards, featuring a 44-yard run by Sanders and a 13-yard third down conversion reception by Perriman after the ball bounced off Sanders' hands, and scored on Perriman's one handed 1-yard touchdown reception to take a 10–7 lead at the end of the half.

Corey Harris' 45-yard kickoff return gave the Packers good field position, but they were unable to take advantage and had to punt after demoralizing third down play in which Favre overthrew wide open receiver Mark Clayton near the end zone. After forcing a punt, Robert Brooks' 21-yard return gave Green Bay the ball on their own 29-yard line with 2:24 left in regulation. Favre started off the drive with an 11-yard completion to Edgar Bennett. His next pass to tight end Ed West moved the ball 9 yards to midfield.

Following a 4-yard run by Bennett, Favre's 6-yard completion to Sharpe advanced the team to the Lions 40-yard line. On the next play, he took the snap and ran left. Defensive back Kevin Scott, who was covering Sharpe one on one along the right sideline, slowed down a bit when he saw Favre running, just enough for Sharpe to pull ahead of him and Favre launched a 40-yard pass to Sharpe in the end zone for the game winning score.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 8, 1994, NFC: Green Bay Packers 28, Detroit Lions 24

Sharpe, who had not practiced in the last eight weeks due to turf toe (though he was still able to play in games) and had set the NFL single season record for receptions in their week 17 meeting against Detroit, caught five passes for 101 yards and tied a playoff record with three touchdowns. This was Scott's last game in the NFL.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Saturday, January 8, 1994, NFC: Green Bay Packers 28, Detroit Lions 24

The Giants had the wind again in the third quarter, and on their first drive of the second half, Hampton scored on a 51-yard rushing touchdown, the longest run in Giants postseason history. Then Harry Newsome's punt went just 21 yards to the Minnesota 26-yard line. Hampton subsequently converted a fourth and 1 situation with a 2-yard run and rushed for five yards on third and 2 as the team drove to another touchdown on his 2-yard score. On the extra point attempt, the snap sailed right through Horan's hands and went right into the arms of Treadwell. However, Treadwell managed to run the ball into the end zone for a successful conversion, giving the team a 17-10 lead.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Wild Card playoffs, Sunday, January 9, 1994, NFC: New York Giants 17, Minnesota Vikings 10
Although the Vikings held the wind advantage again during the final quarter, the Giants defense managed to shut them down to preserve the victory. The Vikings had a great chance to tie the game when Carter caught a deep pass from backup quarterback Sean Salisbury and appeared to be on his way to a sure touchdown, but safety Myron Guyton caught up with him from behind and knocked the ball out of his hands. Jackson recovered it for the Giants on the Vikings 15-yard line to put the game away.

The Raiders got the first scoring opportunity of the game when quarterback Jeff Hostetler's first pass of the game was complete to Tyrone Montgomery for a 19-yard gain to the Bills 29-yard line. But a third down sack by Buffalo lineman Bruce Smith halted the drive and Jeff Jaeger missed a field goal attempt from 47 yards. Buffalo then took over and drove to the Raiders 30-yard line, but also came up empty when Jim Kelly threw an incomplete pass on a fourth and 1 conversion attempt.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 15, 1994, AFC: Buffalo Bills 29, Los Angeles Raiders 23
After the turnover, Hostetler threw a 36-yard completion to tight end Ethan Horton and a 12-yard completion to Nick Bell on the way to a 30-yard field goal by Jaeger, giving Los Angeles a 3–0 lead early in the second quarter. But Buffalo quickly stormed back with a huge play from special teams expert Steve Tasker, who snagged Jaeger's short kickoff out of the air while on the run and raced 67 yards to the Raiders 1-yard line before being shoved out of bounds by Willie Gault.

But Buffalo, who had gained just 44 total yards at this point, struck right back with a 4-play, 76-yard touchdown drive. After three consecutive Kelly completions, a 37-yard pass interference penalty on defensive back Torin Dorn moved the ball to the Raiders 8-yard line, and Thurman Thomas ran it into the end zone from there, cutting the score to 17–13 with 50 seconds left in the half.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 15, 1994, AFC: Buffalo Bills 29, Los Angeles Raiders 23

Later on, the Bills scored three times in a span of 6:18 of the final two quarters to put the game away. Quarterback Jim Kelly first threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Bill Brooks at the end of a 5-play, 60-yard drive, giving Buffalo a 19–17 lead after Christie missed the extra point.

