Montana's 49ers triumph over Marino's Dolphins
First, he was fined by the NFL during the playoffs for a violation of the league's dress code, wearing a head band from Adidas. He then started to wear a head band where he hand-wrote "Rozelle", after then-league commissioner Pete Rozelle. McMahon suffered a strained glute as the result of a hit taken in the NFC Championship Game and flew his acupuncturist into New Orleans to get treatment.
During practice four days before the Super Bowl, he wore a headband reading "Acupuncture". During a Bears practice before the Super Bowl, McMahon mooned a helicopter that was hovering over the practice. Another anecdote involving McMahon during the Super Bowl anticipation involved WDSU sports anchor Buddy Diliberto reporting a quote attributed to McMahon, where he had allegedly referred to the women of New Orleans as " sluts " on a local morning sports talk show.
This caused wide controversy among the women of New Orleans and McMahon began receiving calls from irate fans in his hotel. A groggy McMahon, who had not been able to sleep well because of all the calls he had gotten, was confronted by Mike Ditka later that morning and denied making the statement, saying he would not have even been awake to make the comment when he was said to have done so.
He was supported in his claim by WLS reporter Les Grobstein, who was present when the alleged statements were made. As the designated home team in the annual rotation between AFC and NFC teams, the Patriots wore their red jerseys with white pants, even though they wore white jerseys with red pants for all home games during the regular season.
New England made the switch for the Super Bowl after winning vs. The Bears donned their road white uniforms with navy pants. Griese worked in a separate booth from Enberg and Olsen.

Don Criqui was the play-by-play announcer, with Bob Trumpy as the color analyst. This was the first Super Bowl that this long lasting trio ever called together. This was the first year that the NFL itself implemented the pregame entertainment. The pregame entertainment show began after the players left the field and ended with kick-off. Lesslee Fitzmorris created and directed the show.
To celebrate the 20th Super Bowl game, the Most Valuable Players of the previous Super Bowls were featured during the pregame festivities. The number one song of the year coupled with video plays from each Super Bowl accompanied the presentation of each player. Super bowl 1985 winner Performers formed the score of each championship game.
The show concluded with the question of who would be the next Super Bowl Champions. The performance event group Up with People performed during the halftime show titled "Beat of the Future". Up with People dancers portrayed various scenes into the future.
The halftime show was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day had been held the previous Monday. The Patriots took the then-quickest lead in Super Bowl history after linebacker Larry McGrew recovered a fumble by running back Walter Payton at the Bears yard line on the second play of the game [14] the Bears themselves would break this record in Super Bowl XLI when Devin Hester ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown.
This set up kicker Tony Franklin 's yard field goal into the first quarter after three incomplete passes by quarterback Tony Eason during the first of those three, tight end Lin Dawson went down with torn ligaments in his knee. I thought, yeah, but none of those 15 had ever played the Bears. After both teams traded punts, defensive end Richard Dent and defensive tackle Steve McMichael forced a fumble on Eason that was recovered by defensive tackle Dan Hampton on the New England yard line.
Chicago then drove to the 3-yard line, but had to settle for a yard field goal by Butler after defensive tackle William "The Refrigerator" Perry was tackled for a 1-yard loss while trying to throw his first NFL pass on a halfback option play. The score gave Chicago their first lead of the game, 6—3, and they would never trail New England again. On the Patriots' ensuing drive, Dent forced a fumble on running back Craig James , which was recovered by Singletary at the yard line.
Two plays later, Bears fullback Matt Suhey scored on an yard touchdown run to increase the lead to 13—3. 
New England took the ensuing kickoff and ran one play before the first quarter ended, which resulted in positive yardage for the first time in the game a 3-yard run by James.
James, who earlier gained total rushing yards in the three AFC playoff games, only managed to gain one yard on five rushing attempts in the Super Bowl. After an incomplete pass and a tackle for a 4-yard loss by Hampton on tight end Greg Hawthorne , the Patriots had to send in punter Rich Camarillo again, and wide receiver Keith Ortego returned the ball 12 yards to the yard line.
The Bears subsequently drove 59 yards in 10 plays, featuring a yard reception by Suhey, to score on McMahon's 2-yard touchdown run to increase their lead, 20—3. After the ensuing kickoff, New England lost 13 yards in 3 plays and had to punt again, but got the ball back with great field position when linebacker Don Blackmon stripped the ball from Suhey and cornerback Raymond Clayborn recovered the fumble at the New England During the punt, Ortego forgot what the play call was for the punt return, and the ensuing chaos resulted in him being penalized for handing off a fair catch to cornerback Leslie Frazier , who then suffered a career-ending knee injury while being tackled by Hawthorne.
