Roger Craig fumble 1990 NFC Championship

Late in the 4th quarter on the 1990 NFC Championship game, the 49ers had the ball, a fresh set of downs, and a 13-12 lead. They appeared headed to the super bowl for a chance at a three peat, but nose tackle Erik Howard #74 came up with the big play, splitting the defense and getting his helmet on the ball. Roger Craig fumbled, Lawrence Taylor recovered, and the Giants ended up winning on a last second field goal by Matt Bahr to advance to Super Boal XXV.

GAVE??

49ers didn't give the GIANTS anything, the Craig fumble was forced & the same with Kyle Williams in Overtime, it was forced.

As far as the ball off the knee, that was a just a REAL Bad mistake by Williams; any team (including the 49ers) would've taken advantage of that.

I beleive Rodger Craig was traded the next year. It sucks to be known as the guy who possibly prevented a 3-Peat. He was the main guy yelling 3-Peat after they crushed Denver in Superbowl 24, for The Repeat a year earler. I thought The 49ERS had it. I was shocked! The Giants are a great team, but San Fransisco, had no business loosing that game.

That was a clean hit on Montana. That's part of the game, it's nothing that I celebrate though.