New York eventually cut the score to 23-3 at halftime with a 25-yard field goal from kicker David Treadwell after they stopped the 49ers on fourth and 1 on their own 21-yard line, but this would be their only score.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 15, 1994, NFC: San Francisco 49ers 44, New York Giants 3
Watters added two more touchdowns in the second half. He actually had a chance to score a sixth touchdown, but he was taken out of the game early in the fourth quarter with the ball on the Giants 11-yard line. Instead, he got to sit on the bench as Marc Logan scored the 49ers final points on a 2-yard run.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 15, 1994, NFC: San Francisco 49ers 44, New York Giants 3
"There was no question who was the best team out there today", said Giants coach Dan Reeves. "I'm disappointed that we came in and played this way. It hurts; it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The 49ers took us out of our element very quickly. They struck quickly and repeatedly, and took the running game away from us."


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 15, 1994, NFC: San Francisco 49ers 44, New York Giants 3
Although he didn't throw any touchdown passes, Young was near-perfect in the game, completing 17 of 22 passes for 226 yards, and rushing for 17 yards on the ground. The game was also notable in that it would end up being the final game in the storied career of New York linebacker Lawrence Taylor, and as it turned out, it would be the final game for Simms as well.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 15, 1994, NFC: San Francisco 49ers 44, New York Giants 3

Green Bay then drove to the Cowboys 37, but on fourth down and 8, Favre's pass to tight end Ed West netted just six yards. Dallas took the ball back and stormed 65 yards in six plays, including an 18-yard catch by Irvin with a 15-yard face-mask penalty turning it into a 33-yard gain. On the last play, Irvin caught a 19-yard touchdown reception. Now down by 21 points, Green Bay countered with a 9-play, 82-yard drive, with Favre completing four consecutive passes, including a 30-yard gain to running back Darrell Thompson, and scoring on a 13-yard pass to Robert Brooks, cutting their deficit to 24–10 going into the fourth quarter.

The Packers responded with a drive from their 15 to the Dallas 15, but any hope of a miracle comeback was dashed on the 13th play when safety Darren Woodson ended the drive with an interception. In the last two minutes of the game, Green Bay scored on Favre's 29-yard touchdown throw to Sharpe, but by then the game was well out of reach.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 16, 1994, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 27, Green Bay Packers 17

1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 16, 1994, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 28, Houston Oilers 20
Chiefs quarterback Joe Montana threw three touchdown passes in the second half to give his team a 28–20 win and put an end to Houston's 11-game winning streak, while Kansas City's defense terrorized Houston quarterback Warren Moon, forcing three turnovers and sacking him a playoff record nine times. Four different Chiefs defensive players (Albert Lewis, Joe Phillips, Bennie Thompson, and Derrick Thomas) finished the game with multiple sacks, three of whom (all except Thomas) didn't have two sacks during the entire season.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 16, 1994, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 28, Houston Oilers 20
On the opening drive of the game, a heavy pass rush by Oilers defensive tackle Glenn Montgomery caused Montana to throw a rushed pass that was intercepted by Steve Jackson, who returned it 14 yards to the Chiefs 23-yard line. Houston went three-and-out, including Lewis' 9-yard sack of Moon on third down, but Al Del Greco kicked a 49-yard field goal to put them on the board.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 16, 1994, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 28, Houston Oilers 20
Then after forcing a punt, Moon led the Oilers 80 yards in 11 plays on a drive that consumed just 6:37, starting if off with a 16-yard completion to Gary Wellman and later completing a 30-yard pass to Wellman deep in Chiefs territory. Once inside the red zone, Moon threw an incompletion on third down, but Thomas was penalized for being offsides, and Moon threw a first down completion to Haywood Jeffires at the 2-yard line on the next play. Running back Gary Brown took the ball into the end zone from there, increasing Houston's lead to 10–0.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 16, 1994, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 28, Houston Oilers 20
In the second quarter, Chiefs receiver Danan Hughes gave his team a big opportunity by returning a punt 35 yards to the Oilers 42-yard line. But Kansas City ended up empty handed at the end of a drive in which they squandered multiple chances to get into scoring range. First, Montana threw a pass to the end zone that was barely deflected away from receiver Willie Davis by the outstretched arm of defensive back Cris Dishman.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 16, 1994, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 28, Houston Oilers 20
On the next play, he completed a pass to J. J. Birden that moved the ball to the 5-yard line, only to see it wiped out by a false start penalty on tackle John Alt. Then after a screen pass that gained nothing, Montana threw another pass to the end zone on third down, this one bouncing off the fingertips of a wide open Davis and forcing Kansas City to punt. Houston then drove to the Chiefs 10-yard line on a drive that included Moon's 16-yard scramble with an unnecessary roughness penalty turning it into a 31-yard gain.


