1992–93 NFL playoffs, Divisional playoffs, Saturday, January 9, 1993, NFC: San Francisco 49ers 20, Washington Redskins 13
In the second half, Washington converted two Young fumbles into 10 points. The 49ers got a great scoring opportunity after Whitmore intercepted a pass from Mark Rypien in the third quarter. But while scrambling for a first down, Young lost a fumble without being touched and linebacker Monte Coleman recovered it. This led to a 71-yard drive finished off by Lohmiller's 32-yard field goal, cutting Washington's deficit to 17-6. On the next series, the ball again slipped out of Young's hands, this time on a pass attempt, and Redskins lineman Charles Mann recovered it on the San Francisco 15-yard line. Three plays later, Rypien scored on a 1-yard sneak, cutting the deficit to 17-13 early in the fourth quarter.

San Francisco then marched 59 yards in 14 plays, featuring a 16-yard completion from Young to Rice on third and 10, on a drive that consumed more than seven minutes off the clock and scored on Cofer's game-clinching 33-yard field goal, making the score 20-13.

Washington got the ball back with 2:15 remaining and had one last chance to drive for a tying score, but they could only advance a few yards before turning the ball over on downs, as Rypien's final two passes were dropped by wide open targets, receiver Ricky Sanders and tight end Ron Middleton.

The Bills intercepted Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino twice, recovered three fumbles, forced four sacks, and held Miami to just 33 rushing yards. Although the Buffalo offense had trouble getting into the end zone because they played the game with a rusty Jim Kelly back in command of the offense for the first time in the postseason, kicker Steve Christie made an NFL playoff record-tying five field goals. Thurman Thomas, who had been knocked out of the game in both of the Bills prior two playoff contests, rushed for 96 yards and caught five passes for 70, while Kenneth Davis added 61 rushing yards and four receptions for 52.

1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20
Even though the Cowboys had only one more yard of total offense than the 49ers (416–415), Dallas forced four critical turnovers that helped them earn the win. On San Francisco's first drive of the game, a controversial holding penalty on offensive lineman Guy McIntyre nullified a 63-yard touchdown completion from quarterback Steve Young to wide receiver Jerry Rice, and the 49ers had to punt.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20
Despite a 19-yard reception from Michael Irvin on the Cowboys first play, they also had to punt, but returner Alan Grant fumbled the football after a hit from Dixon Edwards and Dallas fullback Daryl Johnston recovered it on the 49ers 22. The Cowboys restarted their drive with a completion to Irvin, this one a 21-yard gain to the 1-yard line. But the San Francisco defense managed to hold them up on three consecutive plays, forcing Dallas to settle for Lin Elliott's 20-yard field goal.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20

Dallas was forced to punt on their next drive after Troy Aikman was sacked twice (one by Bill Romanowski and the other by Martin Harrison) for 19 total yards, and Grant returned the football to the Cowboys 47-yard line.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20
San Francisco then drove to the Dallas 29-yard line, but the drive stalled there and Mike Cofer missed a 47-yard field goal try. After a punt, Watters lost a fumble that was recovered by defensive back Kevin Smith. Aided by a defensive holding call against Pierce Holt for holding up running back Emmitt Smith at the line on third down (the 49ers objected, stating that Holt was fooled by a fake handoff into thinking Smith actually had the ball), Dallas took a 10–7 lead with Smith's 4-yard touchdown run.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20
A 21-yard reception by Rice sparked a 49ers drive to the Cowboys 10-yard line where Cofer made a 28-yard field goal to tie the game with less than two minutes left in the second quarter. Cofer's kickoff went out of bounds, giving Dallas a chance to score before the end of the half. Aikman managed to lead them to the 49ers 25-yard line, but Elliott's 43-yard field goal attempt went wide right and it was tied at 10 going into halftime.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20

The 49ers struck back with a 35-yard completion from Young to Rice that set up a 43-yard field goal by Cofer, cutting the score to 17–13. However, Dallas put together a 79-yard drive which consumed nine minutes with a key 31-yard reception by tight end Jay Novacek. This second long drive was capped by Aikman's 16-yard touchdown pass to Smith, giving the Cowboys a 24–13 advantage.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20
On the ensuing drive for San Francisco midway into the fourth, Cowboys linebacker Ken Norton Jr. intercepted a pass from Young and returned it to the 49ers 45-yard line, and Dallas subsequently marched to the 7. Rather than attempt a field goal on fourth down and 1, Smith attempted to run for the first down, but was tackled by linebacker Michael Walter for no gain. The 49ers then drove 93 yards to score on Rice's 5-yard touchdown reception, cutting the lead to 24–20 with 4:22 left in the game.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20

Three plays later, wide receiver Kelvin Martin scored on a 6-yard touchdown reception, making it 30–20 (the extra point was blocked) with 3:43 to play. The 49ers attempted one last drive to come back, but Young was intercepted, this time by free safety James Washington at the 2:00 warning, thus ending any hope of a 49er comeback.


1992–93 NFL playoffs, Conference Championships, Sunday, January 17, 1993, NFC: Dallas Cowboys 30, San Francisco 49ers 20

1992–93 Norwich City F.C. season, Season summary, September
However things went from bad to worse for Beasant who then allowed David Phillips scuffed shot to somehow squirm through his hands, gifting Norwich the points.

The Sky Blues were also upsetting the bookies with a fine start to the season of their own.

1992–93 Oldham Athletic A.F.C. season, Season summary
Oldham started the season well and stood in midtable after eleven games, but struggled thereafter and were bottom of the Premier League with ten games left to play. Two successive wins briefly lifted Oldham out of the relegation zone, but failed to win any of their next four matches and looked dead and buried with three games left to play. For the club to survive relegation, three wins from their final three matches were required, and the Latics had to bank on Crystal Palace gaining no more than one point from their final two matches.


1992–93 Oldham Athletic A.F.C. season, Season summary
Oldham's first game of the final trio was away at second placed Aston Villa, who had to win to have any hope of winning that year's title. In a battling display, Nick Henry scored the winner midway through the first half, a shock result but one that gave hope to an unlikely escape and clinched the first title for 27 years for Oldham's local rivals Manchester United. Three days later, Liverpool were beaten 3–2 at Boundary Park, whilst Crystal Palace gained a draw at Manchester City.


1992–93 Oldham Athletic A.F.C. season, Season summary

1992–93 Ottawa Senators season, Expansion and Entry drafts
The team's struggles started before the season when, at the expansion draft, Senators management attempted to make three draft picks who were ineligible. They had wanted to select players from the Canadiens and Maple Leafs after they had both lost two, the maximum. To top it off, the Sens selected C. J. Young from Calgary off the wrong master list of players. The players the Senators did select were "journeymen NHLers or player who had good years in minor leagues but no longer were considered prospects."

The team also suffered two defeats that were greater than 50 points (at Kings 154–98 on Jan. 2, and at Sonics 149–93 on Mar. 6). As the NBA in the 1990s emphasized more defensive play, head coach Doug Moe tried to implement an up-tempo attack offense similar to his former Denver Nuggets team of the 1980s, which failed miserably. With the team holding a 19–37 record in early March, he was fired and replaced with Fred Carter. Moe would return to coaching with the Denver Nuggets in his second stint under head coach George Karl from 2005 until retirement in 2008.
