That drop was in a SB and "could have" resulted in a Championship win .
A win against a team now considered one of the best of all time.
You are correct, and it would have been a very fitting way to win that game.
In '88 our defense was ranked in the bottom half of the league (16th points, 15th in yards). The Niners had the #2 offense in the league. Then we lost arguably our best defensive player in DT Tim Krumrie early in the first quarter.
Our MVP QB Boomer Esiason had a bum shoulder and played like shit (11-25, 144yds, 0 td, 1 int). Our rushing game which was #1 in the league (169.4 ypg) during the regular season only produced 106 yards. Yet our defense played out of their minds and held the Niners to just one td for fifty-nine and a half minutes.