1993–94 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Sunday, January 16, 1994, AFC: Kansas City Chiefs 28, Houston Oilers 20
But after a penalty pushed them back to the 25, they too failed to score when Lewis knocked the ball out of Moon's hand as he pulled it back to throw and rookie linebacker Jaime Fields recovered the fumble. Montana completed a 22-yard pass to Davis on the first play after the turnover, and eventually the Chiefs reached the Houston 36-yard line. But Montana threw an incomplete pass on fourth and 1, and the score remained 10–0 at the end of the half.

After forcing the Oilers to punt on the opening drive of the second half, Montana completed a 37-yard pass to Davis and a 14-yarder to Tim Barnett before finishing the drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Keith Cash. Later in the quarter, Houston drove to the 48-yard line. But shortly before the end of the quarter, defensive back Charles Mincy made a clutch interception and returned the ball 12 yards to the Kansas City 14.

In the fourth quarter, Houston defensive back Terry Hoage intercepted a pass from Montana at the Chiefs 25-yard line, setting up Del Greco's 43-yard field goal to make the score 13–7. But Kansas City quickly stormed back to take their first lead of the game, scoring in just three plays: a 22-yard completion from Montana to Cash, a 38-yard pass interference penalty against Houston, and Montana's 11-yard touchdown pass to Birden.

Then on the first play of Houston's ensuing drive, Thomas forced a fumble from Moon that defensive lineman Dan Saleaumua recovered on the Oilers 13-yard line, setting up Montana's 18-yard touchdown pass to Davis. Moon then led the Oilers 80 yards with eight consecutive completions, including a 23-yard catch by Jeffires, to score on wide receiver Ernest Givins' 7-yard touchdown reception, making the score 21–20 with 3:35 left. But the Chiefs responded with a critical 41-yard completion from Montana to Cash on third and 1, setting up Marcus Allen's game clinching 21-yard touchdown run.

Houston would not host another playoff game until 2011 and the franchise would not appear in the playoffs until 1999, their first season as the Tennessee Titans. This would be the Chiefs' last postseason victory until January 9, 2016, when they defeated the Houston Texans. This was Montana's 10th consecutive postseason game with a touchdown pass, tying the NFL record set by Ken Stabler. Montana threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns, with two interceptions. Moon completed 32 of 43 passes for 302 yards and a touchdown, with one interception. Davis was the top receiver of the day with five receptions for 96 yards, while Jeffires caught nine passes for 88.

1993–94 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 23, 1994, AFC: Buffalo Bills 30, Kansas City Chiefs 13
Running back Thurman Thomas led the Bills to the 30–13 victory by recording 186 rushing yards, three receptions for 22 yards, and three touchdowns. Buffalo racked up a total of 229 rushing yards against a Chiefs defense that allowed only 39 rushing yards from Houston in the divisional round.

Buffalo scored first on a drive that started on the Kansas City 47-yard line courtesy of Russell Copeland's 13-yard punt return. A few plays later, Andre Reed's 29-yard reception on third and 5 moved the ball to the 13-yard line, setting up Thurman Thomas' 12-yard touchdown run to give them a 7–0 lead. Building on the momentum of a 31-yard kickoff return by John Stephens and a 24-yard run by Marcus Allen, Kansas City responded with a 31-yard field goal by Nick Lowery. Then Kansas City caught a break when Copeland fumbled the ensuing kickoff while being hit by Bennie Thompson, and Fred Jones recovered for the Chiefs on the Bills 24-yard line. This led to Lowery's second field goal to make the score 7–6.

