An immortal game in the hearts of Giants fans. AND THE GIANTS HAVE THE BALL!
The fake punt lives in my mind forever
…and… THERE WILL BE NO THREE-PEAT, THE GIANTS WIN IT !!
An immortal game in the hearts of ANY NFL fan or what use to be the NFL!!!
Saved the giants from 20 years of irrelevance between title teams....
Old Candlestick Park...what a great place to watch a game...on tv. Used to love watching games on CBS from there...late game on the east coast, sun still high there, going down here... that great crowd always at full throat, close to the action...aerial shots of the SF Bay....great memories...I miss the old concrete dump of a lady.
Well said
NFL was Real and didn't have to sell out to Bank and insurance institutions
It's ridiculous how good the NFC was during the 80's
It was even better in the 90's as everyone considered the NFC championship the real Super Bowl. The Broncos saved the NFL from a realignment that was under consideration.
@@ludvigborga3676 the 2000s and 2010s Patriots would like a word
and they won't get it 😭😭😭
Back in the 80s and early 90s I always thought that the NFC championship game was the real Superbowl. Those games were better than the Superbowl.
@@paulanthonyyepez2915 At THAT POINT it was. The AFC in the mid-80s to the late-90s BLEW.
To me, this was the greatest victory as a Giants fan even more than SB 42 & 46. This was a game where the Giants had no chance with a backup QB and backup RB against one of the greatest teams of all time.
Bingo 👍🏼
Very Very Very Big! When Roger Craig fumbled the ball I went crazy! The noise in Candlestick park was quiet!
"THERE WILL BE NO THREE-PEAT" is one of the great calls of all time.
As a rams fan that was my moment watch that team lose to the giants
No matter how many times I watch this when I hear Pat say those words and can feel the Giants pride in his voice I get chills. The greatest line ever.
Unfortunately, you are correct.
That was Pat Summerall for ya' - simply, yet extremely powerful and effective.
Says pat summerall the former giants kicker
OJ Anderson stiff arming Ronnie Lott to the ground at the end of the 3rd quarter on a 20 yard run.....fantastic.
One of the greatest NFC championship games
What a game. I completely forgot that Bahr missed that one field goal and that Carthon dropped that easy touchdown pass on the halfback option play. Two plays were seared into my memory for life though: Montana getting wrecked by Marshall and of course Craig's fumble recovered by L.T. What's crazy about the NFL pre free agency is how many great players the top teams had. The 49ers had Steve Young as their backup QB. The Giants had 7 pro bowlers. The last amazing point about this game is look at the Giants coaching staff. Parcells (HC), Belichick (DC), Coughlin (WR). Three HOF coaches on one staff. Hell, Charlie Weis was the G-Men's assistant special teams coach.
There was never a better duo on the mike than Pat Summerall and John Madden. I miss them.
In a tribute to john madden I had to listen to this game greatest game ever called by summerall and madden thank you John rest in peace we love you!! go Giants!!
Greatest NFL 🏉 games of all time 👍🏽✌🏽
Those CBS cold opens with Summerall/Madden were pure art. And the pistol to end the game? Magical.
My favorite thing about being a giant fan is how most people consider Brady and Montana the best qbs ever yet neither one can say a damn thing to the giants
Watch my Channel in next few weeks. You will see what Montana niners did to LTs Giants in the playoffs in 1981 and 1984. Its not pretty.
@@theeusthenopteron6483 true, but the Giants were young and not ready yet. 86 and 90 will always be what Giants fans remembered because those were the years we had a chance, and we beat SF both times. They did get the best of us in the regular season 88-90, but that made this 90 NFC title game that much sweeter.
@@theeusthenopteron6483
And Still , those wins against The GMEN are not as memorable , as This one.
#BIGBLUE💯💪
If the Giants were young and not ready yet you would have known too. I am too young and miss these good ole days unfortunately.
SF beat NY in the 1981 Playoffs and 1984 Playoffs to go on and win the Superbowl . Montana has his moments against NY
LT was in the right spot in the right time, he made the deciding play of the game.
Yeah, he had a split second to gobble up that fumble. Great play, great player
This was a great low-scoring, defense oriented game. The new generation of football fans might find this boring, but to me, this game was exciting.
