record 5 touchdowns, while also rushing for 15 yards. Montana's 75.9 completion
percentage was the second highest in Super Bowl history, and he also set a

The halftime show was a salute to both New Orleans and the 40th anniversary of the
comic strip Peanuts. The show featured performances by clarinetist Pete Fountain,
fiddle player Doug Kershaw, and singer Irma Thomas – all Louisiana natives.
The finale featured a float that was dressed up as a riverboat that rose several
stories high. The float was so huge that one of the goal posts had to be moved
so it could be put on the field. |
