But other stars on the 49ers offense began to emerge, enabling the team to spread
the ball around. After being used primarily as a punt returner during his first
2 seasons, wide receiver John Taylor had a breakout season, catching 60 passes
for 1,077 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also returning 36 punts for 417 yards.
Tight End Brent Jones recorded 40 receptions for 500 yards. Fullback Tom Rathman
had the best season of his career, rushing for 305 yards and catching 73 passes
for 616 yards. Even Montana's backup, quarterback Steve Young had a great
year, throwing for 1,001 yards and 8 touchdowns with only 3 interceptions, while
also rushing for 126 yards and 2 touchdowns. With all of these weapons, San Francisco's offense led the league in total yards from scrimmage (6,268) and scoring (442 points).. |

SB 24 Champion San Francisco 49ers |
The 49ers entered the game seeking to win their second straight Super Bowl. However,
Bill Walsh retired as head coach after San Francisco's 20-16 win over the Cincinnati
Bengals in the previous year's Super Bowl XXIII but rookie head coach
George Seifert did not miss a beat as he guided the 49ers to a league best 14-2
regular season record. Their 2 losses were only by a combined margin of 5 points. The 49ers offense was just as dominating as it was during the previous regular season. Quarterback Joe Montana threw for 3,512 yards, 26 touchdowns, and only 8 interceptions, giving him what was then the highest quarterback rating in NFL history (112.4). Montana also rushed for 227 yards and 3 touchdowns, and earned both the NFL Most Valuable Player Award and the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award. Wide receiver Jerry Rice had another outstanding season, catching 82 passes for 1,483 yards and 17 touchdowns. Running back Roger Craig was the team's leading rusher with 1,054 yards and 6 touchdowns, and he recorded 49 receptions for 473 yards and another touchdown. |