This was a boring game between two good teams with meh offenses...great storyline
A true testament to Belichick being a defensive genius: he tamed Joe Montana. Twice.
Three times actually. 1985 Wild Card, 17-3; 1986 Divisional Playoff, 49-3; 1990 NFC Championship Game, 15-13.
Belichick stopping the famed West Coast Offense
THRICE. Everyone forgets the '85 wild card game.
He dismantled the 9ers dynasty😎
And Jim Kelly and Bills two weeks later
I so happen to a lifelong New York Giants Fan. My birthday January 27, 1985. I was a year old during Super Bowl 21. I was 6 the night of Super Bowl 25. 17 years and 1 week later after my 23rd birthday, Super Bowl 42. And Super Bowl 46, 4 years and 2 days later, and 9 days removed from my 27th birthday. What better way to celebrate a birthday than to receive a Lombardi Trophy.
You gotta love John Madden. A play by “an old nose tackle”. Erik Howard was 26 years old. Lol.
I remember this game so clearly I loved LT wanted to see him win though I'm a cowboys fan
This was the best football teams for sure that year. Great to watch it again.
This game and Super Bowl 42 share the top spot in giants history
One of hardest hitting games i have ever seen. So close to another Super Bowl.
The pacing, the hitting, what was at stake makes this one of the greatest games ever played. I think this game is historically glossed over because not a lot of points were scored but this game had it all.
Greatest hittin̈g game I've ever seen and no cheap shots
The Giants and the Niners had an underrated rivalry in the 80's into the early 90's.
Being a life long giants fan this game is one of my favorite giants memories as a fan. An era when there was true hard nosed NFL players,not like today's NFL filled with prima donnas,divas,and egotistical selfish complainers. I sure miss the 80's and 90's type of player who were about the team game.
I agree and go New York Giants who are without a doubt the greatest franchise in professional football
Also alot more brain damage
The world changed, and so you would expect that the people would, too. I totally agree with you, though. I used to be annoyed when my kids would start a question to me with 'mommy, back in your day.....', but now I laugh because 'our day' was some of the BEST days!
@Nolan S. Good thing players don't get concussions anymore 🤡🤡🤡
Parcell's and Belichick's game plan was perfect. Not above average. It was perfect. I still maintain that Hoss' ability to scramble (Simms was a statue) was the central reason why the Giants stole this W from the Niners.
Even after that injury, Hoss moved very well. Incredible.
I loved Simms but the Giants don't win that game with him at QB.
@@bronxjar8441 Simms was phenomenal in the NYG's first SB. Just about perfect.
The Leonard Marshall hit on Montana was one vicious lick! Montana's career could have been over!
Amused every time Bahr kicks a FG, the scoreboard reminds us how the Bills pummeled the Raiders 51-3 earlier that day.
Underrated nfl rivalry
These two teams had a huge battle on Monday Night Football earlier in the season. The 49ers won that game 7-3.
Amazing that the rematch saw the Giants win without Sims.
Give me Parcells over Belichick any day!
I love Phil Simms. He and Eli were/are my favorite Giants of all time. Giants don't win without Hostetler. His ability to run made all the difference in this championship run.
The Game that Solidified my Allegiance to The GMEN as a Lad.
Joe Montana's career would never be the same after that hit by Leonard Marshall at 10:55. Shoot, that hit and Roger Craig's fumble in the 4th quarter pretty much ended the 49ers dynasty.
Montana is an all-time great QB, obviously, but at times, he would hold the ball too long instead of getting rid of it quicker. That hit by Marshall was because Montana held it way too long! He had time to just dump it off or throw it away to avoid that crushing hit.
One of the best games I’ve ever seen
I remember this day vividly, the scoreboard with the 51-3 score of the Bill's game and my grandmother how hates the Bill's said thet were playing like wild animals. Miss you Gram
Best football game I’ve ever seen….
“…And the GIANTS have the ball!!” Great call by pat.
I still haven't forgiven Roger Craig for that fumble 🤦♂️
Same here 🤦🏾♂️
The Niners didn't lose this game on that one play. NY punched them in the mouth throughout. I'm a Rams fan; reminds me of Belichick taking a Super Bowl from the Greatest Show in 2001 😏 Also the 1999 NFC Championship versus that great Bucs D. Rams barely managed to win that one in the end. Not as much now with the rule changes that favor the offense, but back in the day great D typically topped great offense. See NY beating Bills in the SB.