The Bills stormed back with 13 unanswered points. First they drove 80 yards in nine plays, including a 33-yard burst by Thomas and a 15-yard run by Kenneth Davis, to score on Thomas' 3-yard touchdown run. Then a third down sack by Jeff Wright forced a Kansas City punt from deep in their own territory, which Copeland returned 17 yards to the Chiefs 46-yard line. Buffalo subsequently drove to the 5-yard line where Steve Christie made a 23-yard field goal.

After a Kansas City punt, a pair of double digit runs by Thomas set up a second Christie field goal to make the score 20–6 with just over two minutes left in the half. The Chiefs responded with a drive to the Buffalo 5-yard line, featuring a 31-yard completion from Joe Montana to running back Todd McNair, but with 21 seconds left before halftime, Montana's pass went through the hands of Kimble Anders and was intercepted by Bills defensive back Henry Jones.

Montana later suffered a concussion during the third play of the third quarter and left the game, replaced by Dave Krieg. Krieg's first two passes were incomplete, resulting in a punt that Copeland returned 26 yards into KC territory, but the Chiefs defense rose to the occasion and forced a punt. Krieg then led his team on a 90-yard drive, starting out with a 26-yard completion to J. J. Birden and later completing a 19-yarder to tight end Keith Cash on fourth down and 2, to score on a 1-yard touchdown run by Allen.

However, Buffalo scored 10 unanswered points in the final quarter to preserve the victory. First they responded to the Chiefs touchdown with an 18-yard field goal by Christie. Then a sack by Phil Hansen forced Kansas City to punt, and Copeland again gave his team good field position with a return to the Bills 48-yard line, where the team started a 52-yard drive to put the game away on Thomas' 3-yard touchdown run.

For the Bills, this was the third straight year they defeated a future Hall of Fame quarterback to advance to the Super Bowl. They beat John Elway and his Denver Broncos in the 1991 AFC Championship Game and Dan Marino and his Miami Dolphins in 1992. For Montana, this was his seventh start in a conference championship game, the most of any quarterback, breaking his tie with Terry Bradshaw and Roger Staubach. (In 2013, Tom Brady surpassed Montana by starting in his eighth AFC Championship Game.)

He also joined the select group to start in the conference championship for two different franchises, joining Craig Morton (Cowboys and Broncos), Doug Williams (Buccaneers and Redskins) and Jay Schroeder (Redskins and Raiders). This was also Kelly's fifth conference championship game which is tied for fifth most with Ken Stabler, Elway, Brett Favre and Donovan McNabb. Copeland finished with 138 all-purpose yards, including five punt returns for 70.

1993–94 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 23, 1994, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 38, San Francisco 49ers 21
Before the game, Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson famously guaranteed that his team would win, and his team did not disappoint. The Cowboys jumped to a 28–7 halftime lead, racking up 273 yards and 19 first downs, and scoring four touchdowns in their first five possessions. San Francisco finished the half with just 110 total yards and six first downs.

Dallas took the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards to score on running back Emmitt Smith's 5-yard touchdown. Five seconds into the second quarter, the 49ers tied the game on quarterback Steve Young's 7-yard touchdown pass to running back Tom Rathman. But then the Cowboys scored three unanswered touchdowns to go up 28–7 before halftime. First they drove 80 yards in 11 plays to score on a 4-yard run by fullback Daryl Johnston. Then Thomas Everett intercepted the ball from Young and returned it 14 yards to the 49ers 24, setting up Smith's 11-yard touchdown reception from Troy Aikman. Five minutes later, Aikman finished a 72-yard drive with a 19-yard score to tight end Jay Novacek.

On Dallas' first series of the third quarter, Aikman suffered a game-ending concussion, knocking him so senseless that when a team doctor asked him where the Super Bowl was going to be played, he answered "Henryetta", Aikman's hometown in Oklahoma. Then with just over five minutes left in the third quarter, San Francisco running back Ricky Watters ran for a 4-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 28–14.
