1990 NFC Championship

Giants 15, 49ers 13
San Francisco -- Jan. 20, 1991 -- San Francisco was seeking to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls and was about to get its shot until halfback Roger Craig fumbled the ball with 2:36 to go.

Lawrence Taylor made the recovery, a turnover that set up Matt Bahr’s fifth -- and most important -- field goal, a 42-yarder at the final gun that put the Giants in Super Bowl XXV, where they defeated the Bills.