Neither has the 49ers apparently
He got you two rings
I watch these games to hear John and Pat. I sure do miss them. Oh and nice shot by Leonard Marshall to knock Montana out of the game and result in this being his last game as a Niner. I recall it being SO strange when he went to KC. It was blasphemous to not finish out your career with the original team. Nowadays, these dudes might play for 5-6 teams over a 10 year span. Aaaaaah, the good ole days!
When really think about it. How could the Giants or any other team win a game against anyone wo scoring a TD? That alone in a championship game makes it one of the greatest games of all time, esp against that 49ers team. With a 'backup' QB as well. Giants really won that game "against all odds".
The Field Goal Game! Well coached Game by the GMen!!
What a great game!
Hostetler was the reason they won this game.
An arguable statement, but he played very well and came back from what looked like a serious ACL injury. Hoss is a treasure in the hearts of Giants fans.
People forget how the Giants limped into the playoffs. With those losses to the Bills, Phil Simms out for the year and their last two wins were against last place teams like the Cardinals and Patriots were very lack luster victories. Then to get to the Super Bowl with a back up QB and back up running back against the back to back champion 49ers. Just slogging it out and getting that Craig fumble because one more first down and the game was over. Then to play against a superior then Bills team with the game plan of time of possession and then on defense just having 2 down lineman to protect against any catches and run after the catch. The Giants pulled it off . It's amazing that after Parcells retired the team would fall off a cliff with Ray Handley as head coach.
Montana the greatest qb he was so accurate
Never heard the radio calls from either teams broadcasters.
What made Tom Brady great is he practiced every day vs BILL BELICHICK defenses.
People will probably come to this game if the Chiefs get knocked out this upcoming postseason.
Great game in the backdrop of the Gulf War breaking out. There were several news interruptions during the games that day as America endured scud attacks with the reporters wearing gas masks
This is a game where it came down to coaching. Seifert
i'm still sick over this game. Would have been a 3-peat if Montana doesn't get hurt.
Giants seem to always win with defense, respect
There will be no 3 peat! The rumor was that Pat Riley, who has a trademark right of 3 peat, was devasted on this 9ers' loss.
Considering his Lakers failed to deliver on the three-peat when they were swept by the Detroit Pistons in the 1989 NBA Finals
This game would have had so many flags and some disqualifications
10:47 - BOOM! DOWN GOES MONTANA! IN COMES YOUNG! MONTANA IS DOWN!
He broke his freaking back
No, Leonard Marshall’s vicious but clean hit on Joe Montana did not end his career but it mark the end of his time as 49ers quarterback and ushered in the Steve Young era.
Does anyone know the name of the song at 0:53 seconds? It’s so beautiful to hear
Dances with wolves soundtrack….journey to fort Sedgwick….John Barry composer….I produced all the opens with for 6 years…he and John were magical….miss them both…it was a great time….
Let’s be honest, except for John Taylor’s touchdown, the Giants secondary kept 49er receivers in check.
Giants elite D carried this game
oh that fake punt...epitome of fortune favors the bold.
What if Montana was still in the game?! Cause 49ers were leading before he got injured
I always wondered if the 49ers didn't fumble the game away and they made the super bowl , always wondered if the bills would of beat them
Maybe because Montana was out and Young wasn't in his prime to fill his shoes but 49ers still had a tough defense and NFC football was tougher than the AFC.
Even if they only won by one point?
Think billls would have won its the nfc east teams that destroyed them 49ers still are a finesse team despite their good defense
Hard-nosed football 🏈-- I love it.
On this game and day I was going for Giants, and the did beat the 49rs. !!!
I remember playing in this game. I was the best one.