Patriots head coach Raymond Berry then replaced Eason with Steve Grogan , who had spent the previous week hoping he would have the opportunity to step onto the NFL's biggest stage. I could come in on the punt-block team and stand behind the line and wave my arms, or something. The Bears then marched 72 yards in 11 plays, which included a yard reception by wide receiver Ken Margerum , moving the ball inside the Patriots' yard line.
New England kept Chicago out of the end zone, but Butler kicked a yard field goal on the last play of the half to give the Bears a 23—3 halftime lead. The end of the first half was controversial. With 21 seconds left, McMahon scrambled to the Patriots' 3-yard line and was stopped inbounds.
With the clock ticking down, players from both teams were fighting, and the Bears were forced to snap the ball before the officials formally put it back into play, allowing McMahon to throw the ball out of bounds and stop the clock with three seconds left. The Bears were penalized five yards for delay of game, but according to NFL rules, 10 seconds should have also been run off the clock during such a deliberate clock-stopping attempt in the final two minutes of a half.
In addition, a flag should have been thrown for fighting also according to NFL rules. Meanwhile, the non-call on the illegal snap was promptly acknowledged by the officials and reported by NBC sportscasters during halftime, but the resulting field goal was not taken away from the Bears because of this instance, the NFL instructed officials to strictly enforce the second run-off rule at the start of the season.
While Eason was in the game, the totals were six possessions, one play of positive yardage out of 15 plays, no first downs, 3 points, 3 punts, 2 turnovers, no pass completions, and yards of total offense. After the Patriots received the second-half kickoff, they managed to get one first down, but then had to punt after Grogan was sacked twice, first by Dent for 5 yards, then by linebacker Otis Wilson for Camarillo, who punted four times in the first half, managed to pin the Bears back at their own 4-yard line with a then-Super Bowl record yard punt.
But the Patriots' defense still could not stop the Bears' offense. On the first play, McMahon faked a handoff to Payton, then threw a yard completion to Gault from his own end zone, followed by a yard pass to tight end Emery Moorehead. Seven plays later, McMahon finished the Super Bowl-record yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to increase Chicago's lead to 30—3.
On the third play of the Patriots' second drive of the quarter, Grogan threw a pass that was tipped by tight end Derrick Ramsey and intercepted by Bears cornerback Reggie Phillips who filled in for Frazier , who returned it 28 yards for a touchdown to increase the lead to 37—3. On the second play of their ensuing possession, the Patriots turned the ball over yet again when wide receiver Cedric Jones lost a fumble after catching a yard pass from Grogan and taking a hit by safety Gary Fencik , and linebacker Wilber Marshall returned the fumble 13 yards to New England's yard line.
Five plays later, McMahon's yard pass to wide receiver Dennis Gentry moved the ball to the 1-yard line, setting up perhaps the most memorable moment of the game. Gentry came down out of bounds, which the officials ignored. Perry lined up as the running back in a power-I formation and scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, as he had done twice in the regular season. His touchdown while plowing over McGrew in the process made the score 44—3 in favor of Chicago.
The Bears' three touchdowns is still a Super Bowl third quarter record for most points scored, while their point lead is the record for largest margin going into the fourth quarter. Perry's unexpected touchdown cost Las Vegas sports books hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses from prop bets. The Patriots finally reached the end zone early in the fourth quarter, advancing the ball 76 yards in 12 plays and scoring on an 8-yard fourth-down touchdown pass from Grogan to wide receiver Irving Fryar.
The Bears' defense dominated the Patriots for the rest of the game, and recorded a forced fumble by defensive back Shaun Gayle on Ramsey that was recovered by Singletary, followed by a yard interception return to the New England 5-yard line by linebacker Jim Morrissey.
The Bears then turned the ball over on downs, but nevertheless capitalized on Morrissey's interception when defensive lineman Henry Waechter tackled Grogan in the end zone for a safety to make the final score 46— One oddity in the Bears' victory was that Payton had a relatively poor performance running the football and did not score a touchdown in Super Bowl XX, his only Super Bowl appearance during his Hall of Fame career.
