FILE - In this Jan. 30, 1994, file photo, Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith (22) runs for short yardage against the Buffalo Bills during Super Bowl XXVIII action at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The NFL became a truly booming business in the 1990s, with multi-billion-dollar TV contracts, expansion to 30 teams, and a late-decade wave of new stadiums. Players began to pick up a bigger share of the wealth, with the dawn of unrestricted free agency. The results on the field were largely dominated by the NFC, with Smith and the Cowboys, Steve Young and the San Francisco 49ers, and Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers enjoying the most success.