Its a Beautiful Thing when EVERY HIT in this game is an ILLEGAL HIT Today lmao hahah ;D Game is SOFT. This were MEN Playing!!! OH you wanna do DRUGS no problem lmao haha GO PLAY lmao haha; D HUT HUT HUT!!!! 80's was tha BEST lol
they kicked their ASS, on their own grass
Very physical game on both side. Very close on scoreboard. No ass kicking there. Watch this game: that’s a ass kicking (Madden said so): th-cam.com/video/8AZNdSPD-BM/w-d-xo.html
@@theeusthenopteron6483 ass kicking reference isn’t always referring to the final score, joe said it after the game, they felt like they were the better team, but just couldn’t do anough on offense the way they dominated through out the year, so in a way they did get their ass handed to them by the giant defense
@@randyware9645 I disagree. It was an even game. The Giants couldn't score all day. 49ers D was tough. The difference of the game was the Craig fumble at the final minutes of the game. 49ers were moving the ball for 1st downs and run out the clock and that fumble was the difference.
1st thumbs down!
ACTUL final score was 13-12 49ers because *BY RULE* because the Giants hadn't scored a TD all game, the 5th one *HAD* to land *BEFORE* the clock expired in order for Bill Parcells to jump up and down. This ruling just came down from Roger Goodell at 3:40 PM Eastern on June 25th 2021 after a 31-1 vote by owners and the Giants have until 3 PM Eastern June 25th 2021 to appeal if there is no appeal the NFC Championship *AND* Super Bowl Trophy* will be moved to Santa Clara (Super Bowl Trophy go to the NFC Runner up because the NFC was the host team.
THE Giants won that game 15-13 thats the final score the game is over with it will never come back no three peat for the bitch ass 49ers
No 3 peat u right giants that year luck or rig Bill's and 49ers ok
And Danny right about it being 13 to 12 cuz kick was late
That would be some rule lol
Also can’t hit the crossbar. Needs to fully clear the post.
"And the Giants have the ball". There were never any better words heard by Giants fans. Thank you Pat Sumerall, and of course, Coach Madden.
Pat Summerall "There will be NO 3PEAT"
The 1990 Giants have to be ranked highly all time for me simply because they managed to take down the Lords of football and bounced back from this awesome physical summit meeting to slow down the lethal Bills A WEEK LATER. Not two, just one. Incredible master work by Parcells, Belichick, and Ron Erhardt.
The cleanest hardest hitting title game of all time. Nothing cheap nothing dirty (except for jim burt maybe) just hard nose smash mouth football. A classic
I have often said that this was the most physical playoff game I ever saw. It was reflected by Montana limping off the field and Hostettler having to sit out snaps in the middle of the game.
I loved the fact it was clean for the most part ... and the Leonard Marshall strip sack of Joe Montana - to this moment - is, IMO, the most vicious clean hit I have ever seen on a football field.
@@ColeSportz ... Jim Burt was simply dirty on that field. Taking out Hostettler's knee and then on the last drive while Hos was scrambling Burt again dove at his knee.
Facts. The 1990 Giants have to be ranked highly all time for me simply because they managed to take down the Lords of football and bounced back from this awesome physical summit meeting to slow down the lethal Bills A WEEK LATER. Not two, just one. Incredible master work by Parcells, Belichick, and Ron Erhardt.
I love physical games like this, and the Monday night game that preceded this classic!
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424Well said!
The fake punt to Reasons was a fantastic call and perfectly executed.
I watched it live at 9 years old with my grandpa…he knew it was coming and couldn’t believe SanFran wasn’t expecting it! Love ya, Poppy! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🫶🏻
The play was called…”ARAPAHO!”
this was when football was football before the rules were screwed heavily in favor of offense
What a game, I remember everyone in our house rooting for the niners. With a backup QB the giants pull off the most underrated UPSETS EVER . A huge hit in the 4th quarter made it Montana s last game as a niner , A fake punt , a stripped fumble in hard hitting classic! Damn
Same here. All niners fans and they just didn't get the W. One game I will always remember. For sure
Opposite over here. My college buds and I were watching the game in Ithaca, NY, all of us were Giants fans. And we were all climbing the damn walls and pulling our hair out as the Niners drove down the field with Young in the game. Then we heard "And the Giants have the ball" and saw Taylor prancing around with he ball.
That whole 4th Quarter may be the most nail-biting white-knuckling quarter of Giants football I've ever seen. It beats anything in the Giants SB games, IMHO. And respect to the Niners for being just as hard-hitting as the Giants in this game. It's a shame someone had to lose.