Many people including Mike Ditka have claimed that the reason for this was due to the fact that the Patriots' defensive scheme was centered on stopping Payton. He was given several opportunities to score near the goal line, but New England stopped him every time before he reached the end zone such as his 2-yard loss from the New England 3-yard line a few plays before Butler's second field goal, and his 2-yard run from the 4-yard line right before McMahon's first rushing touchdown.
Thus, Ditka opted to go for other plays to counter the Patriots' defense. Ditka has since stated that his biggest regret of his career was not creating a scoring opportunity for Payton during the game. McMahon, who completed 12 out of 20 passes for yards, became the first quarterback to score two rushing touchdowns in the Super Bowl.
He also gained 49 yards on four kickoff returns. The Patriots had the opening kickoff, two on scores and the last a free kick following the safety. Suhey had 11 carries for 52 yards rushing and a touchdown, and caught a pass for 24 yards. Singletary tied a Super Bowl record with 2 fumble recoveries.
Eason became the first Super Bowl starting quarterback without a pass completion, [25] finishing 0 for 6 with no interceptions. Grogan completed 17 out of 30 passes for yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Although fullback Tony Collins was the Patriots' leading rusher, he was limited to just 4 yards on 3 carries, and caught 2 passes for 19 yards. New England receiver wide Stephen Starring returned 7 kickoffs for yards and caught 2 passes for 39 yards.
The Patriots, as a team, only recorded total offensive yards, the second-lowest total in Super Bowl history. A c milan vs juventus prediction Sources: NFL. Source: [29] [30]. The nation's recognition of the Bears' accomplishment was overshadowed by the destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger shortly after launch on the STS L mission two days later, an event which caused the cancellation of the Bears' post-Super Bowl White House visit.
Twenty-five years after the championship, the surviving members of the team would be invited to the White House in by President Barack Obama , a Chicago native and Bears fan.

The Dolphins gained yards of total offense in their 31—10 playoff win over the Seattle Seahawks , and over yards as they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers , 45—28, in the AFC Championship Game.
In the victory over the Steelers the only team to beat San Francisco during the season , Marino completed 21 of 32 passes for yards and 4 touchdowns, with 1 interception. Meanwhile, the 49ers' underrated defense allowed the team to blitz through the playoffs.
Although Montana threw a combined total of 5 interceptions in their 2 games, they only gave up a combined total of 10 points and no offensive touchdowns in their victories over the New York Giants , 21—10, and the Chicago Bears , 23—0. At 33—3, the combined records for the two teams coming into the game were and still are the best in Super Bowl history.
The 49ers were 17—1 and the Dolphins 16—2 including their playoff games. This was the second time a team could have been considered a home team for a Super Bowl, with Stanford just 30 miles 48 km away from San Francisco proper - Stanford is actually 15 miles 24 km closer to the city than Santa Clara , where the 49ers play home games today.
The 49ers' practice facility was located in Redwood City at the time, just 5 miles 8. The 49ers, as the designated home team in the annual rotation between AFC and NFC teams, wore their home red uniforms and gold pants. The Dolphins wore their all-white road uniforms. As a result of the television contract signed by the NFL, this game was the first Super Bowl to be televised in the United States by ABC , with a new alternation process started for the game.
Frank Gifford was the play-by-play announcer , with analyst Don Meredith and then- Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann served as color commentators. Al Michaels and Jim Lampley hosted the pregame 2 hours , halftime, and postgame. Michaels and Lampley were joined by O. Simpson , who was the normal Monday Night Football second color commentator in the booth. When interviewed as to why Theismann joined Gifford and Meredith in the booth instead of Simpson, director Chet Forte was quoted in the January 14, edition of Broadcasting Magazine as saying that Theismann could contribute more due to having played both teams in the regular-season as well as having played in the two previous Super Bowls.
In addition, Dallas Cowboys head coach Tom Landry served as another analyst in a separate booth during the game. This Super Bowl also marked the first to have closed captioning in real time throughout the game courtesy of the National Captioning Institute previous Super Bowls only had "scoreboard information" captioned ; [13] with the captioning sponsored by Ford Motor Company and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Von Schamann made three field goals and an extra point in this game, but Finkle missed the game-winning field goal in a fictional Super Bowl XIX. A major plot point in the episode "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome" of the television show Sliders is based on this game. In the alternate reality, the 49ers play the Jets in the Super Bowl, which leads the main character Quinn Mallory to the conclusion that something is awry.
The pre-game festivities featured a tribute to the NFL and an appearance by various team mascots. In honor of Inauguration Day , Ronald Reagan, himself a longtime California resident and former Governor of the state from to , became the first president to participate in a Super Bowl coin toss ceremony.
