The 49ers jumped out to a sudden, 21-0, lead but the mistake-ridden Cowboys, hoping to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, kept battling.
"It's really kinda comical, like the Keystone Kops," Barry Switzer said. "You play the first five minutes and give San Francisco 21 points. But you know what? If the referee makes the same [interference] call on Deion Sanders [then a 49er cornerback] that he made on Larry Brown, we're going to score and it's 38-35 with five minutes to go."
Instead, Switzer drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for bumping an official in exasperation over the non-call. It was just a lousy day on San Francisco Bay for the Cowboys.