Greatest Parcels Team, Awesome Game
the giants winning the superbowl after this game, sit the NFC EAST on a super bowl run of going to and winning 4 straight Super Bowls, with the bills losing all 4, the giants started it, then the redskins and the cowboys winning back to back
0:49, This was a great opening with Pat Summerall and John Madden.
I miss the days when they had starter pistols to signal the end of the game.
The Niners franchise was never the same after this. Yes they did get 1 more Super Bowl 4 years later, but they never returned to being what they were in the '80s; a dynasty. Since 1990, it's mostly been heartbreak in either the Super Bowl or NFC Championship.
This is great to hear as a Packers fan as I still remember last years divisional game. Broke a lot of dishes when my underfoot hit the table in the blocked punt. The dishes laid there shattered until halftime. I later thanked all my loved ones over the phone for supporting me and realized a game is just game especially when you are at the bottom of the hill in your personal life and in constant survival mode. Ahhh.... I guess that's life...😉
That and the Cowboys were emerging as a team in 1992 and then in 95 the 49ers couldn't get past the Packers except in 1998.
I saw 3 late hits, 3 helmet to helmets, 4 "hitting a defenseless receiver"...all in the first half. None called. Would've all been called today....smh.
Pat and John on the call …and hard hits all over. Great game to watch then
Nobody did it like Pat & John, such a great game with today's rules there would be a flag on each hit. Those players earned their money. NFL is soft now and remember they used to sell you on VHS NFL greatest hits
Matt Bahr... I wish he was still the New York Giants' kicker...
What an intro, loved Pat Summeral & John
12:28...Erik Howard with one of the greatest plays in NFL history. To get whipped initially, but have the strength and balance to jackknife back towards the line against someone the caliber of Jesse Sapolu and get his helmet on the ball to knock it out of Roger Craig's arm was incredible. Yes, there was a bit of luck involved, but if he resigns himself to just being beaten on that play, the arc of football history may have changed.
Winning comment. Bingo. Unfortunately most fans have no idea who he is. One of the greatest Giants defensive linemen of all time!
I'm there Again!!! What a Great Game !!!!!
Giants didn't even get a touchdown this game, I remember saying, buffalo is gonna rip them apart
AFC were soft. I knew the Bills were having a rough day.
Fantastic football. The hitting was ferocious.
Way back when my 49ers were tough and deadly blood in blood out pro football 😤🤬 ?! Nowadays we can’t win a Super Bowl anymore 3 Super Bowl losses in the last 10+ years it really hurts and it’s embarrassing 😒🤦🏻♂️
Roger Craig cost the 9ers a few potential SBs. And unlike the Pats with their HOF kicker, our was mediocre. Otherwise, the 9ers would’ve won at least 7 SBs in that era.
That game was a Dog Fight. I was 10 yrs old at the time.
No wonder the younger generations get worser every ten years missing this REAL SHIT!
The end of the San Francisco 49ers dominance. The 49ers still haven't recovered from this game. Dominance doesn't last forever.
And, no one still hasn't won 3 championships in a row, to this day. Not since the 1966, '67, and '68 Packers has any team won 3 straight NFL Championships.
Only 2 of them counted. I am only 35 and a Packers fan since Young left SF, maybe that's why I make such a reply.
@@Penland1234 dude, all 3 counted as NFL Champoinships. You think the NFL didn't exist until Super Bowl era? AFL was from 1960 to 1969. Green Bay won 3 NFL championships in a row January 1966, Jan 1967, and Jan 1968...all 3 were NFL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
@@brainscott8198 you must get tired of running into young idiots like myself. I really do appreciate this history lesson as a Packers fan. I am not even a true Packers fan but I am not afraid to admit it. They have been pretty consistent the past few years and that gets me interested even though they finally had a down year this year.
I wasn’t born yet when this game was played. As I watch and already know about LT! I have to say that entire giants front 7 was lethal!
Hard to believe that the Giants are the only team to knock out a two time defending sb champion on the road.
Man this destroyed Roger Craig's legacy.
Shit stills hurts after all these years
12:28 - LT!!! The Giants Have The Ball!
When men played football....