However, he did it from the White House via satellite. This was the first Super Bowl where the coin was tossed after the visiting team had chose heads or tails, not during. The U. In addition, all the pilots were young officers symbolizing California as the land of opportunity and youth.
The halftime show was titled "World of Children's Dreams" and featured Tops In Blue , an elite performing tour ensemble consisting of members from the U. Air Force. Additional performers were recruited from USAF active, retired, and their dependents. Instead of the predicted shootout between quarterbacks Dan Marino and Joe Montana , the game was mostly one-sided. The 49ers' defense only allowed 25 rushing yards and 16 Dolphins points.
San Francisco also intercepted Marino twice and sacked him 4 times. The Dolphins set a Super Bowl record for fewest rush attempts in a game 9. In the opening minutes of the game, it seemed that the game would live up to the hype. The 49ers managed to advance to their own 41, but were forced to punt, and Dolphins cornerback Fulton Walker returned the punt 8 yards to the Miami yard line.
Then on their first play of the drive, Marino completed a yard pass to running back Tony Nathan. Four plays later, Miami reached the San Francisco yard line. But on third down, 49ers cornerback Eric Wright tackled wide receiver Mark Clayton 2 yards shy of the first down. The Dolphins had to settle for a yard field goal from kicker Uwe von Schamann to give them an early 3—0 lead.
Miami's lead did not last long, as San Francisco stormed down the field on their next possession. The 49ers drove 78 yards in 8 plays, which featured a yard run by Montana, followed by his yard touchdown pass to running back Carl Monroe to give them their first lead of the game, 7—3. But Miami retook the lead on their ensuing drive. After a 5-yard rush by Nathan, the Dolphins went into a no-huddle offense , preventing the 49ers from making substitutions and keeping their run defense on the field.
Marino completed five consecutive passes, hitting Clayton for 18 yards, wide receiver Mark Duper for 11, Clayton again for 13, and tight end Dan Johnson for On the next play, Marino finished the drive by hitting Johnson for a 2-yard touchdown pass, giving the Dolphins a 10—7 lead with 45 seconds left in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the 49ers began to take control of the game.
After being forced to punt, Bill Walsh switched to a 4—1—6 or dime defense to slow down the Dolphins' passing attack, with Keena Turner as the sole linebacker. Miami tried to run against the 4—1—6 alignment, to no avail. Safety Dwight Hicks broke up two consecutive Marino passes, and the Dolphins were forced to punt from their own yard line.
Then after taking the ball at the Miami yard line, Montana scrambled for a yard run, and then completed a yard pass to wide receiver Dwight Clark to reach the yard line. From there, running back Wendell Tyler rushed for 4 yards, and then Montana threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to running back Roger Craig , putting the 49ers back in front with a 14—10 lead. San Francisco never trailed again for the rest of the game.
Miami then had to punt again on their ensuing possession, and 49ers cornerback Dana McLemore returned the ball 28 yards to the 49ers yard line. After advancing 15 yards with two running plays by Tyler and Craig, Montana completed a pair of passes to tight end Russ Francis to move the ball 29 yards to the Miami yard line.
Craig ran for 5 yards on the next play, and then Montana finished the drive himself with a 6-yard touchdown run, increasing San Francisco's lead to 21— After the ensuing kickoff, the Dolphins again were forced to punt after a three-and-out, and McLemore returned Reggie Roby 's yard punt 10 yards to the 49ers yard line.
Montana was sacked for a 5-yard loss by defensive end Doug Betters on the first play of the ensuing drive, but he struck back with a yard completion to Craig and a 7-yard run over the next two plays. On the next play, wide receiver Freddie Solomon appeared to catch a pass from Montana at the 12 before losing a fumble to safety Lyle Blackwood. However, field judge Bob Lewis blew the play dead, ruling that Solomon's fumble was an incomplete pass.
Bill Quinby, the side judge, who was nearest to the play, did not make any call. Five plays later, Craig finished the 9-play, yard drive with his second touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run, increasing the 49ers' lead to 28— With nearly two minutes left in the half, the Dolphins finally managed to get a good drive going on their next possession.
Marino completed seven out of nine passes, the last one being a yard pass to tight end Joe Rose , to reach the 49ers yard line. However, San Francisco's defense tightened up on the next three plays, forcing two incompletions and a completed pass for no gain, and Miami was forced to settle for von Schamann's yard field goal to cut their deficit to 28—13 with 12 seconds left in the half.
