victory over AFC champion Denver. 49ers quarterback
Joe Montana scrambles free on the way to a
5-touchdown day against the Broncos. 49ers running
back Roger Craig gets one of his 20 carries for 69

The Steelers captured Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and

for a record third time. Montana completed 22-of-29
passes for 297 yards and a Super Bowl-record 5
