NATIONAL FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
NFC EAST: The Giants have the same year as in OTL (13-3). The Eagles and Redskins also do the same, except the Skins get one more win, and finish 11-5 to Philly’s 10-6. The Cardinals are helped some by Deion, but don’t do better than 6-10 because of the underwhelming Steve Walsh at QB. Dallas, in the first year of the Rosenbach era, finish 4-12. Jimmy Johnson has more work to do.
NFC CENTRAL: The Bears, Bucs, and Packers fought all year for the division title. GB, with Aikman and rookie RB Emmitt Smith, pulls it out with a 10-6 record. The Bears finish at 9-7, and the Bucs finish at 8-8.
The Lions and Vikes pull up the rear. Detroit goes 4-12, and the Vikings disintegrate to 3-13. Jerry Burns is fired at the end of the year.
NFC WEST: The 49ers have only one blemish on their schedule en route to a 15-1 record. Allen, Montana, and Rice prove to be a lethal trio. The Saints finish one game out of the playoffs at 8-8. The Rams finish at 5-11, and the Falcons finish 3-13 in the first year of the Joe Bugel era.

The Giant defense is able to hold SF down, and they knock Joe Montana out of the game (as in OTL). However, Marcus Allen closes out the game, and the 49ers are on their way to SB 25, 13-12.
SUPER BOWL XXV: Bills vs. 49ers
ODDS: 49ers by 4 ½
It appears that Joe Montana may not be able to go this week, so Steve Young will have to start this one against a hot Bills team. The 49ers are still favored because of experience, but it won’t be a cakewalk like last year in New Orleans.
THE GAME: Steve Young, starting in his first SB, had a good game, with three TD passes. However, the Bills’ No Huddle offense caused problems for the 49ers. Thurman Thomas rushed for 135 yards, and Jim Kelly had four TD passes. The Bills win their first SB 31-24, and Thurman Thomas wins MVP.
