Aikman completed 14 of 18 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns by half time, carrying the Cowboys to a 28-7 lead Sunday that became a 38-21 victory over San Francisco and a second straight Super Bowl berth. Cowboys roll past 49ers "Unbelievable," offensive coordinator Norv Turner said. "He was just phenomenal." The Associated Press But on his second snap of the third quarter, Aikman was knocked dizzy when he caught a knee from 49ers defensive end Dennis Brown in the helmet. By the end of the NFC championship game, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman was in a hospital trying to regain his senses from a head injury that cut short an unforgettable performance. Alkman took one more snap, then spent about 15 minutes trying to regain consciousness on the sidelines by inhaling smelling salts and oxygen. It didn't work, and he headed to the locker room. With about 4 minutes left in the game, he rode an ambulance to Baylor Medical Center, where he was expected to spend the night, team officials said. "He probably has a first-degree concussion, maybe more than that," Cowboys trainer Kevin O'Neill said. "He still wasn't aware of what the day was." O'Neill said it was too early to determine the severity of the injury. "Let's see how the tests come out, and we'll go from there," he said. Cowbys coach Jimmy Johnson was hoping for the best. "I'm concerned about Troy," he said. "Hopefully, everything will be fine and he'll be ready to go in a day or two." "He can make all the throws up the field, but he's so patient and willing to take what's undermeath," Turner said. "He was accurate hitting the guys on the run so they could run with it after the catch. In the two quarters he played, Alkman was about as sharp as he'd been all season, looking worthy of every penny of his record $50 million contract. Alkman was just as efficient in the second quarter, sparking three scoring drives with both precision passing on both short and long routes. Once Aikman left, the Cowboys were in the trusty hands of Bernie Kosar, Dallas' $1 million midseason insurance policy. completed all three pass attempts for 46 yards and even ran twice for 16 yards. The first scramble was for a first down and the second set up the touchdown. "It was just a great first half of football. I hated to see him have to leave the game," he said. Kosar, no stranger to league championship games from his days with Cleveland, responded by completing five of nine passes for 83 yards. of nine plates for 60 buys. His biggest highlight was a 42-yard touchdown pass to Alvin Harper that put the Cowboys ahead 35-14. But Kosar's biggest play was one earlier on the drive that ended with Harper's touchdown. With Dallas third-and-nine from its 19, the 49ers were building momentum. They were down only 28-14 and Kosar's first four passing attempts resulted in a sack, two incompletions and a one-yard completion. Kosar responded with a dart to Michael Irvin on the left side that went for 12 yards, keeping the Cowboys in control. Three snaps later, Harper caught a quick slant and bolted past the defense for the game-breaking score. "We blitzed on third down and they made the play." San Francisco coach George Selfert said. "Had we made that play, I suspect it may have been a different ball game." The defending Super Bowl champions will meet the Buffalo Bills — whom they beat last year 52-17 — next Sunday in Atlanta.
