Joe Montana was named the Super Bowl MVP, his third award in his fourth Super Bowl
victory. He completed 22 of 29 passes for a total of 297 yards and a Super Bowl
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
record by completing 13 consecutive passes during the game. Head coach George Seifert
was the second rookie head coach to win a Super Bowl. Montana became the
third player in league history to win both the Super Bowl MVP and the AP Most
Valuable Player Award during the same season. Bart Starr and Terry Bradshaw also
won both after the 1966 and 1978 seasons, respectively. |

Super Bowl XXIV |
Super Bowl XXIV was an American football game played on January 28, 1990 at the Louisiana
Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana to decide the National Football League
(NFL) champion following the 1989 regular season. The National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers (17-2) defeated the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos (13-6), 55–10. It remains the most lopsided game in Super Bowl history to date. The 49ers' 55 points were the most ever scored by one team, and their 45-point margin of victory was the largest ever. The 49ers are the only team in a Super Bowl to score at least two touchdowns in each quarter. Their 2nd of 8 touchdowns ended with a missed extra point however. They are also the only team to score 8 touchdowns in a Super Bowl. This marked the first time in 10 years that a team won back-to-back Super Bowls, the last time being when the Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowls XIII and XIV following the 1978 and 1979 seasons. The Broncos became the second team to lose three Super Bowls in four years after losing Super Bowls XXI and XXII, both by considerable margins as well. The Vikings also lost three Super Bowls in four years (VIII, IX and XI). The Buffalo Bills have also joined this group since. |

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. |

NFC titlist San Francisco won its fourth Super Bowl championship with a 55-10 victory
over AFC champion Denver. The 49ers, who also won Super Bowls XVI, XIX, and XXIII, tied the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl victories. The Steelers captured Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and XIV. San Francisco's 55 points broke the previous Super Bowl scoring mark of 46 points by Chicago in Super Bowl XX. San Francisco scored touchdowns on four of its six first-half possessions to hold a 27-3 lead at halftime. Interceptions by Michael Walter and Chet Brooks ended the Broncos' first two possessions of the second half. San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana was named the Super Bowl most valuable player for a record third time. Montana completed 22 of 29 passes for 297 yards and a Super Bowl-record five touchdowns. Jerry Rice, Super Bowl XXIII most valuable player, caught seven passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns. The 49ers' domination included first downs (28 to 12), net yards (461 to 167), and time of possession (39:31 to 20:29). |
