Joe Montana became the
Super Bowl's third two-time most valuable player,
joining Bart Starr and Terry Bradshaw. Montana led
the 49ers to their second Super Bowl championship
in three years, a 38-16 victory over Miami. He
passed for a Super Bowl-record 331 yards,
completing 24-of-35 passes. Three of those
completions were for touchdowns, and Montana scored
1 rushing touchdown. The second quarter was the
turning point for the 49ers. Trailing 10-7 after
the first quarter (the 49ers' score came on an
33-yard pass from Montana to running back Monroe),
San Francisco put together three scoring drives in
the second quarter. At the end of the first drive,
Montana threw an 8-yard pass to running back Roger
Craig to retake the lead. A few minutes later,
Montana scored on a 6-yard run. For the game,
Montana rushed 5 times for 59 yards. A 2-yard
rushing score by Craig completed the 49ers'
turnaround quarter. In the second
half, Montana kept the San Francisco offense
humming, driving for a field goal and throwing a
16-yard touchdown pass to Craig in the fourth
quarter. The 49ers' 537 total yards of offense set
a Super Bowl record. |
