Please help me remember which game Ken Norton Jr. helped make a goal line 4th and 1 stand against...

[yeto]

the San Francisco 49ers. If I remember correctly he tackled Roger Craig (not 100% sure it was Craig) and stopped the drive. After he made the tackle he ran off the field punching his fist like a boxer. I think it was probably in either the 1992 or 1993 season. I have been trying to find video of the play but cannot locate it on the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
yeto

You sure it wasn't Super Bowl 27 against Kenneth Davis?

It wasn't Craig. He left the 49ers in 1990. Ricky Waters maybe?

Here is the one @bbgun was talking about vs. Davis. This has to be the one that you are thinking about. Its the third down play.

You could be right. Maybe it was Ricky Waters but it was definitely against the 49ers not Buffalo. I remember the play because you could see the team's confidence level change (the changing of the guard so to speak) after that play and they went on to win 3 Super Bowls.

Watch this one. There is one play at the end where he tackles Waters and the starts "punching" his hands.

Cool video of one of my favorites from back then.

And LOL @ the Buffalo radio guy calling the Davis run as a Touchdown.

Going to Frisco was a killer. Helped them; weakened us.

We completely bungled the salary cap in those early days.

Replaced Harper with Kevin Williams but got away with it because Irvin had a monster year.

30 years of a salary cap and we still haven't figured it out.

Thank you for taking time to post/reply but no, none of those were "the play". It was definitely 4th and goal and Norton stopped the 49ers running back. Norton ran back to the sidelines punching his fist into his other hand. I knew at that moment that the guard had changed from the 49ers to the Cowboys and that the Cowboys would be the new dominant team in the NFL. You could just feel it and see it in the team. I will never forget that tackle. It was magic.

A new "nostalgia" thread?

It was 3rd and 1. And, it was against Buffalo.

Already posted that but thats not the one he is remembering. I vaguely remember a crucial stop by Norton against the 49ers but just no video out there that I could find

I don't remember a goalline stand by Norton at all against the 49ers. I only remember the one against the Bills. Mainly because it was in the SB.

 

[data]

Norton only played the 49ers twice before XXVII, 1990 reg season and 1992 NFCC

Do you remember the game being in SF or Irving? Who was SF QB?

Perhaps a little bit of faulty memories going on here.

I fast forwarded thru our Niner games in '89 and '90. Didn't see a Norton goal line stand.

Games saved as well as posts? Geez. Do you have anything in your house besides hard drives?
