1992 Dallas Cowboys season The 1992 Dallas Cowboys season would mark their 33rd in the NFL and their first Super Bowl appearance in the 1990s . Since purchasing the team in 1989 , team owner Jerry Jones and head coach Jimmy Johnson guided one of the worst teams in the league to Super Bowl champions four seasons later . Headed by an explosive offense and the NFL ' s number one ranked defense , Dallas fielded at the time , the youngest team in the NFL and posted a franchise best 13 – 3 record throughout the regular season . In the playoffs , the Cowboys disposed of the Philadelphia Eagles , followed by a memorable victory against the San Francisco 49ers en route to a Super Bowl XXVII win over the Buffalo Bills . Regular season . The season would start off with two crucial wins against the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants , both victors of the previous two Super Bowls . A ferocious Dallas defense , with not a single player nominated to the Pro Bowl , placed first in the NFL in total defense . Running back Emmitt Smith would also collect his second straight NFL rushing title . The 1992 season would also see a renewed rivalry between the Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game set over a decade after the famous play known as The Catch . This ultimately started the rise of the 49ers and fall of the Cowboys throughout the 1980s . The rise of the 1990s Cowboys was christened with a 30 – 20 victory against San Francisco at Candlestick Park . Both franchises would later meet again in the next two NFC Championship games in what many consider to be a classic series of contest of future Hall of Fame players . At the Rose Bowl , site of Super Bowl XXVII , the Cowboys would struggle early finding themselves down 0 – 7 , but later regroup when Aikman ' s pass to tight end Jay Novacek tied the game 7 – 7 . From there , Dallas would gain all momentum and route the Buffalo Bills 52 – 17 , forcing a record 9 turnovers and knocking Bills quarterback Jim Kelly out of the game . Troy Aikman would earn Super Bowl MVP honors , wrapping up a phenomenal post - season in which he completed 68 % of his passes with 4 touchdowns and no interceptions . Notable additions to the team this year included defensive end Charles Haley , cornerback Kevin Smith , linebacker Robert Jones , safety Thomas Everett , safety Darren Woodson and wide receiver Jimmy Smith ( though Smith would never catch a pass during his time with the team ) . The Dallas defense ( nicknamed " Doomsday Defense " ) enjoyed a renaissance , but has never received due credit for it ' s achievements :
