The 9ers were huuuge favorites in 97 over the Vikings BG, you can't say just because Cunningham didn't pull it out versus one of the most balanced teams in the league that he was a failure. I have that game on recording, I sometimes watch it before I sleep (not the Packer game which we lost) and yeah, that's a lot to expect to beat those 49ers. It was a 2 horse race that year between the 9ers and Packers as that was the year the Cowboys had finally fallen off and for good.