Then the Dolphins caught a break as the 49ers botched the ensuing kickoff. San Francisco guard Guy McIntyre received von Schamann's short kick and was about to down the ball, but then changed his mind at the last second and decided to return it. This turned out to be a mistake; McIntyre fumbled while being leveled by running back Joe Carter , and wide receiver Jim Jensen recovered the ball for Miami at the San Francisco After that, von Schamann kicked a yard field goal on the last play of the half, cutting the Dolphins' deficit to 28— Then I heard everyone yelling, 'Get up!
Get up. Any thoughts of a Dolphins comeback ended early in the third quarter, as they were shut out by the 49ers for the rest of the game. On the first play of the second half, San Francisco defensive end Dwaine Board tackled Nathan for a 1-yard loss. After an incompletion, Board sacked Marino for a 9-yard loss on third down, and McLemore returned Roby's yard punt 8 yards to the 49ers Montana went on to complete a yard pass to Tyler and gain 16 yards on a scramble as he led San Francisco 43 yards in 9 plays to score on kicker Ray Wersching 's yard field goal, increasing their lead to 31— On the Dolphins' ensuing drive, they were forced to punt again after Marino was sacked twice, first by defensive tackle Manu Tuiasosopo , then by Board.
Starting on their own yard line after a 5-yard return by McLemore, Montana completed a yard pass to Tyler, followed by a yard pass to Francis to reach the Miami Three plays later, Craig scored his third touchdown of the game on a yard reception to make the score 38— Craig's third touchdown marked the first time in Super Bowl history that the same player scored three touchdowns, and also proved to be the last score from either team, as the defenses of both teams took over for the rest of the game — especially the 49ers' defense, who intercepted Marino twice.
On Miami's ensuing drive following Craig's third touchdown, Wright intercepted a pass intended for Clayton at the 49ers 1-yard line. Montana then managed to escape a safety by completing a 9-yard pass to Craig. After the Dolphins were forced to punt on their first posssession of the final period, McLemore fumbled the catch, and wide receiver Vince Heflin recovered the ball for Miami at the San Francisco On the next play, however, Marino was intercepted again, this time in the end zone by safety Carlton Williamson.
The 49ers responded by driving to the Dolphins 2-yard line on a yard reception by Clark, only to then turn the ball over on downs with less than three minutes remaining in the game. Miami then reached the San Francisco 30 to end the game. The 49ers' offensive yards in the first half also tied the Raiders in Super Bowl XI for the most offensive yards in a half during a Super Bowl.
Marino finished the game with 29 out of 50 pass completions for yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. Clayton was the top receiver of the game, with 6 receptions for 92 yards. Walker returned 4 kickoffs for 93 yards and gained 15 yards on 2 punt returns. Nathan was the Dolphins leading rusher with 18 yards, while also catching 10 passes for 83 yards.
He was the first player to score 3 touchdowns in a Super Bowl, and his 2 touchdown catches also tied a Super Bowl record. Tyler led San Francisco in rushing with 65 yards, and also caught 4 passes for 70 yards. Board recorded 2 sacks. McLemore recorded 51 punt return yards, the second most in Super Bowl history.
Sports Illustrated called 49ers defensive tackle Gary Johnson the Super Bowl's "unofficial defensive MVP" after he recorded one sack, flushed Marino out of the pocket numerous times, and had four unassisted tackles. Before this game he had won a silver medal in the shot put competition at the Summer Olympics. After the game, Lyle Blackwood criticized the referee's ruling of Freddie Solomon's fumble as an incomplete pass.
That's a point swing. Even Reggie Roby, who averaged only I was scared — scared to make a mistake. It was the worst game of my life, counting high school, college, counting everything. I didn't throw anything I didn't have confidence in. We got in sort of a groove. Once you get going like that you gain confidence, and it carries over to the defense, and then back to the offense.
It's a snowball kind of thing. The 49ers' offensive line dominated the Dolphins' undersized defensive line, a major reason why Montana was only sacked once. Offensive line coach Bobb McKittrick recalled that when he and his linemen looked at film of the game, they were surprised at how one-sided the matchup was. Walsh recalled that he could see "a distinct difference" between his 49ers and the Dolphins during warmups.
According to Walsh, it was obvious that the Dolphins were "a one-dimensional team" with no real ground game to compliment Marino's passing, and were nowhere near as physical as the 49ers.
