For a second consecutive season, the 49ers’ path through the postseason would have to go through their oldest and most hated rival—the Dallas Cowboys.
These are the games where stars become legends. Where postseason heroics immortalize players into icons, it is a make-or-break time when the lights are the brightest, and on this particular stage, no star shined brighter than Fred Warner.
To give a glimpse into my rationale for why Warner’s performance is ranked so high on this list, I want to clarify that what he accomplished on its own holds tremendous weight.
