On January 30, 1994: How about them Cowboys? Cowboys Repeat as Super Bowl Champs!
Until the Buffalo Bills‘ Thurman Thomas fumbles early in the third quarter, it doesn’t look particularly good for Dallas, which trails 13-6. Safety James Washington picks up the loose ball and returns it 46 yards for a touchdown, tying Super Bowl XXVIII in Atlanta. The score switches the momentum and the Cowboys go on to rack up another 17 points and rout the Bills, 30-13.
Emmitt Smith, the NFL’s leading rusher this season, runs for 132 yards (91 in the second half) and scores two second-half touchdowns. Already voted the regular season MVP, he is named the game’s MVP. “Our mission is completed,” Smith says. It’s the second consecutive Super Bowl title for the Cowboys, who are the first team to ever start the season 0-2 and finish Super Bowl champs. For the Bills, they are now “Woe for Four” in the last four championship games.
